Loved by Ethos Hotel - Oxford City guests
"The room not only has a/c but also plenty of coffee/tea/hot chocolate etc, as well as fridge containing fresh milk."
"They had a small 'dresser' in the café/bar whereby if you are a staying guest you can help yourself to free snacks/nibbles/chocolates."
"The availability of a car park was a huge bonus."
The 4-star Ethos Hotel Oxford provides guests with a quiet location only 5 minutes' walk from the stone Folly Bridge as well as a banquet hall and event rooms, ideal for bringing people together. This Oxford hotel features Wi-Fi throughout the property and a private parking lot on site.
Location
The hotel is a mere 1.5 km from the Sheldonian Theatre and within a few blocks of Whitehouse Road bus stop. The Ethos Oxford gives access to the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, which is 18 minutes' walk away.
The accommodation also lies near a river, and the Pitt Rivers Oxford University Museum of Natural History is merely 1.9 km away. No matter the religion, travellers prefer to visit the Anglican church "St Michael at the North Gate", a popular place of worship located about 10 minutes' drive from this boutique-style hotel.
Ethos Hotel is centrally situated 2.4 km from Oxford train station.
Rooms
The rooms at the property include an iron and ironing board. Some of them comprise a seating area and a dining area, furnished with a writing table. Also, there is a laptop-compatible safe, coffee/tea making machines provided. Bathrooms are equipped with a separate toilet and a shower, as well as comforts such as hair dryers and complimentary toiletries.
Eat & Drink
The Ethos invites guests to have a drink at a lounge bar. This hotel is a few moments from The Folly Restaurant and offers a broad selection of meals.
Leisure & Business
Spa therapy and a shared lounge are some of the leisure options at the hotel. There is a health club at the Ethos. You can also benefit from 2 meeting rooms featuring a laptop safe and a xerox.
“I think the strongest advantage here lies in the combination of practical amenities with a welcoming atmosphere. The inclusion of kitchen facilities in the rooms enhances the flexibility for guests, while the complimentary snacks and drinks show a thoughtfulness often absent in similar establishments. Its location strikes a balance, providing both accessibility to Oxford and a more relaxed, residential feel.”

The location is within walking distance of the town. nearby restaurants are convenient. the breakfast choice was good. the room was nice and clean. i could hear ladies talking on the other side of the interconnecting room. I had not asked for this.
the door handle was not fixed properly and there were a few signs of wear on the bathroom shower fitting. the mastic needed some attention.
