"Very good location for city centre."

7.0

Great central location.

Room was rundown, clearly needed redecorating as there were marks on the wall. The bed was very soft. The room seemed very warm too.

1. I knew the bathroom was shared but it was a floor above and shared with several other rooms. 2. There was no table to work at 3. The lighting was poor for reading purposes

Excellent location. Very comfortable bed.

It is a very old building and the decor could do with a refresh.

"Oxford centre stay"

5.0

The location was great

Very basic facilities. Sink was blocked so water wouldn't not drain. No shower facilities, there was a bath with a glass jug to wash with. It looked like the bath should have had a shower head but it wasn't there and replaced with a kitchen jug instead. The room could be upgraded with newer carpet as the carpet has seen better days.
