Great location at the very edge of the city centre. The hotel is clean & comfortable, but decoratively, a little jaded.

The hotel has a beautiful lobby area and gives the vibe of a historic building. The hotel sits across from the Examinations College of Oxford University. The hotel is right off High Street and its an easy walk to the university, shopping and restaurants.

Comfortable and fuss free

A comfortable stay without any issues. For the price, it was fine though do note that things are a little dated and like most old Oxford buildings, the floorboards can be a bit noisey but overall, it was pleasant and clean.

Like a dolls house

Everything seemed to be in miniature. Room was tiny, was a challenge to get in and out of the shower. Breakfast plates also small. Alleyway to car park tiny and very few spaces. Very expensive compared against other Mercure hotels.

Don't stay here unless you really need to. The room wasn't cleaned properly and the performance of the staff was shoddy. We gave up waiting for breakfast after about 30 minutes and went elsewhere.

The hotel room was ok, the bed comfortable. The staff on reception were welcoming and performed well. But the dining room was chaotic. We ordered coffee and peppermint tea - apparently the hotel had no decaf coffee in either the rooms or the dining room. It took 15 mins plus a couple of reminders before it arrived at our table. We ordered breakfast and after 50 minutes waiting we walked out and told the staff to cancel it we could not wait an hour for breakfast. Other tables were repeatedly brought the wrong food and plates were going back and fore to the kitchen. We felt sorry for the young staff who were overwhelmed and there was clearly a management failure to render the breakfast session so poor and chaotic.
