The location is superb for a researcher as it is right in front of the Bodleian Library and close to Colleges. However, there is nothing else recommendable. The room I stayed was very small and I had a sudden blackout the instant I switched on the bathroom light -- a pleasant girl came to change the light bulb, but we (my friend who was in a larger room) thought it mysterious that the hotel was rated four stars, but perhaps that's English standard.
