Poor

3.0

Location was good and staff were good.

Very out dated and no air conditioning. This hotel requires an immediate renovation. The listing was really misleading.

Very handy location to Oxford University.

8.0

The staff carried our luggage up the two floors to our room and were quite prompt in doing so. Breakfast buffet was quite nice with a number of choices.

The temperature inside was hotter than the temperature outside during hot summer days. Fans took a bit to work. No air conditioning. We had to climb 2 floors as there was no elevator. The stair steps were somewhat narrow.

Average and not value for money

5.0

Location was very good

Had to drag suitcases up and down steps and for the price you pay, to have no aircon was terrible

No air conditioning. Dirty walls and dirty windows. The bathroom was very clean. The bedsheets were very clean. It was a single bed with about a 4 inch mattress on it. They did supply a fan, but it did not cool the room. The windows could only be opened about 2 inches so there was no air ventilation.. really miserable. Apparently. Only some of the single rooms are like this, and they were very open about it when I checked in, but that didn’t help me at that point I was stuck with this room.
