Small and friendly hotel, close to Folly bridge and easily walkable to the centre and university areas. Room was clean and comfortable but only one USB port on a table lamp which was slow charging. Cafe was very good and breakfast was lovely.

4/10 Fair

Not as pictured and not clean.

There was a spiderweb over the light in the ceiling that had been there a while. and the room was not clean. Thankfully, The bathroom was clean. The room smelled of old cigarette smoke. The hotel had seen better days. Looked adorable online but that was deceiving. The cafe was nice and the staff was nice. The hall carpet had not been vacuumed in a while. NEEDS a thorough cleaning. The reviews said clean but it was not.

Sarah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ethos hotel was okay. It had what we needed. The room was super dusty with spider webs, and had a musty smell. But I find that to be pretty typical in the older buildings in England. The bed was large and comfortable. The shower head didn’t work properly when we arrived, but they came in and replaced it immediately. The cafe in the lobby was great!! The staff was helpful and courteous. Overall we enjoyed our stay! About 20 minute walk to Oxford train station. Bus stops located nearby. Location was mostly quiet and easy to get to city center.

Small and picturesque hotel close to city center

Small and picturesque hotel close to Oxford city centre and green areas. Walking distance to everything you need and all the sights. A slightly run down room compensated by very friendly and service minded staff. Surprisingly good continental breakfast. A hotel to recommend to both families as well as couples and single travelers.
