. Would only stay here...

Liked: The bar area is welcoming and comfortable. We enjoyed the meal we ate in the evening in the restaurant..just Indian food is served in the evenings. The bed was comfortable,with tea and coffee facilities in our room and plenty of toiletries in the bathroom. The staff were polite and friendly.
Disliked: Going up the stairs and into the bedroom, the carpets and paintwork were really neglected and dirty-looking. The carpet in our room looked as if it was beyond cleaning and had large threadbare patches. The paintwork and walls need to be completely re-done and it was difficult to see what colour the curtains were supposed to be. Breakfast is quite limited and bacon not available. Although Oxford is an expensive city to stay in and this hotel appears to be reasonably priced, we wouldn't want to stay here again . The overall feeling in the room and bathroom is that they are neglected and not clean. There is another hotel close by. It's a pity as this is an attractive building , Iffley is a beautiful village and the frequent buses to town are just around the corner.

Exceptional

Liked: Loved thr bedroom, the bathroom, the staff were friendly and welcome and the breakfasts was great! Lovely location, very quiet and it was walking distance to the canals and the pubs.
Disliked: Nothing to complain about.

I will not stay again

Liked: My bedroom did not look like the one above in the photo
Disliked: The wiring & general state & smell of my single bedroom & bathroom The bed was uncomfortable

A wee bit sad.

Liked: The location was good for the purpose of exploring Oxford.
Disliked: No welcome. The first words spoken to us were: you pay now. Staff were dismissive.

Passable

Avoid.

Liked: Exterior of the building looks reasonable (outside of the building looks okay). But not the interior . Need alot of TLC. Not would you expected
Disliked: . Interior was lacking. Windows was falling out , lots of mould, wallpaper was peeling off, bathroom showers head was full of hairs. Bath panel held on with filler, carpet was stain, the pillow cover hasn't been changed , it still had stains on them ,curtain has also stained, the kettle was dirty,with limescale, there were bugs on the carpet. TV was super tiny. . Got woken up in the middle of the night, to give our heater to another guess. It was very unprofessional. It was the worst hotel ever stayed in . I wouldn't recommend.. breakfast was suppose to be at 8.30am which was included. But told us what time We want it. ?. So given them a time ,then they said no , come at 9am. But when we arrive. Tgere were ni staff until At 9.15am Breakfast wasn't ready. Or set up, ask what's for breakfast. Only cornflakes,, milk juice coffee, vegetarian breakfast, not must off a choice
