hehe thats where i booked in !

end of the day I am there one night purely to kip. I rarely have breakfast at ANY hotel or b&b so who cares!

my rule is if at least one person said it was nice/okay/tolerable then it cant be that bad. I have stayed at numerous places where many people slagged it off and have always been pleasantly surprised.

I just booked my place for the event, now I just have to decide whether I can handle the Nanford, or whether I need to look for a different hotel....

All I can say is you're braver people than I would be.

I've just booked in for two nights, for RV!

I love some of the comments though

We have stayed at the hotel at least three times now! Why? Because it`s so funny!!!!! It`s so bad, we can`t help but go back to see all the improvements!!!

I brought a group of students (:twisted:) to this place, and we were all shocked by it's terrible condition

Returned home to see BBC consumer program vote it the 2nd worst hotel in UK.How do they get away with it? Why are they allowed to get away with it? GO THERE AT YOUR PERIL

I stayed there last time, and apart from the zombie landlord and the window which wouldn't latch shut and the wobbling toilet and and and...

It did the job. It was cheap, it's walking distance from t'pub, and it does offer a high entertainment value

It is marginally worse than the London Russian hotel (don't ask), admittedly

Hehe... Multiple reviews there refer to the similarity between the staff and The League of Gentlemen.

Mind you, according to that site's ratings there appear to be five other Oxford hotels that are worse.

What did you like best about the accommodation? Leaving
What did you like least about the accommodation? The stench, decay and filth.
Any tips/secrets for future travellers? Avoid like plague and AIDS ridden monkeys which also have ebola and smallpox.

Ideal, I would think, for those who want the Fawlty experience.

Given my ticket to a friend of mine, Rob, so hope you all make him feel welcome. btm he isn't on YakYak (AOL ISP so can't join) but can be found on IRC as Scroll_Machine.

I haven't spilled the dirt on any of you yet so should be fine haha

Ahhh, if that's true and if the students in question are not Oxford Uni students I certainly wouldn't book in there

Now that's an experience in itself

If Mr Creepy shouted and had a wife it'd be Fawlty Towers.

Build up your immune system now.

Can't see why he had a problem. My sister's on AOL and she joined.
