The lady who greeted us was lovely, she came to meet me at the front door and explained my keys and everything, and the bedroom was well presented, the bed itself and the towels given were clean.
Sadly the cleanliness of the bathroom was subpar, there was hair in the drain and moulding behind the sink. Sadly the fridge in the bedroom stunk. Where it had been left unplugged, you could just smell it.

They keep a reliable standard of roompredentation and comfort. A quiet room at the rear of the building despite Cowley road being at the front. Very helpful staff.
Can't think of anything.

Convenient distance from my workplace hence ideal.
Would've preferred to stay for a week but couldn't afford it since paying out of my own pocket.

Nice clean and comfortable room, good location not too far from my course location and plenty of shops nearby
Parking was awkward most nights and getting out onto a relatively busy road can be difficult at certain times of the day
3.0
The room was clean and adequate and facilities were as described. It was fine for a single overnight stay. Locating the hotel was difficult as it is situated over a parade of shops with an entrance between shop frontages. Parking is on the shop frontage. A good bus service operates to the city centre, with a stop near the hotel.
Signage for the hotel requires improvement.

Reasonable-sized en-suite room with fairly comfortable bed and desk/chair. Fan was welcome. Despite the room overlooking the main road and directly behind a bus stop, it wasn’t too noisy. Host was friendly and tried to resolve the parking issue but in the end we had to park in the road.
Despite arranging a parking space in advance, this didn’t materialise (the property is above a barbers) and we had to park in a side street a few mins walk away (residents only during weekdays). Shower support broken so had to hold with one hand while showering. Water doesn’t drain away very well so bathroom floor very wet after showering. Basic tea/coffee supplies with 2 mugs but only 1 glass and no spoons for 2 people. Extra pillows would have been nice. Location not in the nicest part of Oxford but convenient for where we wanted to go

Room and bathroom were clean and tidy. No mould. Only 1 pillow though but did not ask for another. There was a large electric fan in the room. They had thoughtfully closed the curtains as it was v hot weather. Plenty of tea/coffee etc plus soap bar and shampoo provided.
The headboard was askew. My room was not serviced. My first night, I was kept awake by other guests from 11.45pm till 4am who were constantly opening/closing downs and going up/down the stairs non-stop. The next night I slept well.

Nothing to like. The place was situated right next to a very busy main road above a barbers shop and next to a kebab shop. Simply unable to park there, even though the listing suggests there are places for two cars - who wants to leave a car parked outside a kebab shop overnight even if you can get a parking spot, for goodness sake? Anyway, couldn't get either space as these were being used by customers.
Apart from the rubbish car parking facilities, the area looked rough. In the end, my wife and I chose not to stay there and went elsewhere instead...and if you look at the reviews of the place, you can't blame us. I should have researched the reviews in more detail before booking. The listing for this property is very misleading in respect of the car parking. Plus, the owners don't say the room is above a barbers shop and next to a kebab shop and that you will have almost no chance to park your car. Also, they don't provide a picture of what the outside of the property looks like - if they did, they would get almost no bookings. Dreadful area and a bit of a dump. I would not stay here for a gold clock and all the tea in China.

The landlord was very helpful. Its located close to temple cowley and if you like walking also to The cowley road. The bus stop is right in the front so great bus connection.
What would be very useful its a small fridge in the room as i´d be nice to keep some food or drink in the room and not to have to go and eat every day in restaurants.

Location and price was satisfactory
Dirty walls, carpet, mouldy bathroom, sticky and dirty bedside cabinet, bedside light broken, kettle lid broken,
The night 3 of my stay the power went out at 3am costing emergency lights come on for about 10min in the room and for the rest of the morning light lit in the utility room. Fire alarm was beeping loudly keeping me up from 3am until I had to leave for work.
