Top Benson Hotel Reviews

easyhotel Oxford

easyhotel Oxford

10/10 Excellent
"The apartment was very clean, modern and spacious, perfect for the three of us. We appreciated the supplied coffee pods and the apartment was well stocked with linens, towels, cleaning and bathroom supplies, clothes hangers etc. Having parking was a very nice feature (since the location isn’t that walkable to downtown Oxford, so having a car was necessary for us). The apartment is on the top (3rd) floor without a lift, so carrying up our luggage was good exercise! The location is a quiet residential neighborhood so we appreciated the peacefulness at night. Overall we thought the apartment was great value and very much suited our needs."

"Lovely stay, perfect location! The motel and diner were both great and felt like a special night away on our way to an event without breaking the bank. The Dyson and GHDs in the room were a snazzy edition. Only downside was no kettle in the room which meant having to dash outside the room in your pyjamas for your morning cuppa."
