The best of British hospitality and a comfortable cosy room made up for no lift and older facilities, all of which worked well. ##### Anne Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kenneth 22 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very nicely kept "homey" place to stay. More like a B&B than hotel. Great fresh, made to order breakfast each morning .Really good staff (came back in after midnight to get suitcases airline had misdirected.) No a/c, but opening windows helped keep it cool at night. No elevator. Rooms on 2nd and 3rd floors. Road construction nearby means a little longer walk to downtown, but were told in advance. ##### Kenneth Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Beechwood House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Beechwood-House.h39146125.Hotel-Information) > - [Corinthia London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Corinthia-London.h3849185.Hotel-Information) > - [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > - [The Tree Hotel at Iffley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-The-Tree-Hotel-At-Iffley.h11899956.Hotel-Information) > - [easyhotel Oxford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Easyhotel-Oxford.h65706183.Hotel-Information) > - [The Dilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Dilly.h21538.Hotel-Information) > - [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > - [The Grand Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-The-Grand-Brighton.h6969.Hotel-Information) > - [University of Oxford, Anne McLaren Kellog House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-University-Of-Oxford.h30551500.Hotel-Information) > - [Kings guest house](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Kings-Guest-House.h33444161.Hotel-Information) > - [Cotswold Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Cotswold-Lodge-Hotel.h1209522.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Birmingham.h789053.Hotel-Information) > - [University of Oxford, St Hugh's College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-University-Of-Oxford.h30551400.Hotel-Information) > - [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cumberland, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Cumberland.h21659.Hotel-Information) > - [All Seasons Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-All-Seasons-Guest-House.h3918446.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > - [The Mad Hatter Oxford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-43-Iffley-Rd.h96305040.Hotel-Information) > - [University of Oxford, William R Miller Building - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-University-Of-Oxford.h30551411.Hotel-Information) > - [OYO Lina Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Lina-Guest-House.h3536161.Hotel-Information) > - [No.192 Oxford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-No192-Oxford.h89531572.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Oxford.h12654.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Brighton-Waterfront.h21983.Hotel-Information) > - [Athena Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Athena-Guest-House.h12591862.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal London St Paul’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-St-Pauls.h1457972.Hotel-Information) > - [Atlas Oxford House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Atlas-Oxford-House.h44966222.Hotel-Information) > - [OYO Lonsdale Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Lonsdale-Guest-House.h22350002.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-Tower-Bridge.h4190769.Hotel-Information) > - [The Richmond Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-The-Richmond-Hotel.h24317313.Hotel-Information) ---
