Buffet breakfast was perfect. Steve Jones was a fantastic host! Great option at these prices!
Marshall, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Thank you for the very good service by the staff.
Alpar, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hosts were wonderful. Great breakfast and so charming either in the indoor breakfast room or the garden. Downtown within easy walking distance.
Susan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful spot. Looking forward to the next stay.
Benjamin, 11-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel was satisfactory and clean, staff pleasant and helpful, free continental breakfast and cooked breakfast available for a fee. Main drawback was the noisy roadworks near the hotel that went a on all day
Valerie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Proximity to central Oxford and train station
John, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely little inn in Oxford, where we greatly enjoyed our stay. The staff are friendly and professional, the room was comfortable and pleasant. Recommended!
David, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

A typical B&B. 5 mins walk to the Oxford railway station
T C, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The standard of housekeeping and cleanliness of the room was exceptional. All staff were professional, polite and efficient. The breakfast buffet provided a good selection of healthy foods. I would definitely recommend others to stay at the hotel and would book again if visiting Oxford in the future.
AIDAN, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is showing its age, but it's clean and within walking distance of the train station and the city center. The breakfast is good, although freshly cooked meals cost extra. We liked it and would happily return. A major construction site is still underway until 2026, but there was no work at night.
Jörg, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Not a true 3-star—barely a 2. No soap, noisy despite odd window panels, and “free” breakfast came with a charge. Staff were kind, and location *might* be great… once the roadworks end in August 2026.
Lovely breakfast location
Frédéric, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Breakfast was good and the staff were great, but it struggled to make up for the uncomfortable room. The ‘annex’ to the hotel is an old run down single front house that is down the street and around the corner, a bit further than we anticipated carrying our luggage. The beds were not particularly comfortable and the heat seemed to trap in the room no matter how long we left the windows open. Definitely dated for the price.
Kia, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A taste of Old England. Great location. Close to train station and bus or train to both air ports.
Kenneth, 4-night trip

near city centre
King, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Convenient location, easily walkable to all the places we wanted to visit. Didn't even hear any of the extensive construction work going on outside,
John, 3-night trip

nice stay, old hotel
Zilan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Was on a business trip and was perfect for a basic overnight stay. It's an old hotel and an old building which is part of it's charm.
Marine Stewardship Counci, 3-night trip

Great location, great options for breakfast, only downside was a little small.
Helen, 3-night trip
