Comfortable Stay but Lacking Winter Warmth

We arrived early to park, and while the staff member seemed unsure at first, they were ultimately very helpful and allowed us to check in early. The room met expectations, but we weren’t shown how to use the air conditioning. Returning at 11 pm, we found the room exceptionally cold and couldn’t get the heating to work. The bed had only a sheet and two blankets, making for an uncomfortable winter night. The shower was warm rather than hot on two occasions, though the sink tap provided hot water. Breakfast was well managed despite peak-time crowds, with the sole staff member handling service impressively. The filter coffee was good, though the milk had small floating bits. The menu breakfast was excellent. At checkout, I mentioned the heating issue and was told we needed to activate the heating function—something I’d recommend staff explain to guests upon arrival. I also suggested offering duvets in winter rather than requiring guests to request them. The hotel assured me they’d look into the shower temperature. Overall, Ethos Hotel is a clean, safe, and budget-friendly option close to the city centre. However, if visiting in winter, I recommend confirming how the heating works and requesting extra bedding upfront.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very clean comfortable room and ensuite. Very quiet despite location in a busy suburban street. Positives include: kettle and variety of hot drinks available in room. Very comfortable bed, plenty of spare pillows and, thankfully, spare duvet, as the room was quite cool. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space, although not needed by us as we were only staying one night. The continental breakfast in the cafe was varied and plentiful, and included porridge, pancakes and toast if wanted. All the staff we met from checking in, and at breakfast were so friendly,cheery and helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and we were able to leave our car in the car park beyond check out time, to enable us a couple of hours sightseeing before travelling home. Would definitely stay again next time in Oxford. Thank you for a lovely visit.

DO NOT BOOK HERE. This is one step up from a hostel, other than the food. Photos do NOT reflect what you get!! I booked a Delux Quadruple that was advertised as spacious. I got a ground floor room that stepped immediately onto the sidewalk with two beds, NO DRAWERS AND THE CLOSETS WERE STUFFED WITH SHEETS AND COMFORTERS. I discussed the discrepancies with the front desk person and her reply was, yes the photos are misleading on Expedia, but then I showed her the same photos on there website - no comment. When I asked about why I was paying the same amount for a cramped room the reply was “That is what you get today for that charge, the charges change daily” This is a place that misleads you and smiles while doing it. Three other guests were making the same comments as they had nowhere to place their luggage in their room as the beds left no space around them. BOOK HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
