"Manu was a great host, he was very welcoming and helpful and provided clear instructions to find the apartment, parking and how to get into the property. The property was exactly as advertised, in a great location and was spotless. Also, having tea and coffee at the property is only a small touch but has a great impact and shows Manu cares for guests.

"We enjoyed our stay in Oxford. The property was a little out of the way (from City Centre) and it took us a day to figure out the bus system, but once we had navigated it a few times, it was fine. The suite was nicely appointed with everything we needed. Many thanks to our host, who popped in on Day 3 to see how we were doing (and showed us how to open the garden door). We loved your home and your neighbourhood! Linda and Tim (from Winnipeg, CANADA)"

"We had a great time in this property, which is described accurately on the site. It is located a bit outside Oxford, but within walking distance (40 min brisk walk). You can also use the wheels in Oxford (scooters mostly available) and the X3 bus was very convenient. The reason why I docked marks is because I found the processes associated with the property stressful. Now I have been through it, I would book again. Check-in is process heavy compared to a hotel and you have to pay a £250...

"We booked this property about a week before our planned stay in Oxford because the original property we booked suddenly couldn't accommodate us because of some kind of maintenance issue. I was excited about the property; it looked good in pictures and seemed like a great place to get over our jet lag from a long overseas flight. The host was great about communicating before our stay. When we landed a the airport, I contacted the host and asked if it was possible to check in at 2:30 instead...

"The property was really good. Clean, tidy and well presented. My only issue was that the radiators were not as warm despite being on the highest setting. The bedroom especially was very cold.

People are so busy spmetimes one will forget to check that the deposit has been returned back"

"Conveniently located, loads of restaurants and pubs nearby."

The Store

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay in a beautiful part of Oxford. Staff particularly lovely and accommodating."

Malmaison Oxford

8/10 Good

"We loved being in one of the original cell rooms, though ours looked in need of some TLC particularly the bathroom and the wardrobe/desk/chair. The bed was very comfy - would have been good to have a lighter duvet for the current climate. The bar area decor is a bit plain - though the member of staff was super helpful and friendly. The corridors/landing areas are obviously very narrow and when the team are cleaning the equipment clutter them. Would be great if they could find a solution to improve the first impression."

"We had such a wonderful visit. The room was gorgeous and so comfortable. Lovely details and room amenities made us feel very spoiled. Beautifully renovated historic property.

"Great location only a short walk into the centre of Oxford. Helpful to have free parking onsite. Staff very helpful and accommodating. I would definitely recommend."

voco Oxford Spires by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Regular annual visitors to this hotel so knew what to expect. Room was large and clean. Staff we came across were all very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast room was very well stocked there was a really wide choice from the buffet. River walk of about 15 mins into the city. Very quiet at night on this occasion. Onsite car parking is £25 per day. Check in agent did not ask for payment and when i asked i was told it was included which surprised me as it never used to be. I went back later and challenged them on this again and surprise another check showed it wasn't so an apology was given and £50 was taken. Failure to pay would mean a £100 fine later on so beware of this. Couldn't get a stable picture on any tv channel which was a little frustrating but then we weren't there to watch tv."
