The property is on the heart of Oxford. Less than 5 minutes to the Ashmolean and in the heart of the shopping district. But very quiet.

The location was excellent, right in the heart of Oxford and within walking distance of major attractions. The building has a charming historic character, and the room was clean and comfortable. Staff were polite and helpful during the stay.

The room was slightly small, and sound insulation could be improved, especially at night. Other than that, everything was fine.
