They need to improve the standard of room according to the price level like i paid £100 for 2 nights but felt like living in £50.

Noise from hallway and paint getting off on room wall.

Electricity going off frequently .

However, quick fix from staff so service is alright.

Solid accommodation, tidy and fine for a short stay. The rooms have a few dings (bathroom door handle missing etc) but are comfortable enough. About a 20 minute bus journey to the center of Oxford.

3 stars describes it well. Sound proofing decent against the road traffic noise and noisy people outside, but my room smelled of cigarette smoke, so I had to choose between fresh air and the noise of opening a window. Woke up once or twice due to internal doors closing, but I went to sleep very early due to jet lag.

Bedding and room felt clean. Bathroom had old blood by the toilet door-handle.

Decent for a £50 night in Oxford, I guess.

Location pretty good - short bus ride into the centre of town.

Good price for a 6 day stay. Suitable for international students during the shifting timing. Although the check-in procedure wasn't smooth as there was a bit was confused with the room allocation and had to wait near the reception area for almost 20 mins.
Bathroom handle and lock is not missing.

Couldn’t park as arrived late and situated above few shops and takeaway . Not a very good welcoming . Bathroom smelt awful , flooring looked dirty and mould all around the edges of wet room . Double bed was so noisy every time you moved or turned over , hardly slept at all . We were at the front so could hear the traffic . Can’t watch the tv from the bed as tucked in the corner on the table , one chair to sit on for 2 people . I would say carpet was nice and walls were cleanly painted . Bedding and towels were clean and fresh . Just needs modernising as wasn’t that cheap . I would say fair not a good rating as mentioned . Glad it was only one night
