Remont Oxford Hotel
We truly enjoyed our stay!The hotel's location is quite convenient: a 40-minute walk to the city center, but you can also take the bus, which stops right outside the hotel. The breakfast is beyond praise, fresh and delicious. The room and bathroom are beautifully renovated, and the bed was very comfortable. ...
