It was in a unique part of Oxford, convenient to walk to many of the things we wanted to see and do, clean, friendly, comfortable, wonderful hot breakfast included. We really enjoyed our stay and it was a perfect kick off for our long awaited UK holiday

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.

Our family of 4 stayed at this quaint hotel just outside of downtown Oxford for a night. Rooms were clean and modern and we had dinner and breakfast in the cafe downstairs. The cafe offered excellent food and staff were very professional and friendly. Highly recommended if you want a quite place within walking distance (15 minutes) from the city center.

Staff was exceptionally helpful friendly and accommodating, with Busna and Sam ranking among the best we’ve ever encountered in decades of travel! The hotel was also quite close to Oxford City Centre and the University, so everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. We will definitely be recommending Ethos to our friends and returning in our next trip to England!

We arrived before our scheduled check-in and were able to park in front of the hotel. We left the car and set out to explore Oxford on foot. Good location for us. Room was on the small side but the bed was comfortable. Overall, the room was nice. Staff were helpful. Food at the cafe was very good.
