Wansford Vacations from $999

Quite an odd set up at this establishment as there isn’t any communal areas and they don’t do any sort of food offering. It doesn’t therefore meet the description of a hotel to me. My room was a good size and in a quieter part of the building. It had a fridge, tea and coffee and decent toiletries. I slept well and the bed was comfortable. The room was clean enough. How they are rated 5* is beyond me…5* hotels don’t give you plastic cups wrapped in plastic in the bathroom. Expensive for what it is, but then Oxford can be on par with London for cost in peak season. Doubt I’d return if visiting Oxford again, but I wasn’t disappointed as such. The receptionist tried to take a copy of my ID which was odd as a British national. I refused to allow them to make a copy.

Only complaint was the shower bath, difficult and dangerous to enter as it was a high bath to go over, and a metal rail on the floor that ran along tub and in front of sink that irritated your feet in front of sink.

“Despite any challenges or inconveniences caused by facilities or noise, the exceptional hospitality and service at Chesham Apartments, Building 17, more than compensate. In a tough economic climate, the dedication of the personnel—Sobreina, Abdulrahman, La Bedraa, La Veina, and Balash—has elevated the experience beyond that of many five-star accommodations. All credit goes to the outstanding staff, excluding any building or furniture-related concerns.”

The room had no air conditioning- it was 31 degrees, made sleeping very difficult. Room was nice and staff were lovely. Just don’t book during a heat wave!

Amazing property. Stayed here for 5 days a week and a half ago. All the staff especially Robert were extremely helpful. Perfect location and the rooftop bar and views were incredible.
