Stayed here at short notice, room was comfortabale and clean. Service was great, I had a small issue (my fault) and the hotel was really helpful supporting

Lovely comfortable stay, very clean, good night sleep lovely pillows. Didn’t have anything for breakfast as it was too busy but it did look lovely
4.0 / 10.0
It was exactly what I needed, a comfortable room for one night. The room was clean and tidy with space to put things down (not always the case) and it was just fine. My only issue - but it wasn't too much of an issue - was that my room was right next to the front door so I heard as folk went in and out.
3.0 / 10.0
Essentially a hostel. Not a terrible stay, but very basic accommodation in a basic, unimpressive (and poorly insulated) house. The room was in a dormer, and very, very small with a shared bathroom that only had a bathtub.

Really clean. Vety comfy bed. Good choice at breakfast. Allowed to check in early. Great location, only about a 20 minute walk to city center.

The Osney Arms was perfect for us staying over night while we attended a wedding near-by. Biplab was wonderfully welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed.
Our room was lovely and had everything we could need. We’d definitely stay again and reccomended it to others.
6.0 / 10.0
We had a spacious room, which was great. The continental breakfast options were also great. The interior (and exterior) is in need of a very deep clean and paint refresh. It is looking and feeling worn out and tired. Adding to all this is the need to declutter, especially the dining room and kitchen. It was well located.
5.0 / 10.0
We arrived early and were greeted by a very pleasant young man who gave us our key and was apologetic that the room wasn’t quite ready. As it was only 10.30am we were delighted to be able to leave the car, use the bathroom and walk into Oxford. The room was quite small and could do with a paint refresh but it was clean and quiet and we had a great nights sleep.

Good location for centre of Oxford. Parking about OK. Owner/manager accessible when needed. It's what you should expect in a decent guest house.

A bit forbidding from the outside, but very nice inside, and the owner was friendly and helpful. Very nice place!
4.0 / 10.0
Exactly what we needed and was a manageable walk in the town centre & back. I think a sign for the fridge would make it clearer that it's in the breakfast area rather than the kitchen but good selection for the continental breakfast
10.0 / 10.0
Location of the property was perfect, walkable into the centre of Oxford and also to where we were attending a wedding party.
The breakfast was amazing and VERY generous.
The only issue was the door to our room opened the wrong way which made getting in and out challenging, particularly with baggage!

Great value and super clean bathrooms.
3.0 / 10.0
The location was great if you are traveling by train as it is walking distance from the station. The property could be really nice with just a few upgrades, however the carpet and bathroom felt a bit dingy. The sheets and towels were of nice quality and very clean. There is no plug in the bathroom or near the mirror in the bedroom so blow drying hair was tricky. The breakfast was fine and the coffee was good.
10.0 / 10.0
This is not a five star hotel but a very comfortable, clean and convenient location. I will definitely stay there again.

We had no idea what to expect but everything was very good indeed. Breakfast outstanding and the bed very comfy. Will definitely recommend.

This place is a guesthouse. This means you’ll share a bathroom and other common spaces with other guests. Had a top floor room. Shared a bathroom with four other rooms; this bathroom had no shower, but a shared bathtub. The place was fine and serviceable if you don’t mind the shared arrangements.
3.0 / 10.0
The room we had was on the front of the building. So road noise was a bit of a problem. Not sure if some of that was due to the fact that just up the road the were major water works going on. The bed was comfortable. Like most hotel and guest houses in the UK. It was a little run down and could do with some tidying up.

Very nice host. We arrived well before check in time and he had our rooms ready soon after arrival.

Great place, well thought out and the room was spacious, very nice continental breakfast, great bed, and really worked well for us. The only negative was parking, lack of.
8.0 / 10.0
The sheets and towels supplied were spotless, which is very important, although the public areas were a touch shabby. The help yourself breakfast was very good. Parking was very hit or miss, which could be tricky in a busy and unfamiliar city.

Very convenient and accommodating.
5.0 / 10.0
Everything was fine except for the difficulty of driving from city centre to the Guest House because of closure of Botley Road. Not the fault of the Guest House but it would be nice if this information can be provided, especially for people driving EV.

Very comfortable
4.0 / 10.0
Be aware the owner isn't on site and you use a key box to enter property and find your keys labelled, but with all the other guests on the table inside. There is also a basket of spares in the same room and in the kitchen so room security not guaranteed. Car parking is limited to 4 spaces. Owner was helpful when I wanted to leave car til evening of departure day. plenty of choice for continental breakfast with good dating food hygiene labelling. Even more so there was good ingredients lists on everything.
8.0 / 10.0
Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was simple but had all we needed, although not all guests had a great understanding of food hygiene! The owner was lovely, but the fool with a chainsaw in the garden at 7am on a Saturday was less lovely. Absolutely everything we needed and really clear instructions on what was what!

Ad is misleading, property is unoccupied, self check in and out. Room very cold, no heating until 5pm and off by 9am in morning. Very limited parking. Property owner was new and responsive to issues.
5.0 / 10.0
We weren’t sure what to expect as the reviews were so varied. A chap met us upon arrival, our room wasn’t ready but that was fine as we were early. We managed to park at the front of the house. Our room was spacious, bed very comfortable. A fan was in the room but not needed. Bed linen and towels were nicely laundered, bright white and soft. Tea, coffee, biscuits, kettle in room. We were very happy with our room (no 6) Shower was powerful, clean, modern.
Noise could be heard, or hideous, but that is to be expected when staying in a city. Windows weren’t modern but an effort had been made to cut out the noise.
A lady was about at breakfast. It wasn’t the most amazing breakfast but it was free and the coffee was a machine with real coffee beams. There is one big table for all guests to sit around, little pots of greasy flowers on a all side tables.
My overall impression was they were making a huge effort to make people welcome and make people feel at home.
Pound for pound, and how close the hotel was from the centre I think we had a very good price and stay.

The room cost £132.00 and the carpet was full of stains, I was pleased I had packed my slippers. The carpet was absolutely disgusting
