    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.

    One of the curtains was broken.

    Good: Location. Decor of flat was modern and classic with glass plus exposed bricks with wooden beams. Lots of character.

    Not good: Check-in process was awful. I didn’t get sent check-in details due to their IT system failing (codes for outdoor key locks and internal door codes). This is even after calling them to tell this in the morning and afternoon of arrival. By the evening I still didn’t have the codes sent and only got everything I needed after my third call with them. The sink in the bathroom was unusable because it was blocked. The WiFi was less than 1MB/sec so was unusable. The flat had spider webs and dust more than you’d expect. The bed was pretty uncomfortable. There were gone off food items left behind in the fridge by the previous guest which weren’t cleared away. I didn’t think it was clear it isn’t a hotel and therefore doesn’t have a reception, luggage storage, or daily maids to replace sheets / clean the room. I was expecting this.

    Great location on quiet street in central Oxford. Property has been nicely renovated. Trash was emptied whilst and bath mat replaced during my stay which was nice.

    Could do with better cleaning and upkeep. The blind was broken and permanently down. The sprung divan bed base had no mattress just a topper so was very hard (when I enquired I was told the divan base is a mattress which it's obviously not). Beams and bathroom skylight were very dusty. I wasn't happy with the lack of a lock on the inside of the room, especially as the door was just a key code.

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

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

    Location is convenient to get to all the places of interest. Quiet at night. Room is charming. Like the original walls and fireplace.

    Nothing really

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Stylish design. Great location. Quiet.

    Entry details were lost in a very long email. Access codes etc should have been made much clearer prior to arrival rather than getting lost in the less important information in the email. The room was drafty and the left hand blind didn't work. I would also suggest that the area under the stairs should be de-cluttered.

    It is a really quaint and unique room. It has beams.which add character. Lovely small kitchen area, clean spacious bathroom and comfy bed. The location is fantastic - close to shops, restaurants, bars and theatre.

    Nothing - it was great!!

    The shower floor became soaking wet and it was hard to dry. It me of the blinds was also broken, which was a bit tricky.

    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.

    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.

    Too noisy, bad isolation. Didn't receive information before check-in to get my room.

    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.

    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.
