easyhotel Oxford

10/10 Excellent
"The apartment was very clean, modern and spacious, perfect for the three of us. We appreciated the supplied coffee pods and the apartment was well stocked with linens, towels, cleaning and bathroom supplies, clothes hangers etc. Having parking was a very nice feature (since the location isn’t that walkable to downtown Oxford, so having a car was necessary for us). The apartment is on the top (3rd) floor without a lift, so carrying up our luggage was good exercise! The location is a quiet residential neighborhood so we appreciated the peacefulness at night. Overall we thought the apartment was great value and very much suited our needs."

"I stayed in a front facing deluxe room which was very spacious and had everything I needed. The surprise addition of a small fridge in the room was great for me as it meant I could fill it with cold cans & nibbles, which made for a comfortable evening in after a long day out. I felt very secure as a female solo traveller & the offer from staff to help me with my luggage down the stairs was very welcome. The view from the large windows over Broad Street was superb especially in the morning as the sun came up. It’s a shame there isn’t a small table & chair in the window area as it was a lovely place to sit & watch the world go by."

It is very well located opposite the Westgate shopping mall and a few steps away from a weatherspoon pub. Very happy with our stay there."
