Location on good bus route. Parking good. Shower had mold and stove hood had dripping grease. No shampoo or soap in shower. No ice cube trays. No towels in downstairs bath room. Towels rack loose. Adequate value.

Fab apartment!
I stayed here for 5 nights whilst working for Oxford. There is free parking which was handy as Oxford parking fees are really expensive! The flat itself was very nice, spacious, and clean. The kitchen had everything you will need for cooking. The staff have been really helpful as well and very quick to respond to queries.

He flat was clean, tidy and close enough to Oxford centre and the motorway. I locked myself out of the flat and they had it sorted straight away. Very efficient. Would stay here again. Also had secure parking with plenty of spaces

Loved oxford, however, this property too far out of the town to enjoy any night life or eating out. once booking paid for there were many hoops to jump thru to secure the property so $ not be lost. Very minimal info once in the property. Good luck with the TV and closing the bifold doors!

Dear William, Many thanks for taking the time to complete a review following your stay with us. We were sorry to hear that some aspects of the apartment did not meet your expectations. Had you have let us know about some of the difficulties you were having either on our email address or on our customer helpline, we may have been able to resolve these issues during your stay. We were sorry to hear that you found our onboarding process difficult, we have put this process in place as we operate on a self check in basis, therefore obtaining information about the guests that stay with us is important for the safety of other guests and to prevent fraud. However, if any guest ever has an issue with completing the process we encourage them to discuss this with us and come to an agreeable arrangement. At Platinum Pillows it is our priority to offer a modern and comfortable apartment that feels like a home from home. We do our very best to ensure that every guest has an enjoyable stay with us, so we can only apologise that, on this occasion, this has not been the case. Many thanks again for the feedback. With Kind Regards, Platinum Pillows Team

Kitchen was well-equipped, soap and shampoo were provided, beds and bedding were very comfortable. There was a bus stop very close by and a convenience store next door that was open late. Security code for the outer building door and a parking spot provided for each apartment were great. Extra trash bags and toilet paper for longer stays would have been nice, as well as a trash can in the upstairs bathroom.

Noise
Pricing at booking was not transparent. Property condition was not 4* as advertised. But by far the biggest issue was the level of noise from upstairs around the clock and also from vehicles outside - didn’t get much sleep for 4 nights and really this ruined our trip

Dear Michael, Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback following your stay with us. We are constantly striving to improve our service to guests, so this is always appreciated. We were very sorry to hear that you experienced some issues with noise during your stay. You did let us know about the issue a few days into your stay and we were able to contact the fellow guests that were causing some of the noise issues, as they had young children. Unfortunately we were unable to rectify the noise issues from external vehicles, but we are pleased to say that this is quite a rare occurrence at Rana Court. We were also sorry to hear that the apartment did not meet some of your expectations in appearance, we will review your comments with our property team to see where we can improve on this. Thank you again for your feedback, With Kind Regards, Platinum Pillows Team

Unprofessional “greetings”
Make sure when going there to have the wright phone number since the one given is not correct and we had tried to contact them 48hrs in advance. They don’t even have an email adress that gives you a reply. When we finally arrived we met another family standing outside with the same problem, not having a clue whom/what number to call to get instructions to get into the apartments. For some luck another guest staying there helped us and found the right telephone number. We had been standing there for an hour with not even a bench to sit on. Finally when we got hold of them they said they had tried to call me wich is incorrect since I had no missed calls. If you go to Rana Court here is the right number: +44 8452997887

Dear Selja, Our sincere apologies for the telephone number on Expedia being incorrect. We have since reviewed this and have found that it was changed on all of our other properties on Expedia except this one! This has now been resolved. Although our phone numbers appear on all of our guest emails, we now know that none of these were sent through to you from the 3rd party travel agent, this meant that you had very little information before checking in, just to make matters worse. It was a pleasure speaking with you and I sincerely hope that you enjoyed the rest of your stay. We hope to welcome you back to one of our apartments on your next visit to Oxford.

Clean, comfortable and relaxing stay
Nice clean room, spacious and fantastic service, only issue was the cooking equipment was filthy ie the knife’s, chopping board and pots and pans. Luckily we ate out a lot. Other than this issue everything was spot on. Would definitely stay again but maybe contact property management to ensure clean cutlery

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us some valuable feedback following your stay at Rana Court. We are pleased to hear that overall you found the apartment clean, spacious and that we met your expectations with our service. I am extremely concerned to hear that some of the kitchen equipment was not clean. This is something we could have quickly resolved with our cleaning team if you had let us know. We are very sorry to hear that the cleaning we carried out missed these items, this is not the experience we want to offer any guest. We hope that you will chose to return to us should you visit Oxford in the future and we would encourage any guest to use our 24 hour helpline to report any issues immediately, so that we get the chance to resolve them and ensure a great experience when you stay with us.

Yes we would stay again
Our stay was fabulous. A birthday break, hidden in perfect site. The company were amazing and really nice. They were helpful and so so kind. I would/Will be staying again. All I would say is a proper scrub sponge for washing up and a full length mirror is all that's needed. What a perfect place to stay. Thank you very much

Really enjoyed my stay here! The apartment was super cozy and quiet - loved having a kitchen, living room, bedroom, etc. The extra amenities were also nice, such as a smart TV. Did wish they had a few more of the basics (shampoo was missing but soap and condition were provided) but appreciated the extra pillows and blankets! Overall, really liked the area, the property itself, and how easy it was to communicate with the staff.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a great review. We are so pleased to hear that you found our apartment comfortable and that you found the amenities so well appointed. We are glad that you liked the welcome basket that we provide, within the pack is a shampoo/body wash combination product, which perhaps you did not realise. We were also pleased that you found the team easy to communicate with before and during your stay, as this is something we put a lot of thought and effort into to provide a great guest experience. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

El sofá-cama es muy estrecho
El apartamento está muy bien. El principal inconveniente es que no es para cuatro personas. El sofa cama es excesivemente pequeño. Puede valer para dos niños pequeños, pero no para dos que superen los diez años. Cama de matrimonio excelente. Muy buena opción para visitar oxford (aunque no es céntrico) y, sobre todo, la región, el parking va muy bien.

Dear Augusti, Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review following your stay. We were delighted to read the many positive comments that you made about the apartment and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for your feedback about the sofa bed, we were sorry to hear that it did not meet your expectations in terms of size. We do have many options in Oxford with over 30 apartments, including 2 and 3 bedroom options, which may have been more suitable. We sincerely hope that on your next visit to Oxford you return to us and perhaps we can select a different option for you, with that in mind. With Kind Regards, Platinum Pillows Team
