Ali Inn Oxford

The room has a very home feeling. It feels more like being at a house than hotel so felt at home in that respect. The shower looked pretty fancy.

The TV had no signal for any channels to be watched. The heater couldn’t turn on. The biscuits provided were past its sell by date.

Has been redone. New paint, bathroom, trim and soon new windows.

We booked it as Star Bed and Breakfast, but when we got there, they insisted that it was a guesthouse so a bit disappointed in that. Also, we needed to change our arrival date. We did eventually get a one day refund, after many expensive phone calls.

Very conveniently located for the Gloucester Green bus station. Friendly staff.

The location is exceedingly noisy. There was no face washer or bath mat, just a single towel. The shower drained only on the lowest water spray. The toilet was not thoroughly cleaned. The price was high for the quality of the accommodation.

Convenient to conference location

Bathrooms were not designed well no place to put your toiletries. No mirror in good location. Hooks on wall were broken No attached restaurant or cafe No options for breakfastNo one at the front desk most of the timeDid not feel very safe if traveling solo.

Clean roomClose to the training station

Bad and uncomfortable bath Small room There are no enough power sockets

The room was reasonably spacious and location while in a dodgy alley, is central.

I found bed bugs on the bed and the property didn’t get me a new room (apparently they were full), tried to gaslight me saying they didn’t receive any previous complaints. Also, there was no one at the front desk, the entire conversation was over the phone. After we left past midnight, they also refused to refund us and when I messaged them asking, they ignored me.

Its location was great! And it was clean.

The pictures chosen for the website were of one room but did not represent the two rooms me and the couple I traveled with had. The carpet was horrible, the space was tiny, and the noise outside was notable all throughout the night.

I could not gain access. No person answered the number in the front door, no one answered when ringing the door bell. Booking.com called the front desk and no one answered, and I was standing outside, hearing the phone go unanswered. So then I had to wait 45 minutes to rebook a room elsewhere per Booking.com to allow the location to answer their email back. When they did not answer the door, bell or phone, there should not have been a waiting period following an email…which was not answered.

Terrible set up. Could not gain access to the code for the door key…neither could Booking.com agent.

Large bathroom with a big shower. Large tv and a nice big room. Staff are very helpful and nice.

There is a good deal of noise due to being near a market and other facilities.

The whole hotel had a rotten smell, especially the room. There was a mouldy vase on the desk. There was no warm water while showering; it was either freezing or very hot.

Bed was comfy.

Tv didn’t work, shared kitchen and bathroom wasn’t amazing. Graffiti on the windowsill and frame as well on chest of drawers. The door lock was really awkward to unlock and lock. For the price, it wasn’t bad just expected a little more.

Location perfect

The bathroom had mold in it, which gave it a smell so vile that it made us gag. It was truly horrible. You had to breath through your mouth while using the bathroom to keep from vomiting. Literally.

not able to sleep all night. workers right outside the hotel from after 11pm to 5 in the morning. shouting to each other

shower floor unclean. No TV signal. room smelt damp.

Size of the room was very good and the location it’s amazing for everything would want to do in Oxford.

The tenants of the room below our room started playing bet loud music at 3:05 am, we attempted to call the front desk which was unmanned. We knocked the door but no answer. The music did not turn off till 7:00 am. I have to say I have been put off Irish folk music for life.

Pretty basic stay but in central location, very close to amenities and the train station. The downside is noise, the area is quite lively at night and equally noisy early in the morning with delivery and bin collection vehicles. The property has single glazing widows which makes it worse. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The carpet was stained, the square toilet seat on a round basin, ceiling flaking off. I found it expensive for the accommodation offered, £130/night April 2025.

Clean and comfortable

Staff is friendly, professional, and helpful

Location to Oxford’s city center. Very convenient.

The overnight noise. Located by a treater’s stage door entrance, trucks would load and offload equipment in the late hours. Very noisy 3 of the 4 evenings of my stay.

I survived the night

The stench in the hallways will stay with me. I've never smelt what I can only describe as the pure smell of human decay and sweat. The person who met me when I arrived also had dirt caked around their hands so I expect was the source. Also, rooms loud, shower and toilet leaking, and mould/damp in the bathroom.

Great location and comfortable bed

Due to central location, it was a bit nosy as the sound proofing from the windows was poor

The central location is convient, but was in room 2 directly opposite the pub! Because it was noisy till 2Am Friday night didn’t get much sleep

The tv kept turning itself off was so frustrating not having a tv that worked properly in 2025,The shower room Door had no lock on it ! I had a shower couldn’t turn it off , had to find a cleaner lad to do it for me, after my partner also tried to do it but couldn’t , when we flushed the toilet it took ages to fill up also was very very loud !so had to not flush it all night which was gross ! We couldn’t open the window because it felt as if it was stuck so was deprived the fresh air the room needed we was worried it would fall out ! The noise from the people walking about upstairs was very loud to! Think the basic maintenance in the Ali inn, needs to be much much better !!! Even for a budget room of £70 a night ! I still except basic things to be working with proper maintenance being carried out on a regular basis
