    Great ambience and lovely decor down to the smallest details. Kudos to the interior designer! Staff were very friendly and helpful with any queries. I stayed in a single room as travelling alone, prior reviews made me worry slightly about size and amenities but it was just perfect! Modern and stylish shower room with Victorian touches like taps/faucets and lamp shades.

    It is a grand, stylish property with period features. The bar, restaurant and drawing room are designed beautifully and make great places to relax - albeit the bar is possibly a bit small for such a large hotel. The bed was very comfortable. Excellent location for exploring Oxford.
