A Good Stay

comfortable towels easy system shared kitchen

The self check-in system used codes for entry. It was simple to use. The provided towels were large. They were also comfortable. We arrived before the room was ready. Staff allowed us to store our bags. This was a helpful gesture. The shared kitchen provided all necessary amenities and a dining area. These features contributed to a positive experience. I found great value for money. The location is very accessible.

The bus information provided was inaccurate. This caused some frustration. We struggled to locate the correct routes initially. We eventually found alternate transportation. I emailed a request immediately after arriving. I never received a reply. It appears support after payment is limited.

access code serious breach

The room was lovely and clean.

The front door access code changed WITHOUT any prior notice. I was locked out late in the evening. Getting a new code required an explicit request after being locked out. This is a serious breach of trust and basic standards.

communal kitchen nice bonus easy walk wrong room entry code

The communal kitchen was a nice bonus. It was well equipped. The walk to the O2 and restaurants on Cowley Road was easy. The decor was nice and neutral.

The host mistakenly checked another guest into my room. This happened in the middle of the night. The previous guest returned and used the entry code.
