David Strudwick, July 2010: Many thanks for looking after me during my short stay. You have very pleasant rooms and the other guests and students were very helpful. (I do like the self-catering, continental option...plenty of breakfast...have what you like...very good!) Would love to come again soon...many thanks.
Dave Strudwick.
Sarah Jackman, July 2010: Lovely nice, clean rooms, bathroom and kitchen with towels and sheets provided. Breakfast basic but just what I wanted and all in the flat. Couldn't pick up a wireless signal but didn't enquire as wasn't there enough to use, so may just have been my settings. A good distance from the centre, 30 min walk or buses every few mins, and a good range of shops, pub and restaurants around the corner. Would definately stay again. Thanks
Phil Mann, July 2010: Breakfast was a very pleasant surprise as I had thought it was just a room. The room and facilities themselves were excellent as well.
I would suggest extending "check-out" time to 11 though which seems more in line with Hotel standard practice
Ivan Avila de Oliveira, July 2010: Merifield Annex was one of the best places I stayed over the years. Located in a quiet place it should be tried by anyone looking for a restful time in Oxford City.
Helei Fu, July 2010: I had a good stay at Merifield Annex. The only regret is that there is no direct bus from the rail station to the accommodation. I had to walk a long way to get on a bus in the city center and the bus driver could not tell where I should get off (I think you can take bus #7 and get off at Someset Shops stop). Anyway, this is a quiet and safe place. I believe I will choose to stay here again if I come to Oxford.
Brian Moore, July 2010: A very pleasant stay. Only a very picky person would list faults.
John Swinbank, July 2010: Unfortunately, the wireless network didn't work well. Otherwise, price and location were excellent, and the other facilities available perfectly reasonable. Friendly welcome!
Terry Stickland, July 2010: Very friendly, helpful and competent management, only grumble was no bin in own room. Breakfast provisions (cornflakes, fresh milk) were much appreciated, though microwave oven and/or pots and pans for heating food would have been an advantage, particularly as all the necessary kitchen facilities were otherwise available.
Mrs Pauline Wilson, July 2010: Very clean and spacious. There were 2 showers and 2 toilets between 5 single bedrooms so wasn't queing. Kitchen fully equipped. People very friendly and helpful. Most impressed.
