OYO Lonsdale Guest House

It was not very clean. The soap was almost finished but they didn’t renew it. There was a photo of a restaurant in the photos but in reality it didn’t exist. The only good thing was that it was convenient.

Easy to pass if driving so need to keep your wits about you. Better signage might help. Parking limited but available. Staff are actually at the next door property but the bell is connected and someone came quickly to let me in and show me round. They were friendly and communication was good. Room was basic but very clean. The bed was comfy, the shower good and there were tea and coffee making facilities. If you're out most of the day exploring what more do you need. The location is good with lots of shops and plenty of places to eat nearby. Buses into Oxford centre are regular and it's an easy straight shot in.

This room should not be rented out during summer. The room was in the attic (sort of a third floor), up 4 short flights of stairs, with two large roof windows facing full afternoon sun. The room was unbearably hot during the entire afternoon/evening and well into the night every day of my 6 day stay. I was out of the room each day by about 8am, so I am not sure at what time of day it became unbearably hot, but I suspect if may have been by early afternoon. I could not endure spending any more time than absolutely necessary in this room as it was making me feel physically unwell due to the stress of the heat each and every day. The separate shared bathroom (toilet, vanity sink and shower) in the adjacent room was also unbearably hot, so much so that as soon as I got out of the shower and dried myself, I was instantly drenched in sweat and needed to get out of the tiny bathroom because I could hardly breathe. The room was so small you couldn't even open the door more than a third of the way due to it hitting the vanity sink. I had to spend time at the local supermarkets and restaurants from 5-approximately 10pm, to seek refuge there during the most unbearably hot hours for this accommodation. There was a small desk fan and the windows did open so I could finally cool the room down by about 1-2am if I opened the windows by about 10pm. I slept poorly, due to the heat. This room would pose a health hazard to many people, the young, old or any with an underlying medical condition.

Impersonal contacts - by phone and entry numbers. A reasonably efficient sterile experience. Is this the future? Reviex Refused!! So you want only good ones!

GreT location about @ mile from Oxford and great museums. Very helpful staff. This is a guest hiuse not a hotel.
