Location!!
Great breakfast buffet with fresh fruit, yogurt and all the fixings. Quaint atmosphere, we loved the patio. Perfect location near the train station. Ideal walking distance from downtown Oxford. Steve & his team were very accomodating.

The staff are very friendly. One of the owners got us a map and showed us all the places of interest to go to in Oxford. I liked how close we were to the centre. All in all a lovely place to stay

Was on a business trip and was perfect for a basic overnight stay. It's an old hotel and an old building which is part of it's charm.

Budget sojourn
Delightful, friendly welcoming manager.
Small budget hotel slap bang next to the main railway station.
Only hitch: noisy construction work late into the night.
