Comments
I specifically booked a room with a private bathroom, as clearly stated in the listing, but I was given a room with a shared bathroom instead. Despite raising the issue, the hotel refused to provide a room matching the original description, even though availability appeared to exist.
The room also had an unpleasant smell throughout my stay.
More concerning, the fire door on my floor was wedged open, which raises serious safety concerns.
In addition, the hotel is quite far from the city centre, which makes getting around less convenient.
Overall, the service and standards did not match what was advertised.
There was also an unpleasant smell, and the walls appeared dirty, which affected the overall comfort.
With some improvements in cleanliness and maintenance, this place could be a better option for short stays.
The centre of Oxford can be reached by bus in 15 minutes conveniently, and is even in extended walking distance.
There are also shops, cafes, and pubs within 5 minutes of walking.
I cannot comment on the other rooms in the property...
