Clean, spacious and functional rooms in great location. Parking is extra and would of been helpful to know in advance where to park as street parking can get you a ticket..

The bed sheets are stained with shoe marks and very dirty; the room has a moldy smell; there is no dedicated storage area; the service is just average. The environment is terrible, and I have suffered from dizziness and vomiting.

This was a great hotel. The room and bed were huge. Everything was spotless. We travelled by public transport and the hotel was about a 20 minute walk from the station. Although the hotel is not right in the centre, it is only a few minutes from the Head of the River pub and 10 minutes from the Westgate centre. The area is beautiful and very quiet

Friendly, helpful team. Good facilities, comfy bed. Got in late and not clear how to warm room up. It did have aircon and radiators.

Very clean. Good, quiet location and easy access to the centre of Oxford. We used the park and ride at Redbridge which made it easy to get to the hotel in less than 15 minutes. We found it lacking in useful information on how to use the heating for the living area of the property, The bedroom heating was ok

Ethos Hotel is located in a residential area about a 15-minute walk to Oxford's city center. We enjoyed the quieter surroundings and the historic neighborhood, which also was a short walk from the Thames River and its long walking paths. The hotel is located in three historic buildings from 1888 that have been renovated. The caffe is in the center building and also serves as the reception area. We found the staff to be very friendly, accommodating and responsive. The breakfast, included in our stay, was comprehensive and varied; snacks were available in the caffe, which had long hours and also served the local neighborhood: a fact that we enjoyed. We felt more integrated in the town and less "touristy." One word of caution, the original buildings are old, do not have elevators, and the staircases are narrow. Large and/or heavy suitcases can be a challenge; but we felt that the location and hotel were worth the small inconveniences of staying in an historic and "vintage" space.

We arrived at midday & our room & parking space was available at no extra cost which was greatly appreciated. A very short walk took us into the Centre. The room was lovely, bed extra comfortable so had a great night sleep following a busy sightseeing afternoon & evening. We ate at The Cafe both in the evening & again for breakfast (a full & delicious English). Will definitely stay here again when visiting Oxford.

There was a spiderweb over the light in the ceiling that had been there a while. and the room was not clean. Thankfully, The bathroom was clean. The room smelled of old cigarette smoke. The hotel had seen better days. Looked adorable online but that was deceiving. The cafe was nice and the staff was nice. The hall carpet had not been vacuumed in a while. NEEDS a thorough cleaning. The reviews said clean but it was not.

Just a one night stay but it was quite nice. Had a nice breakfast in the cafe that morning. It was bustling and lively :)

Air conditioning was quiet and effective. There are significant somewhat narrow steps to navigate to get to second floor rooms. Nice breakfast and very helpful staff

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.

5.0 / 10.0

Small and friendly hotel, close to Folly bridge and easily walkable to the centre and university areas. Room was clean and comfortable but only one USB port on a table lamp which was slow charging. Cafe was very good and breakfast was lovely.

Shower was broken. Reported it to the staff. Staff was wonderful.

10.0 / 10.0

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!

10.0 / 10.0

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

Ethos hotel was okay. It had what we needed. The room was super dusty with spider webs, and had a musty smell. But I find that to be pretty typical in the older buildings in England. The bed was large and comfortable. The shower head didn’t work properly when we arrived, but they came in and replaced it immediately. The cafe in the lobby was great!! The staff was helpful and courteous. Overall we enjoyed our stay! About 20 minute walk to Oxford train station. Bus stops located nearby. Location was mostly quiet and easy to get to city center.

10.0 / 10.0

A great find in Oxford. Well appointed, comfortable rooms with a good breakfast and even free snacks. Friendly staff. I’d definitely stay here in future visits to Oxford. It’s a good walk from the train station but doable, a ten minute walk to city centre.

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.

Lovely staff. Very accommodating. Room was slightly dated and could use more attention to detail in cleaning but was nice overall. The tv turned on by itself so we had to unplug it. The blankets were very thin so we were a bit chilly at night. Overall it was nice and I’d recommend if you’re looking for something simple and reliable.

Lady at front desk was extremely helpful…she made us feel extremely welcome and assisted us all the way. The location was perfect, only 10 minute walk to the centre of town. Only issue was we had to wait around 50 mins for breakfast because it was so busy, maybe extra help in the kitchen would of helped

3.0 / 10.0

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.

Amazing stay at this comfortable and cosy hotel. Our room was great! Had its own fridge and complimentary drinks. Shower was warm. Beds comfy. Large wardrobe space. Breakfast was delicious and plenty to chose from. Coffee… gooood. could have stayed a week! But our magical mystery tour continues

6.0 / 10.0

The parking conditions are terrible. They have less places than rooms and parking is not allowed within several miles around the hotel. If you arrive by car, I can´t recommend staying at this hotel. We had booked it because of the available parking places but at arrival there were none. We kept looking for two hours but couldn´t get any available parking space except those far away. The food is below average - a choice between nutella, jam, butter, toast, industrial croissants and the standard Kelloggs-Cereal range as well as sweet yoghurt-like creams. Good coffee is an extra, as well as add-ons like eggs. The location is good and the room itself was good. The bathtub didn´t work properly, the water stayed, the window shutters don´t close properly so it´s relatively bright at night - if you can´t sleep well when it isn´t dark, don´t come here. My next stay in Oxford will not be here. It´s ok without a car and if you find your breakfast somewhere else.
