    homemade sweets
    divine crepes
    great location
    snug room
    loud extractor fan

    The homemade sweets at Browns Cafe are pure bliss, and the divine crepes at Crepes O Mania? Just wow! Plus, it’s right in the heart of Oxford, making it a perfect launchpad for culinary adventures!

    Sure, our top-floor room felt a bit snug, but it had everything we needed for a cozy night. Just be aware of the loud extractor fan that decided to keep us up—it was a bit of a cheeky serenade.

    I loved how cozy and full of character my room was! Just a short walk from all the main attractions. The only downside was a weak shower pressure. 🛁

    ideal location
    cozy atmosphere
    hygiene issues
    stained sheets
    grubby bathroom

    The location is ideal, making it easy to explore historic sites within walking distance. The accommodation was comfy and decorated warmly, creating a cozy atmosphere. I noticed some hygiene issues, with stained sheets and a bathroom that could use more attention. While the complimentary breakfast was a nice touch, the overall cleanliness detracted from the experience.

    fantastic location
    clean rooms
    shared bathroom
    limited breakfast variety

    The location was fantastic, right in the heart of everything. Rooms were generally clean and comfortable, but a shared bathroom made it a bit inconvenient. Breakfast options were fine, though I wished for more variety. a charming spot despite minor drawbacks.

    delicious breakfast
    noisy windows

    Amazing location and cozy vibes!

    This place was super clean and comfy. The shared bathroom was never a hassle, and the breakfast was epic! They had these awesome muffins with salmon that I still dream about. Just a heads up, the windows don't block out the street noise too well, so be ready for early morning sounds. All in all, a great spot!
