What guests think
Adams Guest House is a budget, bus-connected B&B offering clean, comfy but dated rooms, friendly hosts, and a convenient setting near shops and eateries, alongside mixed comments on cleanliness, maintenance, and bathroom size and hot-water pressure.
Many guests highlight good value, warm rooms and comfortable beds. On the downside, the breakfast is very basic with an early, short service window, some advertised times or cooked options proved inaccurate, and check-in can require phoning as staff are not always on site. Overall, expect a simple, no-frills stay that trades polish for price and convenience.

The stay was okay. There is parking available and it is on the bus route. The room was clean but the rug is a tripping hazard and a crack on the wardrobe which was covered with masking tape. Not a good look.

Stayed for two nights on a motorcycle trip. Adams guest house is very conveniently situated for Oxford city centre and easily accessible from the ring road. It is on a main road but was very quiet at night. There are plenty of shops and places to eat within a short walk. There is parking for two cars at the front. The room was clean and comfortable although the decor is looking a bit tired, but that doesn't detract from a comfortable experience. I only eat flakes for breakfast but there was plenty of choice of cereals, breads, fruits, yoghurt etc for breakfast and the coffee was good. Manager and staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Definitely would stay again if coming to Oxford

We stayed for one night. It was a great base for going to see a show in Oxford. It was a 35 minutes walk, or you could bus from very close to the property. There were a couple of pubs, and local shops including M and S food. We luckily had use of the parking space outside and the owners asked us straight away if we needed parking. Although the decor was a bit dated, the room was clean and warm. The bed was comfortable, en-suite was ok. Tea and coffee was supplied in the room. Breakfast was good, mainly continental, cereal toast we were also offed a fried egg and there was plenty of tea and coffee, a good range of jam and marmalade. This was really good value for a B and B in Oxford. We would use it again if we needed somewhere to stay.

A practical option for travellers with a bus stop 30 seconds from the front door into central Oxford. Very friendly hosts who were always willing to help - for instance, offering us parking vouchers for next-door Lonsdale Road where I parked for two days.

Once we were able to get into the house - nobody was there and four different number were posted to call for assistance - the inside was basic but okay. The rooms were fine - the bed was comfortable the area the staff friendly when we finally met them. Breakfast was good. Parking on site is very limited, but street parking is available. Bus service into the city is frequent. There are lots of local dining and shopping options a short walk away.

You get exactly what you paid for. Everything was okay. NO PARKING on the guest house. You may park on the side street for 3 hours during the day and overnight after 20:00 until 11:00. Tired looking room, bathroom door didn’t close properly, basic breakfast. However they provided everything you needed - towels, shampoo, soap, hair dryer, kettle, tea, etc. The area was safe and quiet, buses very close to the guest house, which was convenient.

It's very much a wysiwyg place. The room was on the smallish side. Bathroom was small and simple. Breakfast was continental with few options. On the other hand, it was very clean, and the value is unbeatable if you intend to see Oxford on a budget, and you don't mind walking a bit (2 km) through a very nice neighbourhood to the city centre. Would stay again.

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.

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.

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.

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)

It's very much a wysiwyg place. The room was on the smallish side. Bathroom was small and simple. Breakfast was continental with few options. On the other hand, it was very clean, and the value is unbeatable if you intend to see Oxford on a budget, and you don't mind walking a bit (2 km) through a very nice neighbourhood to the city centre. Would stay again.

Fab location - can get bus straight into town outside the guest house! Staff are really friendly and parking onsite was a bonus!

Small single room, basic but everything necessary for an overnight stay. On a busy main road which might not suit everyone. Very close to sainsburys/tesco express, wine bars, and on bus route into oxford, very convenient. Sensibly priced.

Stayed for two nights on a motorcycle trip. Adams guest house is very conveniently situated for Oxford city centre and easily accessible from the ring road. It is on a main road but was very quiet at night. There are plenty of shops and places to eat within a short walk. There is parking for two cars at the front. The room was clean and comfortable although the decor is looking a bit tired, but that doesn't detract from a comfortable experience. I only eat flakes for breakfast but there was plenty of choice of cereals, breads, fruits, yoghurt etc for breakfast and the coffee was good. Manager and staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Definitely would stay again if coming to Oxford

We stayed for one night. It was a great base for going to see a show in Oxford. It was a 35 minutes walk, or you could bus from very close to the property. There were a couple of pubs, and local shops including M and S food. We luckily had use of the parking space outside and the owners asked us straight away if we needed parking. Although the decor was a bit dated, the room was clean and warm. The bed was comfortable, en-suite was ok. Tea and coffee was supplied in the room. Breakfast was good, mainly continental, cereal toast we were also offed a fried egg and there was plenty of tea and coffee, a good range of jam and marmalade. This was really good value for a B and B in Oxford. We would use it again if we needed somewhere to stay.

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.

Dining
Breakfast is simple continental (cereals, toast, yogurt, fruit), with occasional fried egg or beans; coffee is often praised. The serving window is short and early, and some guests found advertised times or cooked options inaccurate.

I liked that it was a big room and very spacious for me to spread out. My only complaint was that breakfast was limited to a one hour window from 8-9am. I was unable to have breakfast due to the limited window and my trip plans not being able to work around it.

The room was comfortable and well equipped but the whole place was a little dirty around the edges and could use a good cleaning. The breakfast was basic but adequate. Loved the UK-themed salt and pepper shakers on each table!

You get exactly what you paid for. Everything was okay. NO PARKING on the guest house. You may park on the side street for 3 hours during the day and overnight after 20:00 until 11:00. Tired looking room, bathroom door didn’t close properly, basic breakfast. However they provided everything you needed - towels, shampoo, soap, hair dryer, kettle, tea, etc. The area was safe and quiet, buses very close to the guest house, which was convenient.

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.

It was convenient, good value and near to shops, restaurants and transport - and surprisingly quiet for a main road. However there were no staff on site except for breakfast, the room was very cramped (it was sold to us as a double but was in fact a triple), the shower was almost impossible to get hot, there was no tea in the tea-making facilities, and the breakfast table having a knife and fork led us to expect a cooked breakfast which was not available. The door, windows and banisters all needed painting and were currently in a very dingy looking dark brown, though they had made a good effort to decorate for Christmas. We would not go there again.

This review is of their "Basic Single Room" - other rooms looked much cleaner. This room is on the top (2nd UK, 3rd US) floor. As expected, it's very small. What I did not expect is a Velux window that I (6') had to stand on the bed to open and close (including its blind), and use excessive force to get to move. It is on a steep roof, so not a suitable secondary fire escape route (and no cable ladder). All the shower room plumbing was via a macerator, with no venting apparent. The shower pan filled with a significant amount of water without the macerator starting. I assume that this is why the shower curtain was dirty and mouldy. After my first night, I raised the issues with the (I assume) owner. They offered me a double room on the floor below, which was cleaner, but I decided to book a better hotel. It also had a macerator.
