6.8/10

The hotel had nice and tidy rooms with decent spacing, although the lack of a digital thermostat for temperature control was a downside for me. The table clearing was efficient, but the pricing seemed a bit high for what was offered.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were very nice and tidy with decent spacing, making it not feel too clustered. However, the absence of a digital auto-controlled thermostat for a steady temperature was a drawback.

Service

8.0

The service was very attentive to our needs, friendly, and efficient, providing helpful advice on local dining options. The only hiccup was the difficulty in finding my reservation despite having the booking reference.

Location

6.0

The hotel's location wasn't ideal for accessing buses to Oxford, requiring a 10-minute walk through a football stadium car park and alley. However, it was conveniently situated next to a leisure park with various amenities and just a short distance from Oxford City Centre.

Dining

6.0

It fell short of our expectations regarding the timing and variety.

Facilities

7.0

The dining options were decent given the circumstances, but could have offered more variety, especially for vegetarians.

I had a brief stay at this hotel, and while the location seemed attractive with easy access to Oxford and nearby entertainment options, the lack of amenities and disappointing service left me feeling like I would not choose to stay here again.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms, although serving their purpose, felt small and dated.

Service

5.0

I was quite disappointed by the service as there was a lack of attention to customer needs, such as the inability to provide basic facilities like hot water, and a general sense of indifference towards guest concerns.

Location

6.0

The hotel is far off from the city with no immediate access to food or shopping, although it is surrounded by some entertainment venues like Oxford Stadium, Gala Bingo, and eateries.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was subpar, missing standard items and offering a limited selection, particularly unsatisfactory for breakfast options.

Facilities

The hotel lacked basic facilities that one might expect, contributing to an overall disappointing experience.
