Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I booked this place for my father to come and visit for a night while I finish my university studies. The reviews online seemed decent, but in reality, it was far from decent. The main issue was the cleanliness which was pretty much non existent in the room. Grime throughout the ensuite bathroom, surfaces caked in dust, and very aged equipment. To highlight how aged and poor condition, the television on the wall started to fall off the wall. My father attempted to report it to the front desk, but was assured it was normal. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Avoid at all costs.

B&B a short walk from hospital and shark!

A one night stop over for an appointment at John Radcliffe Hospital the next morning. Nice small, basic room which met my needs. Good bus connections. Short walk to hospital and town centre. I accidentally booked the wrong date but they had a room available.
