Pros: Breakfast was excellent, we couldn't fault it. Beyond that our room was large and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was good but not 'special' for the amount we paid.
Cons: Given that we paid £460 for one night's stay (excluding breakfast), it just wasn't up to par. For similar money you could stay somewhere like the Savoy. I genuinely had expected much better based on the price alone. They didn't have an all-night menu although they did manage to rustle up some burnt toasties for us (which they charged us for). I'm usually very happy the places I stay and certainly not a serial complainer but this was just too much money for the standard provided.

Cons: Our room (family room on top floor) had pretty low ceilings resulting in a few knocks to the head, and the door was very small so you had to crouch to enter the room. Not an issue if you know what you are getting into but we didn't see any heads up about this on the website, so maybe not the best for people unable or willing to stoop low for the duration of their stay.

Pros: Very quiet rooms with comfortable beds and good sized rooms. Nice selection of magazines and water that was replenished Very friendly service at bar and servers at breakfast! Location excellent and so was concierge staff
Cons: reception staff rather uninterested at check in One of our rooms was not ready until 1 hour later and we were not offered an apology Head server at breakfast not very pleasant unlike her servers in the restaurant The bathrooms really need an update. Afternoon tea could be improved on (sandwiches dry) Leaf tea was great but should then also be offered at breakfast
8,0 Excellent
Pros: The location was the best.
Cons: The AC system didn't work well for our room. The breakfast was way below the expectation.
5,0 Okay
Pros: Unfriendly staff ... very poor quality and unappetising food at breakfast
Cons: Service, room, food quality.
5,4 Okay
Pros: excellent location in central Oxford, minutes away from historic colleges, the central market, and the bus station.
Cons: Rooms were small, extremely overheated and poorly ventilated. Old carpeting triggered allergies. Breakfast not included in the room price and very expensive ($30 for a continental buffet).

Pros: We were upgraded, very kind .
Cons: There was nothing to dislike

Pros:

7,1 Good
Pros: Excellent location. Comfortable beds with high quality linen and furnishings. Nice selection of Elemis products in the bathroom. Good size TV
Cons: Room far too hot with ineffective air conditioning which was also noisy. Strange arrangement with the fridge which was in the wardrobe and created a lot of heat. Hanging space for clothes very poor could only use 4 hangers due to limited space. Expected a little more on the tea tray very small selection of tea and only two individually wrapped biscuits
10,0 Excellent
Pros: Location excellent. Breakfast very good. Had cooked breakfast and quality of food was excellent.
Cons: Room was a bit small but very well appointed with thick blackout curtains.
2,0 Mediocre
Pros: It is in an excellent location for visiting my daughter who is studying at Worcestor college.
Cons: We were in a room with heavy scaffolding blocking the entire two windows. Men were talking, yelling & working/pounding in front of the two windows every morning. They totally ignored us who needed sleeping in the room. There were no privacy nor courtesy. We were not informed or asked if it's Ok for the reception to assign such a downgraded room (the windows were blocked by scaffolding entirely)to us at check in either. The service and facilities were at most a one star hotel this time. I stayed in this hotel for about 5 times in the last two years because we were visiting our daughter who was studying at Worcestor college(one block away). They've been always about a three stars hotel standard. But this time was the worst. We will not use this hotel any more. It's totally not worth the price & the poor facility.
7,9 Good
Pros: Service was good, despite renovation works
Cons: No parking
5,8 Okay
Pros: The room was pleasant and the staff were very attentive apart from check out.
Cons: The air-con did not work, a fan was provided instead, the expelair did not work so the bathroom was steamed up and hot. The noise from the courtyard was excessive, I understand that a function had happened and the band were loading up vehicles but excessive shouting and banging kept us awake plus emptying of glass bins very late again woke us up. When I pointed these facts out to the receptionist at check out, she simply gave me the managers card to complain which I responded by asking the manager to contact me, that was two weeks ago and nothing heard, never again.

Pros: Location fantastic
Cons: Could hear the lift from my room and people walking above my room on the floor above

The kitchen is good as well and you can have free coffee, tea, water and you can have food of people who left the hostel and left their foods there.
Cons: Maybe, the worst thing of the hostel is the small dark room. In my case a was in a 4 shared room and the environment of the room smelt a bit close. The bed was in my case not as comfortable as I expected, because I am quite tall and I needed more space. However I could sleep enough hours for enjoying Oxford and my short stay, the people in my shared room were very respectful, quiet and I would really recommend this hostel and the hostel experience for 1-3 days travelling.

Pros:
Cons: We'd asked for a quiet room so we could lie in having been out late. We were then woken up at 6 in the morning as our room was next to a locked cupboard, inside which an alarm went off. When we raised it with reception in the proper morning they just shrugged and said "Must be an alarm clock." I was surprised at the attitude - a gesture such as a complimentary breakfast would have been nice at the price we had paid for 5 hours sleep!

