You can tell they take pride in their hotel - it shows in the little details, the free drink at the bar on arrival, plenty of tea and coffee in the room, biscuits, shower gel and shampoo, etc etc. The room I had had en-suite with heated floor and there was also a little kitchenette with a sink, fridge and microwave. Bed was super comfy too. The only problem was that the TV didn't work, and when I reported it the hotel staff said they thought it was a general problem in the area. Which is fine, but there didn't seem to be too much interest in fixing or alleviating the problem. A small hiccup in an otherwise perfect stay.

Excellent find

The hotel is ideally placed for a stay in Oxford. The rooms are stylishly furnished and really comfortable. The staff are brilliant and quick to resolve any queries. Thanks to all the staff but especially Cara, Ricardo and Aaron. Will definitely return and would highly recommend a stay here.

Not a hotel

This was without doubt one of worst value rooms I have ever booked - over £200 per night for a room in a house with a door and window onto a back street pavement. Completley fooled by the web site and phography on web site very decieving.

Over my expectations

Just came back from 3 days at Ethos. I have enjoyed my stay and definitely will come back. The room is nice and clean and the street is quiet. Not too far from the center, girl in reception was very kind and helpful.

Close to centre of Oxford

This hotel is not the norm, the rooms open straight onto the street however that is not a down side. The location is fantastic, very close to the centre of Oxford so you are able to walk into the town easily. The rooms are very confortable and location extremely quiet so able to have a good sleep. The current breakfast link to a cafe close by is fantastic, the food was great and a wide choice. Would definitely go back.
