7.4/10 Good! (42 reviews)

Great staff & no troubles with accommodation, it is old, but i love old, it is tidy & comfortable.. The atmosphere of the place is awesome with a great view over oxford st.. My only problem with the whole stay is, there is no parking at all & as far as im concerned, if you pay for a room, you get a space for your car aswell, city or not..

8/10 Very Good! (1 review)

Clean room and beds but pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable and the bedside table hadn't been cleaned. Noisy residents and cleaners started cleaning at 7am. Overall not a bad 1 night stay if you are just passing through.
