    One of the curtains was broken.

    Great location, nice looking and spacious room with a nice bathroom. Check-in was complicated by a delayed return of the previous guest but was nicely handled by staff.

    The coffee maker didn't work and it leaked water everywhere. The high chairs were very uncomfortable; ordinary chairs would have been much better.

    The bed was very comfortable and the room was well equipped in general. It was very clean and the shower was very good.

    Great location for bars, shopping, theatre, easy self check in/out. Clean and tidy room with character. We stayed on a Saturday night so it was a little noisy still when we went to bed but I sleep with ear plugs so didn't bother me.

    I couldn't figure out how to close the little window in the shower which was not an issue for privacy, but the air was a bit bracing first thing in the morning while showering.

    The location of Henry's cannot be beaten. It is on a quiet street but right in the middle of everything in Oxford. I was attending a summit at the university and it was the perfect place for my stay. It was like having a little apartment with everything I needed and extremely well located for a quick walk to everywhere I needed to go. When other people were taking ubers in from their hotel I could just run back to the room for a few minutes during breaks throughout the day. Also, breakfast and brunch at the Handle Bar next door was incredible. Go early before the lines start.

    As a solo traveller would've appreciated further door security; a safety chain would be great. A couple of mugs please as tea cups very small.

    Brilliant location for sightseeing, shopping vicinity to the train station and extremely clean. Apartment very comfortable, especially the king size bed. Large bathroom with powerful shower.

    Only minor things like one of the bedside plugs didn’t work and the shower drain needs to be cleared as the tray filled and flooded the floor in the bathroom within the first 5 minutes of your shower. My partner also was kept up until 1:30am with music from the place above the handle bar, but I’m not sure what you’d have been able to do about that.

    The property was beautiful and amazingly located! Really lovely place that we would definitely return too! Great decor, lovely layout and really nicely thought out.

    The bed was seriously hard. Actually, I wonder if the mattress had been replaced by a topper - and the fitted sheet was wrapped round the topper and not fitted at all, so the bottom of the bed was exposed. The super shower was spoilt by a kak-handed repair round the base using the wrong materials.

    The location was perfect, as we were involved in activities at a college five minutes' walk. We loved the bathroom too, and the teeny kitchen, though it did not meet the spec. suggested - e.g. fridge? No, it was a wine cooler! Nespresso coffee maker? No coffee - and it was a Lavazza. The design of the whole interior of this teeny building was cleverly thought through. Also, like others before us, we found the peace and quiet to be amazing for the centre of Oxford - although as St Michael's Street was blocked off due to roadworks, perhaps this was just valid for now.

    Would benefit from better lighting on the lower stairwell. The beams and ceiling fans were attractive but very dusty. Whoever switches the fan on first will be showered with dust. Would be worth addressing every couple of months. Otherwise the apartment was very clean.

    Location is amazing and self check in straightforward. The apartment was warm and had all that was needed for a two night stay. Generally clean and comfortable. Would stay again.

    On initial looks room was fantastic, but on closer inspection some things are getting a bit tired. Mattress needs replacing. It had a quite hard topper over a mattress which was hanging off the sides Coffee machine on counter top but no pods to use with it. Only one milk pot for tea. Second night the people upstairs were walking about at 5 in morning and could here every footstep and doors closing so didn't sleep well.

    Property is right in the centre of Oxford, the perfect location. Short walk to most attractions and train station. Property was clean and tidy apart from few cobwebs in the ceiling.

    Please provide a tea-towel or kitchen paper. Seems pointless to have a sink and washing up liquid with no means of drying. There were no pods for the coffee maker. Pods are bad for the environment anyway, so a cafetière and small amount of ground coffee would be better. :)

    Fab location. The design is really nice and it was comfortable and warm. Comfy bed and pillows. Ample space for two people. Very clean. Great shower. The guys in the bike shop downstairs are really cool and friendly.

    The location next to a bike shop also had a bar that played host to live bands on Friday and Saturday nights that reverberated the accommodation until 10:30pm. Also, there was no hand soap in the shower room

    The cleanliness let the lovely property down. The bed linen was crisp and clean as were the towels but not sure how much cleaning was actually done. There was a blouse left hanging in the wardrobe. Food and drink left in the wine cooler. The tea cups were really grubby (one had an aged huge crack through it - I put it in the bin). I found an old lipstick under the table and lots of crumbs. Shame because the accommodation was basically lovely

    Fabulous location. Really comfortable bed. Nice sizeable towels

    Housekeeping could have been better, all cups were unwashed and left under the sink, fridge contained opened yogurt, mild and cheese left by previous visitor. We stayed on the second floor but there was no mention of the very steep staircase to access the room.

    Excellent central position, close to park and ride bus stop and several restaurants
