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
It was in a unique part of Oxford, convenient to walk to many of the things we wanted to see and do, clean, friendly, comfortable, wonderful hot breakfast included. We really enjoyed our stay and it was a perfect kick off for our long awaited UK holiday

Very clean. Good, quiet location and easy access to the centre of Oxford. We used the park and ride at Redbridge which made it easy to get to the hotel in less than 15 minutes.
We found it lacking in useful information on how to use the heating for the living area of the property, The bedroom heating was ok
My family and I came here for the Formula One race and had an outstanding experience. From the moment we arrived there was no hassle. The restaurant food is outstanding, Anna and Bushra went above and beyond to accommodate us, including making food after the restaurant had closed. One of the top places I have stayed in with my family in the UK.
Our family of 4 stayed at this quaint hotel just outside of downtown Oxford for a night. Rooms were clean and modern and we had dinner and breakfast in the cafe downstairs. The cafe offered excellent food and staff were very professional and friendly. Highly recommended if you want a quite place within walking distance (15 minutes) from the city center.
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.
Air conditioning was quiet and effective. There are significant somewhat narrow steps to navigate to get to second floor rooms. Nice breakfast and very helpful staff
Very nice hotel located walking distance from downtown so in a quiet area. Lovely little cafe on site which served a wonderful breakfast. Room very comfortable and updated. Would stay here again if visiting Oxford.

Staff was exceptionally helpful friendly and accommodating, with Busna and Sam ranking among the best we’ve ever encountered in decades of travel! The hotel was also quite close to Oxford City Centre and the University, so everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. We will definitely be recommending Ethos to our friends and returning in our next trip to England!
A great find in Oxford. Well appointed, comfortable rooms with a good breakfast and even free snacks. Friendly staff. I’d definitely stay here in future visits to Oxford. It’s a good walk from the train station but doable, a ten minute walk to city centre.
Good location, close to the centre of Oxforf. Our room was well equipped and comfortable, and the staff very friendly. We would happily stay there again.
Lady at front desk was extremely helpful…she made us feel extremely welcome and assisted us all the way. The location was perfect, only 10 minute walk to the centre of town. Only issue was we had to wait around 50 mins for breakfast because it was so busy, maybe extra help in the kitchen would of helped
