10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is located 1.7miles to the centre of Oxford. Which is lovely, if like me you love walking!! It is in the great location of Summer Town with a parade of shops for restaurants, coffee shops and local supermarkets. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and well stocked with clean towels, toilet paper and shower gel. However, there were only 2 hangers to hang either a coat or handbag. There was no other furniture or hanging space and no tea or coffee facilities in the room. Parking is on a first come first served basis - I would advise arriving there before 11am when check out is to grab a space. Once you've paid £15 per night, the parking is guaranteed to be yours, even if you decide to drive somewhere else and then return, you'll find a space."
