This guest house is in a very good location with easy access to the city by bus or a 25 minute walk. Our beds were comfortable and the room was quiet.
Breakfast was a very basic continental one. Tea was made using hot water from a thermos flask which was not pleasant.
There is limited on street parking.

Ideal stop for Oxford

Stayed for two nights on a motorcycle trip. Adams guest house is very conveniently situated for Oxford city centre and easily accessible from the ring road. It is on a main road but was very quiet at night. There are plenty of shops and places to eat within a short walk. There is parking for two cars at the front. The room was clean and comfortable although the decor is looking a bit tired, but that doesn't detract from a comfortable experience. I only eat flakes for breakfast but there was plenty of choice of cereals, breads, fruits, yoghurt etc for breakfast and the coffee was good. Manager and staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Definitely would stay again if coming to Oxford

Budget accommodation; friendly staff team

This is a budget offering, so that has to be borne in mind. I had the single room which is up in the roof space. It was very hot (weather 32+ degrees), and they'd provided a small electric fan. However, the built-in blind in the velux is broken, so pinged up and sunlight poured in! Overall, it was fine for a stopover. I felt safe here. The parking spaces were taken, so they kindly offered me a parking permit. Easy win would be to fix the peg in shower room that requires a screw. It was clean and comfortable. I didn't stop for brekkie, so can't comment on that. It's run by a friendly, communicative staff team. I'd stay again as I know exactly what I'm getting.

Very basic, however with a smile ☺️

Although Amanda was very welcoming the guest house was very basic, which is okay as it was a budget stay, however we booked for two nights and once we had checked in and stayed one night we were asked if we could move to another room for the second night because they had received a late booking. We understand things happen however we are pensioners with two large bags who are traveling around the UK as tourists.
We were put in the attic room and carried our bags up three flights of stairs.
The second night we were moved to the lowest level and had to repack our bags and carry them down the stairs again
We would have liked to stayed in the first room however she asked us to move and felt a little uncomfortable to say no, however probably should have.
The breakfast is very basic and with the TV news channel on throughout in the breakfast room, the ambiance was not relaxing and the news was to loud.
Unfortunately not a good experience and although Amanda tries very hard to run a good guest house I would like to see her focus on the simple things that make the difference and a good feel factor

It was convenient, good value and near to shops, restaurants and transport - and surprisingly quiet for a main road. However there were no staff on site except for breakfast, the room was very cramped (it was sold to us as a double but was in fact a triple), the shower was almost impossible to get hot, there was no tea in the tea-making facilities, and the breakfast table having a knife and fork led us to expect a cooked breakfast which was not available. The door, windows and banisters all needed painting and were currently in a very dingy looking dark brown, though they had made a good effort to decorate for Christmas. We would not go there again.

A good base in Oxford

We stayed for one night. It was a great base for going to see a show in Oxford. It was a 35 minutes walk, or you could bus from very close to the property. There were a couple of pubs, and local shops including M and S food. We luckily had use of the parking space outside and the owners asked us straight away if we needed parking.
Although the decor was a bit dated, the room was clean and warm. The bed was comfortable, en-suite was ok. Tea and coffee was supplied in the room. Breakfast was good, mainly continental, cereal toast we were also offed a fried egg and there was plenty of tea and coffee, a good range of jam and marmalade.
This was really good value for a B and B in Oxford. We would use it again if we needed somewhere to stay.

Incorrect details on hotels.com

The information provided on the hotels website was not what we were informed when we arrived. Breakfast finished half an hour earlier, and check-out was also 30 mins earlier than stated.
There was no shared kitchen as indicated in the pictures, and we didn't see a laundry (though we did not ask).
The information states that there is a restaurant - this is not the case. It is straight up a B&B and does not pretend to be more.

This property offered reasonably good value for the time in which I stayed- June graduation. I had a double room at the front of the property overlooking busy Banbury Road. The room itself was very shabby and dated, but I had expected that. The host family members were very sweet. I loved the location. There are great shops and cafes and grocery stores at your doorstep. The stop for the bus into the centre was a block away, frequent buses, £2 each way or £4.50 for a day pass. 10 minutes to the High Street. A beautiful city. Just wished the hotel room was a bit nicer. I saw some other rooms and they were much the same. Wouldn’t take much more than a paint job to make this place more appealing.

Very simple breakfast provided which consisted of cereal, juice/tea/coffee and yogurt cups, nothing fancy but enough to get the day started.
