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.

Nice family room and good value with breakfast. Some information in listing is inaccurate as check out is 10am not 10.30 and breakfast ended at 9am not 9.30am as advertised for weekends so we weren't able to have any cooked breakfast as we missed it sadly.

Good value, nice place to stay
Being on the 3rd floor wasn't fun, but the owners went out of their way to help us with our luggage, they even helped us all the way down the street where we had to park. Nice place for the price, we'd certainly stay again and recommend it to our friends

It is at a pretty convenient location, near multiple buses that goes to the main Oxford city center, and lots of restaurants near by. The room itself is comfy. The issues we had were, the room did not have clean sheets when we checked-in, and there was no one on-site when we arrived. There was a sign on the door to say - call this number, but is hard if you don't have cellular service (overseas visitor)

Comfortable stay. Property little dated and could do with a fresh coat of paint. Could do with a bit more attention on cleaning cobwebs on windows and dust on skirting boards. But clean bedding and towels. Owners pleasent and helpful. Only 2 parking spaces outside property but more parking on side street with a permit ( can get one from property). Lovely breakfast choice of cereals toast yogurts and fruit also offered bean and egg. Shops and restaurants a couple of minutes walk away.

The b and b was in a great location. Lots of shops and eateries. Walking distance to Oxford city. I only paid £55 a night for this b and b so I did not expect fabulous facilities. But it was clean. Tea and coffee facilities. Tv in room. Breakfast. I felt safe as a woman on her own .

Family friendly Oxford Guest house
Good stay in an slightly older place. There were three of us. Comfortable and in a area with mini supermarkets, restaurants, good public transport etc. Breakfast had a good continental selection and host cooked fried eggs. Also cooked our daughters self brought GF bread and allergy tolerant. Would stay there again (many places in Oxford were crazy expensive).

Tired old B&B on a busy street
The beds were ok but the room space was tight and the bathroom was cramped and very dirty. Couldn't wait to leave.

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.

Good location, not too close from city center (about a 40 minute walk), but still close to smaller shops and restaurants. Room was on the smaller side but it was very clean. Very simple breakfast provided which consisted of cereal, juice/tea/coffee and yogurt cups, nothing fancy but enough to get the day started. Check-in is a little different since you have to call a number to have access to the front door. Still a lovely stay.
