My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a nice big TV, although they could have been cleaner as there was a lot of dust under the bed. The service was helpful and polite, making my experience enjoyable. The location was fine for the purpose of my visit, with easy access to Tesco and other shops. The dining experience offered a good choice of food, although it was not as good on some days compared to others. The facilities provided were decent overall.

The hotel is conveniently located for tourists exploring Oxford without breaking the bank. The rooms, while spacious and well-equipped, lacked cleanliness and maintenance. The service was friendly and up to expectations, enhancing the overall experience. The dining options were decent but somewhat disorganized. Despite its flaws, the value for money was reasonable for a short stay.

Although our room was not up to standard, being located at the furthest part from the main entrance, it had good space around. However, it felt very unclean compared to other Premier Inn locations we've visited. The service, especially from the Restaurant Manager, was extremely helpful, going above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay. The location provided easy access to Oxford city center, ideal for tourists, and the nearby Beefeater restaurant offered a convenient dining option. Overall, a decent hotel with some issues that need attention.

I had a pleasant stay at this Premier Inn. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff provided the great service I expect from this chain.

The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to the main roads. The rooms are in need of renovation and could be cleaner, although they are very quiet and well-insulated from noise. The service was a mix of unaccommodating and welcoming attitudes. The dining options were good but slightly overpriced. The hotel offers ample car parking and is close to public transportation.

The hotel rooms were of the quality of Premier Inn: super clean, large, and with comfortable beds, although located at the furthest part from the main entrance. The service was generally lovely and up to the standard I expect, except for one manager who was obnoxious and rude. The location, somewhat remote, requires a car and is around 55 minutes away from work; however, it provides access to a 24-hour TESCO and a small retail park. The dining experience was functional but good value for the price. The facilities were satisfactory.

When staying at this Premier Inn, you can be sure you'll get a good-sized room that's superbly insulated from any traffic noise. The beds are comfortable, the rooms and en-suite facilities are very clean, and you'll have the convenience of tea and coffee making facilities. The location is decent, especially for tourists looking for a budget-friendly option with easy access to the city center.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were warm and clean but quite far from the main entrance. On the plus side, they were a good size with a comfy big bed and a decent bathroom, plus convenient parking, all for just £66. However, the location wasn't the most attractive and there were issues with parking tickets. The service was extremely helpful and friendly, especially at the adjoining Beefeater. The dining experience was fantastic, providing a great start to the day and delicious food. Overall, a good value for money stay with some minor drawbacks.
