The location was AMAZING. The room was super clean and cozy, and I had everything I needed. The central heating worked VERY well and kept the room warm.

The doors are thin. I could see light from the corridor at the bottom.

Solid Central Stay

easy check-inclean roomconvenient service

Check-in was REALLY easy. The room was clean upon my arrival. The location is great for exploring the city center. I appreciated being able to leave my bags after checking out. That was a convenient service.

The front desk person was not very friendly or cute at all.

Dining

Several bakeries are within walking distance of the hotel. These bakeries offer many options for breakfast and other meals. This setup allowed me to explore local options instead of relying solely on hotel dining.

My room was a standard twin. Blackout curtains WORKED well. The bed provided a good night's sleep, thanks to the comfortable mattress and the bedding provided by the hotel.

The hotel is in a central location, yet remains quiet. The Ashmolean Museum is nearby. It is a short walk. Restaurants and shops are also within easy reach from this location.
