Oxford's historical toilets meet the media with Hotel glamour
Stay at one of Oxford's most unique hotels!
Victorian gentlemen’s toilets originally built in 1895, have been upgraded into a boutique hotel following previous closures in 2008 over safety concerns.
The Netty, on St Giles’ Road in Oxford, is located in two suites, found underground in the middle of a busy road.
It keeps certain original features such as the tiled floor, yet brings a fresh, cosy, and modern touch of patterns and blush pinks topped with clean wooden finishes. A much different appearance to its historical look!
The site was bought by Oxford business owner Gwyn Harries-Jones back in 2011, but developmental plans never proceeded, leaving it a lone time capsule for 11 years before The Netty came to be.
Sitting uniquely in the middle of Oxford City Centre, visitors will be steps away from the University of Oxford and a 13 minute walk away from the Thames River, giving the hotel convenient access to attractions, shops, and bars.
Hotel manager Ana Pinheiro previously told the BBC, ‘I would say it is one of the strangest places in Oxford to stay…but it is a very nice experience if you are willing.’
