First experience of a self check in… but it did work .Although I would have preferred an earlier check in time than 4pm..My double room was well appointed with a small but adequate bathroom..shower.. The property was a short 20 mins walk from the station… perfect for a short stay in Oxford.. The breakfast arrangement allowed guests to self serve themselves to a wide range of continental breakfast dishes.. and I especially admired the extremely great variety of teas…
I recommend this guest house

Walkable location into Oxford. Good enough breakfast with cold items.
Some rooms definitely better than others. Our top floor room was up a lot of fairly narrow stairs, had an uncomfortable slopped ceiling and shared a bathroom that had only a bathtub with a spray handle. Tough taking a shower without getting the whole bathroom wet! If you have any mobility issues it would have been an impossible room, but there are others that were better.
If you have a car, pray you get one of the 4 parking spaces! We did and then walked everywhere.
Overall good enough hotel for our 2 night stay to see Oxford.

If you are traveling to Oxford and want to be close (within walking distance) to everything, this is a cool place. The management is excellent and really willing to help. This place is nothing special, it is a place to lay your head. But it is well cared for and has great staff and a good breakfast.

The Osney Arms is very well located. The communication and instructions are great. The bed was comfortable and was a real king sized bed. Many beds that people in the UK call king sized aren’t really king sized. The rooms and guest house are a little outdated but overall it is a good value for the price.

Self service breakfast with lots of choice, teas, coffee machine, fruit, cereals, breads. Lovely clean kitchen and dining area.
We had a King Sized bedroom that was very comfortable. Ensuite very clean and shoerr was excellent. Beautiful curtains in bedroom.
Instructions for entry etc very clear.
Excellently placed for a 15 minute walk into Oxford. Buses from train station as road closed for train bridge work.
We had parking behind the property.
We would recommend staying here and would certainly stay again. Thank you.

Location was good. Reasonable walk to Oxford University. The continental breakfast was nice to have. Never saw that anywhere else. Seems like a one man show and he is doing his best. Important to know what you are getting though. This is an old run down property. The carpets are old, dirty and stretched out. Bedding seemed nice.

An ideal property if you want to be close to Oxford centre. Currently not helped by all the roadworks nearby, though that is not the fault of the hotel.

The Osney Arms is a terrific place from which to explore Oxford. The rooms are small but quiet, clean, comfortable and have everything you would need. The breakfast is outstanding, with many healthy options and thoughtful touches. The guest house is also just a 15-minute walk from the train station. While the manager isn't on site, he replies quickly to any questions. I enjoyed my stay and found it an excellent value.

Communication about checking in was really helpful, the breakfast set up looked really good although I chose not to eat as it was provided at the conference I was attending. I had a kettle for drinks in my room and the hosts kindly left a packet of gluten free biscuits for me because I let them know my dietary needs. I was upgraded to an ensuite, having booked one of the only rooms with a shared bathroom. The bed was so comfortable and the set up in the room was good. I had reservations before my visit, but after staying there once, I would definitely visit again when next in Oxford.

Though the guesthouse is unprepossessing from the outside, inside it’s a different story. The rooms are comfortable, spotlessly clean and with welcoming tea, coffee and biscuits. There are no staff so access is coded, but easy and secure and there are clear instructions (admittedly only in English) everywhere.
Breakfast, again self-service, was first-rate with plenty of choice, including fresh fruit.
All in all great accommodation at a very reasonable price !

This felt a lot more luxurious than the price tag suggested! My room on the top floor was small but perfect for a single guest, the bed was comfy with a choice of pillows, and a kettle and fan were provided in the room, plus lots of free biscuits. The bathroom was shared but only with one other room, and it was huge (and everything was scrupulously clean). The buffet breakfast was well thought through with a nice range of options, including coffee machine and herbal teas, a selection of dairy and plant milks, and a range of cereals (with clear allergy information). The self check in was smooth with clear info provided. Would definitely stay again.

That said, the sheets and bathroom were clean, the breakfast was hearty and the breakfast room and kitchen well stocked and clean. The location was a convenient walk to the train station, laundromat, grocer, park, and restaurants.

