The price/quality ratio of our room (6) is excellent. The place is well located in the city center, not far from any College and the main roads. Also, the owner is nice and friendly. Really a good solution for budget travelers who also don't disdain a comfortable, warm room.

Perfect for budget rravelers

I was skeptical at first due to the poor reviews on this app, but for a relatively affordable hotel, this place is really pleasant! The room is clean and the facilities work well. Bathrooms are my main concern when booking hotels, and Ali Inn did not disappoint. The staff was extremely friendly, however he was manning both the reception and room service alone. I really hope you could get an extra staff to help him out. Lastly, it’s positioned in the central of Oxford, so you can walk literally anywhere and everywhere you please. 

Some cons: coffee stains on the desk, which is fine and understandable. You can hear the steps from the people above and next to your room, but I could still sleep soundly. Because it’s located in a crowded place, it could be noisy for some, but I actually enjoyed the crowd, as I don’t like to be in a too-quiet place.

Definitely staying here again if I ever visit Oxford!

Pleasant place to stay in Oxford

A friend and I had planned to go to Oxford to celebrate Mayday in 2020 but the pandemic meant this didn’t happen. In November 2022 my friend tried to book into the same place but it was full. There weren’t many rooms available and he booked us into the Ali Inn based on the photos. Neither of us read a review until the day before when I did. The majority of the reviews were poor but as we had no choice we arrived not expecting what to find and somewhat concerned. 
However
There was someone to meet us
Our room was clean and tidy. There were sufficient towels, toiletries and tea and coffee. Because of Mayday prices had increased everywhere and the Ali Inn was no different but at £260 for 2 nights wasn’t bad. 
It is a budget hotel. 
It is centrally located which is good. There is noise as there is a pub opposite and the theatre beneath it. 
It is a number of rooms up stairs and adjacent to a sandwich business run by the same people. The owner? Manager? Was very amenable helpful and friendly. 
The room was a good size as was the toilet and shower room. 
Definitely good for budget travellers who don’t mind noise. Ideal location very central and close to the bus station. Clean. Big towels too!
Bed slightly soft and that’s the only slight criticism I have. 

Much better than I thought 

Enjoyed my stay here - room had everything I needed for a comfy stay. Location is great, George St can be a little busy at night but I was well aware of that before visiting so it didn’t bother me. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful, bathroom was really new and I found everything nice and clean. I can’t give it 5* just as opposite my room there was some noise from what sounded like an extraction unit from a building opposite intermittently at night, not the hotels fault though. Would recommend.

Perfect for a couple of nights

The Ali Inn is a good family-run hotel very conveniently located in Oxford.   
   I chose the Ali Inn for its location and price.  I was not disappointed.  I did not expect Ritz accommodations for the price.  The staff were friendly and brought my bags up to my room which was acceptably clean as was the shower.  
   I did not experience the problems of outside noise, but maybe because I stayed on a Monday night on a bank holiday.
  The only minor problems were the steep stairs and the fact that no personnel were present as I exited the next day.  I just dropped my room key into a bowl.  That is not a great inconvenience.  For the price, on a Monday night, this was a good buy.

For the Price

First trip to Oxford and chose Ali Inn as it was near to the coach station and shops/attractions. The reception desk is literally right there as you walk into the entrance, we were given our room and front door keys (as there was not always anyone there on reception) and given the WiFi code. Our landing had very loose creaky floorboards and on first view the room looked OK but as we entered we noticed stains on the unit where the tea/coffee facilities were, thick dust on lampshade, hole in the bottom of the bed, cracked mirror, thick dust in the radiator. Bathroom looked very modern and clean only issue was the water was far too hot in the shower and as much as I fiddled with the settings I couldn't get it any cooler. Didn't get a good night's sleep for the 2 nights we stayed as the pillows were very flat and ended up with neck ache afterwards and the walls are very thin, I could actually hear the occupant/occupants in the next room snoring and the next morning the upstairs room having an argument.To be honest you get what you pay for, it was somewhere to lay our heads after a busy few days but I was pleased when it was time to leave. There was nobody about when we left so dropped the keys in the allocated dish on the desk.

Disappointed

We were looking for a nice place to spend the night in Oxford, nothing too pricey since we would be out most of the day and would only be in the room to sleep. I came across Ali Inn on booking.com and found a couples room with a private bathroom going to a very reasonable price and right in the centre of Oxford! We took a few minutes to find the place (it was our first time in Oxford) and the entry itself was hidden away but once we did find it, we were handed our keys and left to it and weren’t hassled at all. The building itself was cozy and tidy, our room and bathroom also. We are able to come and go as we pleased and felt like we weren’t causing any trouble when making a late night dash to Tesco or coming back with mounds of shopping. My partner is 6’3 so the bed was a bit small for him but I slept fine in it. Upon leaving we had a secure place to leave our room key and check out time is a comfortable 11am. 

They made our first stay in Oxford very comfortable and pleasant. 

First Stay in Oxford 

I booked this as the Sleep Inn so couldn't find it at first as I wasn't looking for the Ali Inn. The interior is very tired and needs a deep clean, but the bed was comfy. 

Good central location, but very noisy due to pub and theatre. A wagon was being loaded right outside my bedroom window between 1am and 3am so I didn't get much sleep. The shower stuck on, but the owner was helpful and sent someone round to turn it off. 

One towel, no bathmat.

Perhaps ok for man on his own, but not great for business travel.

Noisy night in Oxford

The bed was clean and comfortable, thankfully. However the shower room smelled very very strongly of cigarette smoke. The walls and carpet were stained and the room was noisy. Street noise is to be expected in a city centre, but the noise from other visitors using water was much louder than expected.

Positives:
Great location
Comfortable and clean bed
Cheap

Negatives:
Very shabby appearance
Noisy

Comfy bed but shabby room

The Ali Inn, was disappointing. I stayed two nights. There were no communal areas, only the rooms and I found it hard to sleep in my room because of the noise from the refrigerator units opposite and the blinding light through the curtains. The staff were friendly however, but not often on the desk…. 
Parts of the bedroom were clean and the bed was fine, but the shower wasn’t great and sticky finger marks on the paintwork and a light bulb with no lampshade wasn’t wonderful! 
The room and bathroom was a good size though and the position of the Inn was excellent.
I don’t know if I would stay there again…
