The hotel offers a cozy stay with individual room touches and a truly comfortable bed. The service is top-notch with impressive customer care. Its recent refurbishment adds charm to the already great location near the center. The dining experience, featuring lovely fresh ingredients, exceeds expectations. However, Wi-Fi comes at an additional cost, slightly affecting the overall value for money.

The hotel is nestled in a lovely area of Oxford, close enough to shops on the high street and offers a great bed for a comfy stay. However, some improvements are needed in the dining experience with limited choices and the facilities could use a boost. Overall, a pleasant stay with friendly service and a convenient location.