The guest house was as expected. It was all self service from check in to leaving the only staff member we saw was the cleaner. The room and bathroom were clean and tidy. The food available for breakfast was fine with a good variety
Negatives were - The bathroom mirror in room 3 was cracked all across its width. The sink in the kitchen adjacent to the dinning room was dirty and the cleaner seem to wash up the breakfast dishes without cleaning it.

Quirky but good

Quirky, slightly chaotic DIY guest house converted from an Edwardian pub. Once we got used to the self-service breakfast in the communal dining room, we found it a really comfortable stay. There's everything you could want for a continental breakfast and a really good coffee machine, With full access to the kitchen it's ideal for heating up an evening takeaway or even cooking a meal. Bitlab, the proprietor was around in the mornings and always helpful.

Although our room was almost straight onto the street at ground level, which was slightly disconcerting to start with, there was very little traffic noise (more from other guests actually). Decorated to a good standard, you get the feeling that it was fitted out from an auction house. Nothing matches, but so what.

Oxford is the city of bicycles, so come by train or be prepared for park and ride and lots of walking. Don't rely on the four parking spaces at the property! But you can also hire an electric bike or even an electric scooter.

Good value for money.

Outside of building misleading. Inside is clean and light. Our double ensuite had a view over the street, was clean and well equipped. Lots of hot water, radiators that can be adjusted, comfortable bed, tea making facilities. Very happy considering the price we paid. Breakfast was ok.
Only issue is parking. We were lucky to get a place outside. Also major roadworks on route into town. But overall very good value for money.

It was exactly what I needed, a comfortable room for one night. The room was clean and tidy with space to put things down (not always the case) and it was just fine. My only issue - but it wasn't too much of an issue - was that my room was right next to the front door so I heard as folk went in and out.

Basic, low price accommodation

Essentially a hostel. Not a terrible stay, but very basic accommodation in a basic, unimpressive (and poorly insulated) house. The room was in a dormer, and very, very small with a shared bathroom that only had a bathtub.

Good value for money. It would be useful to have a chair and a desk or table in the room.

The owner helped us carry our luggage to our room and next day to our car. Have you ever had an owner do this for you?

The property was across the river from the main part of Oxford. There was construction near the bridge; however, it was clearly marked. The walk was several blocks away from restaurants and shopping. Upon arrival, my room was cold, so I emailed the owner, who appeared within an hour to bring an electric heating unit and to turn on the house's heat. The breakfast was self-serve with coffees/teas, fruits, pastries and cereals. All guests ate at the same table which encouraged conversations with people from other cities/countries.

Great value and getting your own bathroom is great for the price and location. Minutes from train station. It is not five stars.

We had a great stay at this small family-run hotel. Good value overall.  The owner was very responsive (try calling directly), and helped with early check-in and leaving our bags for a late departure.  Comfortable bed.  Very good Continental breakfast with better options than the typical hotel - milk, granola, good coffee. Nice hot shower.

The Osney Arms was perfect for us staying over night while we attended a wedding near-by. Biplab was wonderfully welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed.
Our room was lovely and had everything we could need. We’d definitely stay again and reccomended it to others.

We had a spacious room, which was great. The continental breakfast options were also great. The interior (and exterior) is in need of a very deep clean and paint refresh. It is looking and feeling worn out and tired. Adding to all this is the need to declutter, especially the dining room and kitchen. It was well located.

Great location

We arrived early and were greeted by a very pleasant young man who gave us our key and was apologetic that the room wasn’t quite ready. As it was only 10.30am we were delighted to be able to leave the car, use the bathroom and walk into Oxford. The room was quite small and could do with a paint refresh but it was clean and quiet and we had a great nights sleep.

Good location for centre of Oxford. Parking about OK. Owner/manager accessible when needed. It's what you should expect in a decent guest house.

Lovely hotel to stay in

Exactly what we needed and was a manageable walk in the town centre & back. I think a sign for the fridge would make it clearer that it's in the breakfast area rather than the kitchen but good selection for the continental breakfast

Location of the property was perfect, walkable into the centre of Oxford and also to where we were attending a wedding party.
The breakfast was amazing and VERY generous.
The only issue was the door to our room opened the wrong way which made getting in and out challenging, particularly with baggage!
