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.

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.

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.

Absolutely lovely stay!

The staff was so unbelievably kind - I cannot say enough good things about them! From the free snacks in the cafe through to putting the Olympics on during meals, we were really treated like family. Someone even helped me get my rental car out of the parking lot (which absolutely terrified me as an American). The location is great - right near the folly bridge, a convenient walk to everything while still being quiet and peaceful!

Staff were great, location very good and the Cafe was very convenient. The room floors were not vacuumed unless requested and the rooms were too hot.

The property was over—rated and very expensive, probably due to surge pricing. The cafe staff were incredibly helpful and that was the saving grace.

Good Location

Good location - close walking distance to town center. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The room itself was small for a family of four and fairly basic. But it was sufficient and was a good home base for exploring the region/city.

Charming hotel with even kinder staff

My mother and I had an excellent stay at the Ethos. Both of our rooms were spotless. The best part was the personal attention that the staff gave us. Bushra the manager and her team were kind and helpful with all of our requests and queries for Oxford advice.

Good location

Good location. Always feel a bit odd staying on the ground floor, but it was very quiet. Only gripe was being asked to pay an extra £5 to park from check out time till 2pm. Given that we’d paid over £400 and an extra £20 for parking - it seems a bit mean spirited as no one else would be parking there.

The place needs some updating with bathroom walls pilling off and mould around the window. As soon as 7am arrives the whole building smells like breakfast and made the morning uncomfortable until we had to open the window in the room.

STAY THERE! Wonderful hotel.

It was the second time and I was given my really cool room - and considering it was 35 degrees outside and I had fought my way up from Devon being slowly spit-roasted, I really appreciated the air-conditioning! Everything about the hotel is special and a distinct 15/10, especially my breakfast Eggs Benedict which was the tastiest I've experienced - the dish set me up for my ver hot business meeting! Thank you again everyone at the Ethos. Peter Sissons
