“In my opinion, this could be a practical choice if you plan to visit Oxford, with its position close to the city center and the O2 Academy. I noted the inclusion of free parking and WiFi, which is a plus, but be aware that some rooms are considered subpar. I also discovered that added safety features are in place.”
