Good:
a) All the people of the house are so kind, warm & helpful for everything, from the boss to manager to the staff.
b) The room is perfect clean for everyday. The cookies and free bottles water are so warm.
c) Quite easy to get to the Oxford downtown just 10-15 mins by foot.
d) So helpful for me to park my rental car in the house's special parking lot, and thanks a lot for the communication by email before my arriving.
e) Nice, delicous and typical British breakfast, at least to Chinese people.
f) Convenient surrounding, such as close bus stops for two directions--even I didn't take, a small shop named Londia within 100m--where I bought UK cigarette.
Pity:
a)Cause my room for family is just beside the road,so it's really noisy in the midnight & early morning when cars come and go, especially on weekdays. If the windows of the room are doubled would be better.
b)No ice-box in the room, so we really worried about a little for the milk bought from the supermarket.
c) The building is quite old, so you clearly hear the sound of the steps from the upstairs floor.

'Real value for money' is the first phrase that comes to mind. Cooked breakfast offers quality ingredients, well cooked and a special mention for the scrambled egg. Crisp white bed linen in a clean room. Free on site parking is a definite bonus. Easy stroll into city. Yes, the room decor in the room I had was somewhat tired and in need of tlc but most of the time I had my eyes shut in a good night's sleep. I have given 5 stars because of the overall real value for money.

Great guest house for visiting Oxford, town centre and all attractions, universities within walking distance.
Very clean, lovely big room with en suit.
The lady, from Blackburn, who served our
Breakfast was so friendly, and was very kind when we had to leave earlier than expected.
The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of the person who came to collect our towels was quite abrupt - saying - ' you have dirty towels- give'!' Then proceeded to inspect the one hand towel I gave them! Some politeness and a smile would go a long way!
However we would definitely stay again , great value?

Both the room and the facilities are pretty basic, but all very nice in this category. The room was clean and comfortable, not too small (walls very thin, so quite a bit of noise, but it wasn't surprising in this kind of building). The bathroom could be improved as the toilet wouldn't flush until you pushed the handle 3-4 times, and the shower head was fixed to the holder with some kind of tape. All staff memberw were very nice and helpful. Breakfast is basic but nice, the breakfast lady was super friendly. Only a few bus stops to the centre. All in all, good value for a three-star guest house.

Friendly staff, very chilled out and let me check in slightly late when I called ahead. Room and ensuite both very clean, room was a totally ok size for one person or a couple, double bed was comfortable, ensuite was compact but contained everything I needed. They'd even managed to fit in a small desk although I didn't need it. I had requested a quiet room which I got (I had no traffic noise even though the building faces onto a main road - my room was at the back I think). I didn't get noise from any neighbouring rooms either, although I suppose it wasn't busy as I was there on a Tuesday night with no major events on. Location is really good with only a short walk to the town centre, or very regular buses if you're carrying lots of stuff. I didn't take the breakfast, as I didn't have time, but the breakfast staff were very friendly as I left my key with them to check out. Overall a perfect quiet bolthole for my business stay. The only thing I would change is to add peppermint tea to the hot drink kit, and maybe one additional power socket closer to the bed!

I enjoyed my stay in Oxford very much. Quiet neighborhood, friendly staff and a delicious English breakfast with great coffee. Rooms and facilities are okay. I had a single room ensuite on the back of the house. So it was nice and quite all night! The room is not huge but absolutely enough for one person. There are tea and coffee facilities in the room, a spacious shower room, a parking place on the backside, which I didn't use. From the guesthouse it's only about 15 mins walk to the city center and there is a bus stop directly in front of the Guesthouse. So quick and easy access to the city centre.
