Price and location

Nothing.

7.0 / 10.0

Good value for money, don't expect luxury.

A basic, good value place in expensive Oxford. Right opposite the bus stop (out), with frequent buses to the centre (ask for Three Mile Lane stop, opposite Wolvercote Cemetery). Currently being repainted, with new wallpaper. The room had a kettle, large, clean towels, basic soaps, TV, and a couple of hangers in the wardrobe. Single, comfortable bed and black out curtains. Great hot shower. Clean shower and toilet (shared in my case, but there are other en suite rooms).

Don't expect luxury! The bed could use a bedside light. The shower, although clean, was a bit mouldy (tip to owner: invest in Cillit Bang mould remover spray). The shower mat (towel) needs replacing. Make sure you are clear about your heating needs - the manager was willing to heat the room all night, but I told him I would like my heat to be turned off at 10 PM, and then forgot to say I would like it turned on again in the morning! I didn't see anyone in the morning before I left at 8:30. No breakfast there or nearby, but you could probably have cereal in your room. My room faced the main road, but it's not noisy at night.

Convenient and served a purpose

GOOD LOCATION

It was very cold and I had to ask twice for low level heating to take the chill off the room. I reported that hot water was not getting through the basin tap in bathroom, only lukewarm

5.0 / 10.0

They should make sure that everything is going well and in a good condition

Toilet was not clean enough as expected and it was having block which made us a bad experience of stay.

If my family were there I would have went up the road to travel lodge or holiday inn.

Dirty, very old and not well kept.

5.0 / 10.0

Grubby and unappealing but relatively cheap.

Good sized TV. Microwave and fridge. Not expensive. Helpful host.

The bathroom was in urgent need of some powerful cleaning agents. Cheap, mismatched furniture. Hot water tepid at best. Parking limited due to two cars for sale on the driveway.

5.0 / 10.0

Ok for one night last minute.

Free WiFi, microwave. On good bus route to city centre.

No room on car park as there was a car with a for sale sign permanently parked there. We had to park on street and move on by 10am. Our room was at front and very noisy from traffic. Was only there from 9pm till 9am so can't comment on garden etc as didn't see it. Only saw a person when they opened door and gave us a key. Guesthouse sign made the place look uninviting. Think photos on Booking.com were better than our room and the hotel but perhaps we were unlucky.

7.0 / 10.0

Nice, short relaxing stay.

The bed, access to a fridge AND microwave.

Hotel toilet was hard to get into, and out due to the positioning of the door. Very early check-out time.

5.0 / 10.0

Not quite what I expected

On a major bus route out of the city

Water pressure in upstairs bathrooms in particular

5.0 / 10.0

It was convenient.

It is on a direct bus line to Oxford Central city

It was not very clean. This property is obviously quite old and it has that slightly tatty sense about it. In my room, there was a luggage rack, which I had to fix by putting one of the wheels back on. The molding had broken away from around the fireplace, and the bathroom is not very clean. The property is located on a main street and since I had a Ford facing room, I had to close all the windows in order to get enough silence to sleep.

8.0 / 10.0

Just right for what I needed.

It suited what I was looking for, a cheap place to put my head down. It was clean, and care had been given to all my needs, eg tea for the morning, soap for the shower, comfortable bed, fan in the room and so on.

The place could have done with redecoration

8.0 / 10.0

It was a short and sweet stay

It was fit for purpose.

Shared bathroom was the only drawback

9.0 / 10.0

Great budget stay!

A very good budget guesthouse. The kitchenette was very useful. Comfortable bed and nice big towels which is rare.

Minor quibbles ans easily rectified. No bedside table to put a drink on. Had to turn the bin upside down. Lights a bit bit bright. Needed a bedside lamp as an alternative

Scammers - Avoid

I did not like anything about this horrendous experience. They should be removed from the Booking.com website.

Booked / paid in January. On arrival Guest House said they had no record of booking. Showed them booking confirmation / reference / receipt, but then they informed me they usually cancel bookings (presumably made via Booking.com), yet they had my money. Clearly a scam. No apology, no concern that people arrive with the expectation they have a booking to then find themselves without anywhere to stay. No doubt this awful place will respond with some pathetic excuse to try and justify their appalling way of treating Booking.com customers.

1.0 / 10.0

Horrible

nothing

The guest house was absolutely filthy, from the entrance to the rooms. The rooms were not clean, it looked like all they did was change the bedsheet. The rest of the room was dirty, there was mould present on the edges of the wall, cobwebs were visible on the furniture. The counter top with the mini kitchenette was not clean, the microwave was dirty. The bathroom was so dirty that I could not take a bath or even brush my teeth, it had a horrible stench. The level of sanitation in the place is unacceptable given the fact that people pay a decent amount of money to stay here. It was unsafe, my body was itching. Thankfully I only booked a night, if I booked a longer stay i would have cancelled and requested a full refund.

Pleasant stay, lovely room with an en-suite, sink. Microwave and fridge. The customer service of the staff was 10/10! they really look after you.

Perfect for an overnight stay or short break

Location was great, easy to find even in the dark. Off street parking was easy to access. Room was cozy and by that I mean the feeling, not that it was tiny. En suite great. TV, hairdryer, WiFi password given. Polite host. Lovely reception area. Garden looked beautiful in the morning.

Sadly no lamp in the room but not a deal breaker

5.0 / 10.0

Helpful, polite but unhygienic and dirty in the bathroom.

The member of staff was helpful and polite.

I had to clean the toilet and shower before I could use it.

Bad Host

This guy expects a certain level of cleaning! Messaged me mid way through my stay to say that the room wasn’t Up to his level of cleanliness! Basically I’d left some plates in the sink and some surface water on the microwave plate. He messaged saying he was disappointed! Cheek of him ! I’d been at work all day and rushed back out in the morning and not tidied round!

Disappointed when we expected a clean, good-smelling place to stay. Expensive for one night

The flat was quite small and mouldy. It was also quite dirty in some corners and in the kitchen area... the beds were fine though, and the sheets were clean.
