Arrived mid afternoon and was welcomed by a couple of friendly staff. The Dining area was nicely set up and the place was nice and pleasant and clean. I then enquired about evening meal only to be told they did not do food except breakfast and there was no bar. This is not what is advertised on hotels.com so please be aware of this when booking. The bedroom was small but clean and pleasant with an average shower. There was plenty of tea/coffee facilities and water plus a fridge & microwave in the room. All the staff are very friendly. Private off street parking is also a good point and there are shops and restaurant's within a 5 min walk.

We have just spent one night at this wonderful B&B which is located on the outskirts of Oxford city, with excellent transport links into Oxford city centre with a bus stop situated right outside. We stayed in a superior double room located upstairs at the rear of the premises overlooking the car park. The room was immaculate, spacious, comfortable and very quiet. The room was en-suite, comfortable bed, furnished with a desk, armchair, fridge, tv, hairdryer, tea/coffee making facilities. The B&B offers cooked and continental breakfast (at a charge), which we didn't take advantage of as we had other plans. The two ladies we met were very friendly and helpful. We could not fault our brief stay and would certainly stay again.

I booked in for 12 nights as a restaurant bar and garden were advertised Sadly none were available If I had know that before I booked I would have looked elsewhere. Feel I was deceived. The rooms are advertised as sound proof. Believe me. Number 7 isn’t. People above walking around at 6.30am. Door to car park slamming early morning. 3 days out of 12 I had no room service so no milk for my coffee There may be reasons for all of this but it should have been transparent on the description

We stayed overnight whilst visiting family in Oxford, and found it found it easy to check in, with friendly staff. We took breakfast and although it was an additional £10 per person we were happy with the variety and quality of the food. Overall we enjoyed our time there.

Easy to find and ideal for the hospital. Lots of cafes and eating places not too far away. Friendly people. Need a reception sign outside especially if entering from the car park. Parking was easy too. Room was ample, bathroom too. Wi-Fi reception was good. Didn’t realise that breakfast Wasn’t included in the price but easy to order there. Bit disappointed with the cooked breakfast, despite me forewarning them that I was gluten intolerant and being assured that they could cater, as I could only have crispy bacon &beans..can’t eat eggs. Made up with cereal, yoghurt and toast. Plenty of choices for normal eaters. Easy to check out too.

The Oxford Guest House is perfectly located for visiting The Kilns (CS Lewis house), Holy Trinity Church, and the local parks. It's very close to the bus stations, which made visiting the college campuses and city center very easy. Check-in was simple. The room was small but comfortable. The bathroom was accessibility-rated and very nice. My only complaint was that the electric kettle was pretty dirty and caused floaters in the tea. I wasn't able to get it clean myself. Overall, it was a very good location for my trip and I would stay here again.

My cousin and i spent just one night at the Oxford Guest House because it was convenient to Heathrow for a morning flight. The bus to Heathrow leaves just 2 blocks away. It was also convenient to bus service to the center of Oxford. We were concerned that our twin room was in the front of the house which is on a busy street but it was not at all noisy during the night. The room was small but comfortable. The bathroom was very nice and clean. The young man who checked us in was pleasant and helpful.
