A gem in the heart of Oxford
We stayed three nights over Christmas. Before arrival our queries were dealt with in a pleasant and efficient manner. We booked a parking space and the detailed instructions on how to find the carpark included the post code to find your way in via tiny cobbled lanes. The attention to detail continued with our parking space having my name on a board. Checking in was effortless and included a warm wrlcome. Our superior room was spacious, comfortable with views across the to the All Souls frontage. Original artworks cover the walls. The restaurant has a terrific menu with good cooking. The restaurant space is very attractive with more modern art. We were sorry to leave.

I did not mention the cost of this hotel to my husband before booking it as he is a bit frugal. I chose it because it was in the heart of old Oxford and had a free parking space for our rental car. I did not want to navigate the congested Oxford Streets driving on the left side of the street trying to find a parking space. We are both senior citizens with physical walking limitations. We glided into our parking space and left the car in it for our whole visit. We bought a hop on and hop off bus pass. The bus stop was right outside the Inn. We were able to visit all the major sights we wanted to see and limit our need for unnecessary walking and Ubers and taxi's. We had a well organized handicapped room. Not all of them are as functional as this one. We were able to walk to nearby eateries easily. We also ate in the Quod restaurant one night when it was raining and it was great. We paid to have the morning breakfasts which were outstanding. My husband was particularly impressed with them. The staff was lovely and extremely helpful with advice and offers to help with bags.If you are young healthy and on a budget this might not be the best match. But, if you are older, want to be in the middle of history, need to be careful about physical effort, and comfortable with the cost, this is an outstanding hotel experience. I confessed the cost to my husband before we left and he uncharacteristically said, "It was worth every penny."

We had a wonderful stay! It was quiet, comfortable, and cozy. We had dinner at the hotel and it was terrific. Overall the room was small but the great location, the cleanliness, and the efficiency of the staff more than made up for that! Highly recommend!
