One word - avoid. What ypu see in the description and in reviews is NOT what you get.

The room was facing the main road and the constant, non-stop noise was unbearable.

The breakfast was horrible. £12.50 extra for 1x burnt bacon, uncooked hash brown and a pathetic looking uncooked sausage. Plus a fried egg complete with a hair. The 'chef' needs sone training on how to actually cook food properly. Poor quality, cheap orange juice and bread that hadnt been fresh for a few days.

The staff were unhelpful and miserable. Customer Service is non-existent.

The water pressure in the bathroom was very low. The decor was chipped, flaking and depressing. Bed sheets smelt damp.

A horrible experience never to be repeated.

The guest house was very comfortable.

The owners have obviously gone to a lot of trouble to provide their customers with a host of information about the local area and its attractions. Freshly laundered linen, a clean ensuite with wonderfully hot water and a breakfast cooked to order, all contributed to a comfortable overnight stay. Parking at the rear of the house also contributed to a stress free stay.

Unfortunately the duvet had a very bad odor. I tried putting a towel over it but still could smell a very bad stench. Thankfully flipping the head side and feet side worked. It was jus a night so didn’t bother telling the staff.

The only minor complaint was having to pay an extra £10 for breakfast which made it quite expensive especially if you didn't have a cooked breakfast. Staff were great though and gave a very good restaurant recommendation. Thank you.

Convenient location, comfortable room

My cousin and i spent just one night at the Oxford Guest House because it was convenient to Heathrow for a morning flight. The bus to Heathrow leaves just 2 blocks away. It was also convenient to bus service to the center of Oxford. We were concerned that our twin room was in the front of the house which is on a busy street but it was not at all noisy during the night. The room was small but comfortable. The bathroom was very nice and clean. The young man who checked us in was pleasant and helpful.

The Oxford Guest House is perfectly located for visiting The Kilns (CS Lewis house), Holy Trinity Church, and the local parks. It's very close to the bus stations, which made visiting the college campuses and city center very easy. Check-in was simple. The room was small but comfortable. The bathroom was accessibility-rated and very nice. My only complaint was that the electric kettle was pretty dirty and caused floaters in the tea. I wasn't able to get it clean myself. Overall, it was a very good location for my trip and I would stay here again.

An Excellent 1 Night Stay in Superior Double Room

We have just spent one night at this wonderful B&B which is located on the outskirts of Oxford city, with excellent transport links into Oxford city centre with a bus stop situated right outside. We stayed in a superior double room located upstairs at the rear of the premises overlooking the car park. The room was immaculate, spacious, comfortable and very quiet. The room was en-suite, comfortable bed, furnished with a desk, armchair, fridge, tv, hairdryer, tea/coffee making facilities. The B&B offers cooked and continental breakfast (at a charge), which we didn't take advantage of as we had other plans. The two ladies we met were very friendly and helpful. We could not fault our brief stay and would certainly stay again.

Ideal location.

Easy to find and ideal for the hospital. Lots of cafes and eating places not too far away. Friendly people. Need a reception sign outside especially if entering from the car park. Parking was easy too. Room was ample, bathroom too. Wi-Fi reception was good. Didn’t realise that breakfast Wasn’t included in the price but easy to order there. Bit disappointed with the cooked breakfast, despite me forewarning them that I was gluten intolerant and being assured that they could cater, as I could only have crispy bacon &beans..can’t eat eggs. Made up with cereal, yoghurt and toast. Plenty of choices for normal eaters. Easy to check out too.

Overpriced for what you get

Overpriced for what you get. Rooms are very small and pokey, although clean, with no elevator if you have heavy luggage. Staff were not very friendly if you decided not to purchase the 10 pound per head breakfast. Hotel is next to a busy and noisy main road.

Pleasant stay.

Arrived mid afternoon and was welcomed by a couple of friendly staff. The Dining area was nicely set up and the place was nice and pleasant and clean. I then enquired about evening meal only to be told they did not do food except breakfast and there was no bar. This is not what is advertised on hotels.com so please be aware of this when booking. The bedroom was small but clean and pleasant with an average shower. There was plenty of tea/coffee facilities and water plus a fridge & microwave in the room. All the staff are very friendly. Private off street parking is also a good point and there are shops and restaurant's within a 5 min walk.

Nice room with all the useful things you'd expect and more (ensuite bathroom with shower, decaf coffee and tea - appreciated! As well as normal tea and coffee, milk, kettle, shampoo, conditioner, body wash. even a multi-adapter cable by the bed to charge your phone etc!) About 25 walk to the hospital, probably able to catch a bus there too. Short walk to food places including Co-Op and fast food. I tend to have a yearly appointment at the JR hospital - I'll probably book this place again for next year

Lovely stay, very welcoming

We stayed in the Monday night and Wednesday night as my husband had hospital appointments early in the morning.
We were welcomed on each check in and felt very comfortable. The room was clean and had all of the amenities we needed.
Parking was no issue and the guest house is a short walk from restaurants and shops.
We would definitely stay here again.

Easy to find and close to where I needed to be. As a lone female I didn’t feel particularly welcome or safe which is important to me. Didn’t feel able to safely walk around the area. There were hairs in the shower and round the sink. The welcome by the member of staff was not very friendly they seemed more awkward. The parking was tight. The mirror was not in a helpful position or a helpful size if you want to stand up and look in it. To look in it you have to sit on the bed but you slide of the bed sheets so it’s really hard to do your hair. Nice modern bathroom but then written shampoo is black felt tip on toiletry containers. Also accessorised with cheap mirror and wardrobe in bedroom. Would have liked at extra blanket. Quilt was thin.

Very very disappointed

I booked in for 12 nights as a restaurant bar and garden were advertised
Sadly none were available
If I had know that before I booked I would have looked elsewhere.
Feel I was deceived.

The rooms are advertised as sound proof.
Believe me. Number 7 isn’t.
People above walking around at 6.30am. Door to car park slamming early morning.

3 days out of 12 I had no room service so no milk for my coffee

There may be reasons for all of this but it should have been transparent on the description

Ox’Ford Guest House

Nice guest house in a good location for accessing Oxford City Centre. Very pleasant staff. Very clean and lovely breakfast.
Problems on arrival. No-one there to let us in on arrival, despite having replied to their message to advise the owners of our anticipated arrival time. Just locked doors and no answer to knocking. Felt unwelcoming at that stage. Managed to find a chap working at the bottom of the garden and he helpfully phoned the owner and managed to let us in (not sure who he was). The door to our room was open but again no key available, by which time we couldn’t find the first chap. Phoned the owner who said she’d try to contact him snd phone back. Didn’t prove back for maybe 1-2hrs, by which time we’d decided to leave our stuff in an unlocked room, taking any valuables with us into the city centre. One of the beds not made up and no towels for this guest.
The bunk bed was extremely uncomfortable and noisy if anyone turned in the night.
Light in the bathroom was automatic, so came on brightly if anyone nipped to the toilet in the night, so unavoidably very bright which woke other guests.
We very much enjoyed our break in Oxford and the guest house was lovely and clean, nice temperature, good location and lovely breakfast and friendly staff.
A nice place to stay if the owners made sure there wasn’t a problem with welcoming guests on their arrival. I suspect most rooms are very clean snd airy and comfortable - just not the bunk bed in the family room.
