My wife booked a night at this 'Hotel' as a treat for my birthday and despite the high cost decided to splash out as it was a special occasion. I am afraid that despite the modern boutique styling this accommodation has no facilities and provides accommodation far below that of a B&B let alone a Hotel. Their is no Bar,... More

Thought we'd gone to the wrong place when we drove up a narrow street with resident parking only on both sides and nowhere to park the car. Arrived here late in the evening after a very long tiring drive and was really disappointed to be escorted to our room, which was not within the building itself. The bedroom door opened... More

This hotel is an over-priced serviced room vendor. The owner, was surly, rude, and gave the impression he did not want to be bothered by you, except to take your money. Reception was left unattended, and when I asked for a printed invoice, he just said, 'I'll email it, my computer is not turned on.' !No customer service skills at... More

We have just returned from an overnight stay at the Ethos Hotel. On arriving at 12 on the Saturday afternoon the hotel was empty with a note informing guests to pick up the receiver and wait for an answer. Approximately 25minutes later a young lady arrived and informed us the room would not be ready until 3. No parking available... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in April, mainly because it was close to friends, but it turned out to be very convenient to everything in Oxford. It was a short walk along the river to the Folly Bridge, or over the Grandpont Bridge. 10 minutes into the centre. Booking was easy. The reception was friendly. The room was good.... More

My husband and I recently stayed in room 2 for four nights at the end of March. We had a bit of trouble getting to England from America due to British Airways ineptitude causing us to have a 7 hour delay on our international flight from Miami, Florida. This caused us to miss our planned train at Paddington, and therefore,... More

Just returned from a 3 night stay here over the easter weekend. The hotel is only a short walk from the train station (15-20 minutes) and easy enough to find. Check in was quick and we were staying in a room outside and around the corner from the reception which was nice as it felt more private. The room itself... More

When i arrived i found reception quirky but parking was an immediate problem. The receptionist directed me to a free parking area a few minutes down the road. I was able to park directly outside my room and unload before parking the car. Which you couldn't do in most hotels! When i got to my room i was so pleased,... More
