Great location with access to city centre and easy secure parking.
Sandra
Very clean and comfortable. Will return.
steven
No AC or elevator but only one floor so not too bad (and weather was cool). Property had ample parking. Good location: only a short bus ride to city centre. Room had lots of outlets for charging your stuff (big plus these days) 😄. Small coffee shop and convenience store just steps away.

Katherine
Simple room with friendly service.
Excellent service at check in and check out. Simple basic room. Good pressure in the shower but could be hotter. Excellent pillows but mattress a bit soft for me. Good variety of tea/coffee and toiletries provided. Some rooms face a busy road so can be a bit noisy at times but generally quiet and a short bus ride into the city centre.
Great car park.

December stay
Lovely guest house in a good location. We arrived earlier in the day before check in but were able to use the car park, called to say we had arrived and went off for the day - when we returned our keys were ready for us. Would stay here again.
Helen
Great value for money on a busy weekend in Oxford. The room was small, but warm and had all we needed. The bed was comfortable. Only small complaint was the shower stall was small and the water pressure was weak.
Front desk staff was helpful and polite.

Hotel excellence.
This is what a hotel should be like which attracts repeat business. Immaculately clean, excellent decor, good wifi, warm welcome from owner who cares about customers. A significantly better experience than my hotel the night before in Shrewsbury, which i have slated accordingly because there was nothing good about that terrible experience.
Cary

Friendly staff,lovely clean room. Great breakfast.
Ian
Good all round - decent location, reasonable walking distance to city centre, fair sized car park, clean and fresh feel throughout hotel, friendly and with very good cooked breakfasts to set you up for the day :)
Only slight gripe was the sink in our room not draining properly but that didn't stop it from being a very pleasant stay.

Maz
Good place to stay
Warm welcome. Room on first floor comfortable but bed squeaked and pillows were not very soft. Hairdryer and toiletries provided were welcomed. Breakfast good with selection of cooked meals. Scrambled eggs on toast with mushrooms and tomatoes and beans was delicious. Good variety of teas. Parking easy. Easy access to buildings and room.

Great place for location a 5 min bus ride into Oxford. Great welcome from John a man of information. Cleanliness excellent. Decor good well kept. Breakfast top score.
Room was adequate size and comfortable...... however it had no window bad choice for our hot summer.... we did have a fan And survived. Would definitely return but would choose a different room.

A Great Place to Stay at a Low Price
Lovely buildings with character. Excellent service from a helpful manager with unusually good attention to detail. The rooms were large by UK standards, small by USA standards. Very clean, with a nice shower.
While there was no air conditioning, there was a powerful fan, and let's be honest, it is England, so the weather rarely is warm.
It is a 20-minute walk, but a beautiful one, to Magdalen college. I am 40, short, and fat, and I found the walk effortless and refreshing, with pretty buildings to look at on the way.
The breakfast was included with a large array of options, from the light and healthy to a traditional full English breakfast.
Overall, a lovely experience.

Quite Comfortable
This was an excellent place. As i needed to be at the university, it was a bit out of the way, but the breakfast was nice, the staff friendly, and the room well appointed and clean. The mattress was one of the hardest I've ever slept on, and the blankets were thin, but the heater worked well and I slept like a log. The bathtub was a real pleasure - a deep jacuzzi tub.
I'd do it all again.

Very nice on bus route to city center
Very clean. Secure perking. 5 min bus ride to city center. Excellent breakfast. Local pub 7 min walk with good food a lot cheaper than downtown.
Close enough to city center to be convient far enough to have much lower price.
Expedia indicated laundry available this was Thursday only nearest laundermat is a 30 min. Walk. Only affected us because we are on a 3 month trip. Very helpful owner kept our luggage while we were on a side trip. Good info on bus connections etc.