The staff wasn't particularly welcoming the first time, but was more friendly during the breakfast. The room and the bathroom were quite large and the breakfast was OK.
Cons: On the second day, when I came back in the evening, I found the door of my room open: possibly it stayed this way for the whole day from the moment the staff cleaned the room. Hopefully, nothing was stolen from the room; nevertheless, this is completely unacceptable. Also, the rooms are not cleaned very well: there are lots of crumbs near the bed and the sofa and stains on the towels.

Cons: Quite expensive, no slippers in the room or bathrobe as other 4 stars hotels, the receptionists were polite but not very knowledgeable (I asked indications to visit the castle and her recommendation was to use google maps :)). The windows could not be entirely open. Few products in the bathroom, no body lotion, etc.

Pros: Room was clean and tidy, and a decent size for 2 people (although I travelled alone) Bathroom was spacious, and shower worked well (power and heat)
Cons: The air con didn't work, I called reception who had a look and told me that it was working (it wasn't - you couldn't feel or hear the fans) and to wait, I returned from my night out and it still wasn't working I again called reception who now said it wasn't working and they offered me to change room at 11.45pm I was tired after travelling and said I didn't want to repack my bag and move, they offered to open windows for me which I accepted.

Pros: The hostel is literally a minute away from the railway station and less than 10 minutes walking from Gloucester Green coach station. You can walk to the city centre easily and the castle is only 8 minutes away by foot. The dorms are comfortable and some of them have the toilet and shower attached, which is great,

Pros: The hostel was clean and the location was good, easy to find. The common area was cosy.
Cons: I didn't like the unfriendly, pedant and rude attitude of the blonde staff guy who was doing my check-in when I came to the hostel in the evening. One should not be able to work in that place if he behaves to the customers like that. The shower area was too small.

Cons: Initial impression was off-putting given that room was clean and tidy. Breakfast room could have a more welcoming feel. We did not sample the continental breakfast, preferring to sample the cafes in the city. Ensuite would be challenging for larger guests - greater than XL size.

Pros: The location was amazing, just across the bridge from the coach terminal and the city centre. It was an easy walk to restaurants, shops, and several of the colleges. There were several lockers available both in the rooms and out in the hallway. Each room door has its own combination lock, which was felt more secure than having room keys (although you have to remember the code or always carry it with you to open the room door). They also provide free luggage storage upon checkout, which is really nice to be able to explore the city more before leaving at night.

Cons: There are a lot of beds in the rooms and there are not many toilets or showers, so everything is a bit cramped. The sitting room/public area is fine and the kitchen is well equipped, but there is not much space to store food.

Cons: There was a weird musty smell in the hallway leading to the rooms, but I'm not sure if that was from people or the hallway carpet. Breakfast, although free, had a long wait as there were not enough toasters and kettles for everyone, unless you wanted just cereal. There were also only 3 showers and 3 toilets for girls for seemingly the entire hostel.

4,6 Okay
Pros: Location.
Cons: Only thing that was reasonable to use it was the bathroom but the rest wasn’t. You understand it’s a hostel and will be full of people but the room had not ventilation, dirty and smelly. A lot of homeless people stay which is fine they need a place to sleep but they stuffs smells and it’s everywhere. I tried to yak at the reception but they didn’t help. I check out early and leaving a day before due. I didn’t receive a an apology or my money either a refund for the night I haven’t sleep.

Pros:
Cons: The hotel is above a nightclub which was open until 3am. The curtains in the room did not cover the window, and were that thin the street lights lit the room. The light and noise made it impossible to sleep. At £144 for one night I felt this was massively overpriced
7,1 Good
Pros: The room was nice and the bed was comfy. Literally 30 seconds away from the coach station and in a prime location for the city centre
Cons: The room was uncomfortably hot, we were on the top floor and whilst going up the stairs you can literally feel the heat change. Even with open windows and the fan turned on it was very warm. The shower began to fill up quite quickly and almost flooded within a few minutes. I would have preferred to have another bedside table on the other side of the bed and more plugs are needed.

5,8 Okay
Pros: The chap on the desk was very friendly and helpful in getting an ice pack for my sprained ankle. Very grateful for his help! Location of the hotel is perfect for the theatres in the area...
Cons: Room tiny, no chairs. Outside ventilation fans very loud, impossible to have the windows open (ironically, no aircon inside). Consequently, despite a small desktop fan, not much sleep - far too hot! Hotel not accessible to wheelchair users. Staircases steep and narrow. Breakfast in a café a few doors away. Strange setup, where a full English is brought to the table, without asking for preferences. No continental option, and the waitress wasn't happy to accept an order for egg on toast instead: "I'll ask the manager".
7,9 Good
Pros: Great breakfast - very generous quantity and everything of good quality. Friendly staff. Handily situated for everything in the centre of Oxford.
Cons: The main problem was nothing really to do with the hotel itself. It was its location above a night club. It was very noisy until the early hours of the morning. Also someone in the club set off a fire alarm, which triggered the alarms in our rooms.
