It has been really wonderful staying at The Park. I remember the day I arrived here from India, they helped me move in, and the process was super smooth. No inconvenience whatsoever. The vibe here at The Park is elegant. During the evening, it looks like you’re somewhere in Paris. Nobody disturbs you, not even others who live here. It’s really easy to make friends here and hang out in the common area, where there’s also a pool table, television and a kiosk. I’ve been to other accommodations, and they don’t allow me to play pool post 10 pm. Some even charge you for it. However, at the park, no charges, and you can play for long as you like, even through the entire night. There’s enough space for you to fit all your belongings in your rooms. I know it because I had 75kgs excess weight when I travelled from India. Imagine how much stuff I have that easily was organised in my en-suite room. The kitchen is big and beautiful, with enough storage for everyone to have a minimum of 2 cupboards, and the view from each window is different and beautiful in its own way. The security for your bikes and even you is tight. There’s always someone at the reception for your help, regardless of the time or situation. Staying here is one of the best decisions I made here in Oxford.

The Park is great. Really nice facilities. Rooms are a good size with plenty of storage space. The staff are so friendly. The team was always so helpful and went out of their way to make staying in an accommodation fun and exciting. Any issues are quickly resolved, and there’s security overnight to make us feel safe. The place wouldn’t be the same without them. Nearby an Aldi for quick shopping and close to Brookes Uni by bus or walking. I would recommend The Park to any student.

As a mother, I feel happy about the service, speedy response and quality of the people working in this company. They got my son relocated to Oxford right away, and I couldn’t ask for more. Very communicative, high standards and amicable. They made it easy for him as a student and for me as a mother miles away.
