Customer feedback

We guarantee that all our feedback is genuine and can only be submitted by people who have booked through our websites.

, October 2011: Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The manager was very friendly and approachable with all sorts of questions.

, September 2011: It was very nice experience while staying at Merifield residence. The Manager of the premises was very friendly and co-operative. The premises is situated very close to shopping and recreational area. Transportation is available all the time. The atmosphere is very peaceful for study and examination preparation.

, September 2011: I spent a week at the end of August, while the students were away. The place was quiet. The room was very spacious and clean. Kitchen had everything you need. In short, excellent accomodation.

, August 2011: Lindsey was an outstanding manager in every respect: efficient, welcoming, helpful beyond the call of duty, made himself available, pleasant to deal with. We would certainly come again.

, August 2011: A great place to stay as not too far from City centre and lovely staff.

, July 2011: About 15 mins walk to the city center, great location for travellers, very clean room with good service!

, July 2011: It's a fantastic place to stay, strongly recommended

, December 2010: Most enjoyable. My only quibble being that the very warm weather at the time did make the room a little stuffy. The site manager was most courteous and, although obviously very busy, extremely helpful. I highly recommend the Merifield Annex and would happily stay again.

, September 2010: It was a good location and easy to find. The onsite manager was very pleasant.

, September 2010: I had a very pleasant stay for a fortnight and the staff looked after me very well.

, September 2010: Fantastic accommodation. By far the nicest university rooms I've stayed in anywhere in the UK. The free wireless internet and included breakfast are nice touches. Only downside is that your experience depends somewhat on who you share the flat with. The first 2 days of my stay were great, the third day, there was clearly someone with lower levels of hygiene! Still, for the cost I think it's worth it - and maybe just mention on check in that you'd like a quiet room or something. If you were making a group booking for the whole flat, then it would be ideal.

, September 2010: Great service absoluately valuable for money

, September 2010: Sometimes not enough cereal or coffee left out for breakfast. However, the manager was otherwise excellent and attentive, and the accommodations convenient and excellent value

, September 2010: Very good, thank You!

, September 2010: Very friendly manager! Thanks for a great stay

, September 2010: Thank you so much for very great accommodation! I would be happy to book a room at Merifield Annex in future.

, September 2010: Room was clean, bright and tidy. Thank you for the enjoyable stay.

, August 2010: For the price it was well worth it. Clean pleasant room. Same for the kitchen and bathroom facilities.

, August 2010: Very pleased with accommodation, very good value for the price. Perhaps a little more choice for breakfast?

, August 2010: I now stay regularly at Merifield annrx. It is always clean & tidy with friendly, helpful staff. Cable internet connection always works well. Extremely good value for money.

, August 2010: This college offer by far the greatest university accommodation I've seen so far, and, to be honest, it's much better than many hotels in Britain/Ireland which were considerably more expensive. No bad surprises, all was really clean, internet free, towels provided, huge kitchen with cooking facilities. All in all, very nice experience! I would definitely recommend it!

, July 2010: Good, clean, comfortable and affordable accommodation.

, July 2010: Very good exoerience

, 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.

, 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

, 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

, 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.

, 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.

, July 2010: A very pleasant stay. Only a very picky person would list faults.

, 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!

, 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.

, 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.
