Turl Street Mitre

The location was great, right in the heart of everything. Staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Rooms are basic but very comfortable and clean.

There is no breakfast at the hotel but local coffee shops / options are close by.

Very clean and cool

Nothing

The room is clean, tidy, and quiet, with easy access and friendly staff.

Fabulous location in central Oxford within walking distance of the railway station and the colleges. Pleasant and helpful receptionist. It’s a well-maintained student room with modern furnishings, a very good desk and nice en suite; shower is excellent, nice towels and toiletries. Bed reasonably comfortable. Adequate electrical sockets, kettle, and a small fridge. It's room only - no breakfast - but there are plenty of cafes in the area.

Wifi access was awkward: I needed to register with either a Sky account or with name, DOB, gender (why?) and a house number and postcode in the UK. I don’t reside in the UK. So I didn’t bother. Phone network coverage (Vodafone) was strangely poor considering I was in central Oxford. So I struggled for internet access all weekend and left the room early on Sunday morning so I could do some work in the airport. Room faces south onto the High St with traffic noise, people partying at night, so earplugs needed. It was uncomfortably hot: the first night, after a sunny day, it was 30°C - and the sash windows are restricted to open only a couple of inches. A desk fan was provided which I ended up keeping on constantly through the night. By the morning (this is in August) the temp was 26°C in the room according to the fan’s temp readout. The following day was rainy and the room was more comfortable at night. No hairdryer, no bedside lamp - there’s a lamp mounted on the wardrobe for some reason - no desk lamp. No blinds at windows so I kept curtains drawn for privacy. Curtains are blackout grade curtains but not totally effective at night.
