This hotel is tucked in a quiet neighborhood in Oxford, close to walking to city center. Rooms are in a few different buildings (former flats, I am assuming), so not a traditional type of hotel.

Clean, comfortable air conditioned room! Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was tasty and included with my rate. It was within walking distance to all the places I needed to get to in central Oxford. I would stay again and recommend the Ethos hotel!

While not brand new, I think this was my favorite hotel of the whole stay in the UK. It was close to the hub of Oxford, but on a side street that was nice and quiet. The room was spacious, and there was air conditioning, a fridge, and a tub. Couldn't have asked for better during our stay in Oxford!

6/10 Good

The staff are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great. Parking was a bit difficult as there was very limited space to manoeuvre due to the tight residential area in which the hotel is situated. Our room was comfortable but the bathroom door was not fitted properly (hanging off the top hinge) and didn't close. The hall and stair cases in the building where our room was located were in need of a good clean although it did have a new stair carpet. The exposed wiring to the fire alarm outside our room was not very professionally completed. Having said all that we had an enjoyable stay and found it very convenient for walking into the city centre each day so luckily we did not need to move our cars until we left.

This is a little hotel made from some houses so there isn't a lobby or lifts. But my room was spacious and had everything I needed (little mini kitchen in the corner too!). The breakfast was excellent. We hung in the dining room at the end our our day with some drinks chatting with other guests and the bartender which was really nice. This was our favorite place to stay on this trip.

This was a great hotel. The room and bed were huge. Everything was spotless. We travelled by public transport and the hotel was about a 20 minute walk from the station. Although the hotel is not right in the centre, it is only a few minutes from the Head of the River pub and 10 minutes from the Westgate centre. The area is beautiful and very quiet
