10 minute walk to nuffield hospital orthopaedics.
Room was basic and walls like paper, but for under £100 a night in September, filled the need.

A run down/dated property in general. The room smelt musty and like the carpets were in desperate need of a deep clean. Old beds and furnishings. Thin walls and banging doors from other rooms. Not worth what I paid. Wouldn't return.

Contactless check in and out.

Check-in and checkout were contactless. The room was pretty clean. It was quiet. There is parking available. Well stocked kitchenette with coffee, tea, and sugar though we did not partake. A good budget option.

We were warmly greeted by Ema (the manager), which was one of the few positives. Unfortunately, the stay was disappointing.

Our room was at the back of the property with its own external door opening onto a car park courtyard shared with other rooms — this didn’t feel secure. A smoking bin was also mounted by the window.

Inside, the room had a damp smell, cobwebs on light fittings, dirt along the door edges, and visible stains on the bedding, pillow cases, and decorative cushions. The extractor fan pulsed on and off and clearly needed maintenance. Although the room looked like the online photos, the cleanliness and quality did not match what was advertised.

Due to the condition of the room, we chose not to stay and drove over 100 miles home late at night. We raised these issues with the manager, who agreed the room fell well below their usual standards. We were offered a 50% refund on a non-refundable stay, which highlights the severity of the situation. Though we accepted this at the time, we feel a full refund would have been more appropriate given that we were unable to stay at all.

Based on this experience, I would not recommend this property.

Really nice accommodation. Clean, comfortable, and handy location. Numerous buses go to centre of Oxford and 13 min walk to eateries n shops in Headington. Several nice pubs. Staff at Conifers lovely and go that extra mile to help. Sorted out a taxi for us when we needed one urgently and got them to prioritise us. They were great. They also do breakfast. It is basic, but tasty Will be stopping here lots over next 18 months until our son finishes his medical degree. Reasonably priced for Oxford. I recommend 👌

Excellent Conifers.

My Conifers Guest House stay was very good indeed. From a friendly early check in, to breakfast at only £10, but with plenty to eat and hot food options too. Room 11 was large and quiet. It was also well equipped with fridge, microwave plus plates, cutlery, kettle, tea/coffee and milk provided. There was even stuff to wash up with. The wi-fi was good and strong and I had no problems working on my laptop there one day.

If I did have a minor criticism, it would be that when asked if I required the room cleaning on the day I was working, I said no thanks, but I did want some more milk cartons, they never arrived, nor was I told they weren't available. But in the big scheme of things, it's hardly worth worrying about.

An ok stay

After using hotels.com to inform conifers we would be arriving fairly late they still rang and emailed wanting a time which I couldn’t give exactly. The room and bathroom were very clean and well presented overall.The person that greeted us was very friendly. It is close to the hospital which was great. The bed was fairly comfortable. The bathroom door handle creaked so loudly it was awful. The toilet lid closed when you sat down so was resting on your back. The bathroom window didn’t have a blind so I felt very exposed and uncomfortable when it was dark and the light was on. There were no hooks or anywhere to hang towels. And we couldn’t have breakfast with them as they don’t take card payments. It was fine at conifers for the price and for our needs. Just feel a few things need addressing.

Convenient location

I was there for a 2-day conference in a university building 10-15 walking distance. The room was good size, bed and pillows were good. Breakfast was good, but not a lot of options, remember to book in advance, I could only get it for 1 day of my stay because of that. The shower was acceptable, but low pressure.

I know that its cost is much more better than a hotel however it’s very far from the center of Oxford. I needed to get a taxi because of cold weather. So the total cost is equal if I would have preferred a hotel. Additionally the radiator wasn’t working at midnight and I needed to use additional electric heater (there is one in the room). I wish the natural gas radiator was working because of the extremely cold weather. But the greeter was kind. FYI, you need to check in until 6 pm if you go there on Saturday. I knew that check in must be until 9 pm as the website indicated. But it’s not. Thanks

Staff were bery helpful and friendly. There was free parking at the property and next door so we had no issues parking. However the shower had very weak water pressure and was really stiff so we coudn't adjust the head. Also the floor boards in the room uosators were very loud sp every time the people upstairs were moving around it would wake us up. Apart form that the stay was nice but we didnt sleep well because of the noisy floorboards, but the area itself was quite.

The single room is just a bit too small. There is not a common area as the breakfast room gets locked after breakfast. There were some heavy decorations work in a room setting off the fire alarm. The place is spotless!!!

The central heating only gets turned on at specific times. There was a small oil electric heater to use but the toilet is freezing at night time.

All in all, good value for money

The hotel turned off the heat

The hotel is good everything is clean.
For breakfast you have to call them one day in advance if you want breakfast.
They only major issue is that they turned off the heat during the night, and it was a bit cold, there is an electric oil filled heater though, but it didn’t heat very well.

Great little hotel

Great little hotel in Headington. Clean and tidy, comfortable beds , soft linen , warm heating . Helpful staff and free off road parking too.
Only negative was the hot tap on the bath was broken , we turned it on and then it would not turn off. We had to fiddle with it for a while to get it to stop. Needs replacing.

Perfectly acceptable

We had what would appear to be a family room in the annexe to the rear. Good beds, Small kitchenette area with table and chairs for four. Sizeable shower / w.c. room. We did not partake of the breakfast, which was at extra cost.

On site / adjacent parking for about 9 cars, although it might be tight for chunkier cars.

Overall perfectly acceptable accommodation.

I did think the administration a little over the top including on-line registration before arriving.

Just one issue--the booking included `free' continental breakfast. On arrival my husband was informed that there was no breakfast. This was disappointing and he had to head off elsewhere to find something to eat. I went without.
Otherwise all was well, and we would stay at The Conifers again. Thank you.

It was a homely experience with friendly breakfast staffs. Take note that there are only 3 parking lots so it's first come first serve. There are about 2-3 more private lots at the back but subject to availability. No staff available after 9pm so get your queries done early. No aircon either so it gets stuffy on hot days.
