It's a great location right in the centre of Oxford. But this also means it's very noisy. Had to have the window open after a hot day, but there was noise from the nearby pubs until 2am, and noise from the loud AC unit in the building across the road.

Ali Inn in Oxford
Room was clean and comfortable. Typical 3-star accommodation, and Abdul, the manager, was a helpful and courteous host. Best part was that Ali Inn is in the heart of Oxford, close to bars, restaurants and all attractions. Highly recommended for value-for-money and convenience.

Be wary - use as last resort.
Got bite marks all over me, bed felt like cardboard and used towels still hung on the back of my door when I entered the room.

The room had not been cleaned. It’s an old property with no double glazing and opposite a pub and next to a theatre so it was very noisy all night. The tv has not been working for a long time - maybe years looking at other reviews.No Wi-Fi too. Very poor effort for such a great location.

Good Location
The receptionist was nice and the location is very good but the wifi did not work. The main issue was that my room and the bathroom were not very clean. The bathroom also had a strong odour so I needed to keep the bathroom door closed as it made me feel sick.

Absolutely disgraceful to list rooms at this property as £138 pounds per night for a double. The entrance looked like the back of a restaurant, manager on front desk gave poor greeting and just gave us a key no other information. Room was filthy, dust everywhere, dirty teacups, hair on linen. The fan was caked in dust. The bathroom had black mould, faeces in the toilet and all over toilet brush. Spoke to manager who said he had a cleaner clean it! He offered a second room, we accepted as didn’t want to ruin our trip but after 5 minutes in room it was only slightly better. Broken toilet seat, dirty fan, window wouldn’t open, smears on glass and dirty water in tooth brush holder..faeces in toilet and in brush. Stains on mattress absolutely gross. We decided despite it ruining our evening and trip we couldn’t stay. Went to speak to manager no staff anywhere to be found. Left key at front desk and text manager on number we had. No reply to request for refund no reply at all. Great location, good pictures on Expedia but don’t be fooled this is false this was worse then a hostel and absolutely filthy how they can get away with charging £140 for this is disgraceful. Awful customer service. Avoid at all costs!

Ali Inn - pluses and minuses.
The directions to the hotel sent me all over Oxford where even the natives couldn’t point out the inn - or had ever heard of it. When the description says the hotel has TV, they mean that literally - there is a TV, but it has no channels and when I asked why it won’t work, the answer was “the rain.” The towel warmer in the bathroom also didn’t work. I am traveling for 3 months, and being able to dry a bit of laundry becomes important. The room was cleaned once during a 4-night stay. On the plus side, the man at reception carried my heavy suitcase up and down the stairs, something I would have had trouble with on my own. Another plus- it’s perfectly located.

Massive building works around property at the moment. Room cleanliness way below par - mold and dirty shower. Carpet poorly vacuumed and sheet stains. Towels old and ragged. Very budget hostel like accommodation for not hostel prices

Don’t recommend it
The room and bathroom was not cleaned properly. The bathroom was covered in dust, no face towel provided. The carpet in the room had long hair spread out in the room, was just not a nice clean environment to be in.

Truly awful hotel!
We arrived late so had clear instructions how to open key box which was fine. As soon as you step in and make your way to your room you are greeted by a plumber in limescale ridden sink which probably belongs to the room on the ground floor. The stairs really needed some TLC, marks all up the walls with dirty carpet. When we reached our room and went in, there was so many different patches on the wall from plaster falling off it was horrible. 4 raw plugs in the wall whilst the mirror was just leant against the wall. TV hanging with a broken aieral. After seeing the sink downstairs I guessed what the bathroom would be like and I was correct, limescale all around the plug and mould in the shower. Shower head fitting was broken so I couldn’t adjust the height, drainage not the best as it slowly filled up mid shower. Wet mud splash marks up the back off the door. Also the windows were single glazed so we was awoken by someone throwing up at 3am and then road works beginning at 8. I would’ve thought on the 3rd floor you shouldn’t be hearing these things. Silver lining was we only had 1 night here, went to the George Oxford hotel after. Was 10 times better!
