Osney Arms Oxford

Great location, well set up and clean with everything anyone needs. Self service breakfast was good with loads of choice. The room and bathroom were well appointed and nicely decorated. Overall a lovely place for a stay in Oxford

Nothing. Everything was fine

Prima voor een kort verblijf

Fijne, rustige kamer met goede faciliteiten (koffie/thee, föhn). Ontbijten was ook mogelijk (niet uitgebreid, maar voldoende). De communicatie met de eigenaar was goed: we werden goed geïnformeerd over waar we de sleutel konden vinden etc. De locatie is buiten het centrum, maar wel op loopafstand. We kunnen deze plek aanbevelen, maar verwacht er niet al te veel van.

Het bed was schoon en goed opgemaakt, wel had de matras een kuil. De ramen kunnen niet open.

Our stay was very successful and the guest house very homely.

I chose the property against some of the familiar chains available, because of the parking. Despite there being only 4 spaces, I was always able to park during our 3 night stay. The property is of typical "English" construction and was therefore interesting for my Russian wife. The breakfast was more than adequate and the place was clean. Although the check-in procedure is unsupervised, it was all very smooth and well-organised. We were even able to say hello to the owner one morning, while we sipped cava at a table outside, when he turned up with provisions on his bike.

While the breakfast included plenty of fruit, we would have liked something like cucumber and tomato, maybe peppers to slice onto bread.

Central location but accommodation needs a little TLC!!

The accommodation was really central and in a good location. The check in process was straight forward as it was supposed to be self service (the landlord was there so made it much easier) The breakfast was also self service but we didn’t use those facilities.

There are major road works between the city centre and the accommodation but we were not told this. Our Google maps was taking us straight there but we have to divert all the way round which took another 45 minutes. Would have been good to mention this in the messages we were sent on how to enter the property. It was very basic accommodation that needed updating and some tlc! We probably wouldn’t stay there again but would definitely visit Oxford again.

A very badly run guest house in need of some tender loving care especially for the price of rooms th

Extremely poor. There is no one on duty so it's a case of help yourself. The coffee machine showed a fault, grounds needed emptying but there were no instructions on how to do this and along with another guest we had to go without coffee.

My bedroom, room 1 was extremely dated. The bin hadn't been emptied. I had an accessible bathroom that was extremely dated and rusty in places. The very small wash sink only ran hit water, no cold water. The shower curtain had half its clips missing and the shower seat was dirty and rusty. It wouldn't take much money to replace a few items and make it less tatty.

Good location

We arrived and were lucky to get last one of the 4 parking spaces. Comfortable bed Spacious room Good shower Fab location

On arrival only 1 key (spare to our room as previous guest had not returned it) no front door key. No note to say this lucky the cleaner was there to phone manager to explain about the key. This also ment our room could not be tided during our stay. Breakfast was OK if you liked cereals and bread ( no toaster) . We knew it was self service and Continental. Not the greatest Continental breakfast I have had. No one to top up the juice in the fridge when it ran out . Coffee machine was switched off one morning so 6 guests sat waiting for coffees until 1 guest switched it on . With an error code coming up on it .

Good, clean and descent value for money

Good value for money, clean and functional. The room had all the basics and plenty of towels. I wasn't expecting anything else for the price I paid

It may of been my mistake but the room I booked had the bathroom across the hall and I think it was shared. It was a pain having to leave the room to go to the loo especially in the middle of the night

Decent room, good size, nice stay.

It was a great location. The decor was fine, the room was nicely laid out. The bedding was lovely. Coming into the room was really nice, bright, clean, lovely laid out bed with plenty of cushions/pillows. Shower was a decent size. There was a corner toilet which was unusual but really helped maximise space in the bathroom. Biscuits, tea and coffee laid out, which is more than I've often had. There was also almost a coat rack for hanging clothes up on which was helpful for popping a suit/dress up on.

There was a dirty mug and spoon. The toilet roll was damp, only the one on the spindle so I'm not sure if it was one of those techniques for making it stick together. There was another toilet roll on the cistern so not a huge issue. Entry way into the room was tight so I'd recommend asking about accessibility if you've got any mobility issues. (We were room 5). It wasn't really obvious externally when approaching from Bicester way, better signage could have been helpful. I didn't encounter any staff so we didn't raise the issue of the mug while there, as neither of us drink tea or coffee anyway.

Close to the train station, easy to find. Food at restaurant was great! TV was exceptional!

It was a little challenge to navigate a separate bathroom but I knew when I booked that it was.

Poor

The bed was comfortable.

The check-in was terrible! We never received the email with the entry code, so another nice customer let us enter with them. The bathroom faucet was loose on the sink, and the fixtures were rusty. The room was right on the street corner and noisy. There were no decorations on the walls, like a hospital room. It was a little far from the railway station for walking.

Pleasant

The bed was very comfortable.

Extremely small room in the top of the house, I stand 6ft2" and was constantly hitting my head on the angle of the roof. Breakfast was self service and very limited. Staff seemed non existent.

.The location was accurate. The continental breakfast was perfectly fine

The room and bathroom were way too small for the price. Breakfast room is too hot facing the morning sun.

clean and cute

The Guest House is near the rail station and the city center (walking distance). It was very clean and good equipped, very cute house. We didn't see any of the hosts but the communication with the guests works good

А bathtub as the only option to take a shower in a place with more guest rooms is not comfortable and hygienic.

Good, but pricey for what you get.

The location, comfort and cleanliness was great. Some vegan breakfast options.

The value for money. The room was as expected, as was the location but the breakfast options were lacking. I believe being in Oxford is justification for the price, but I've had better stays in London B&Bs for less money.

Comfortable.

Entry to premises went without a hitch . I had heard of difficulties with key box entry to other places. Good coffee.

Wobbly tap in the bathroom. Would prefer Jam in a jar or small bowl not in plastic packets.
