Prisvärt boende nära centrum
Ett litet B&B på promenadavstånd till centrum. En bra dusch och en bekväm säng är allt man behöver. Gratis parkering på gården

Horror customer service
Terrible stay which started by a manager running into the car park and screaming at us before we established we were actually guests. When we complained about his attitude he told us we could leave.

Great place!
This is a great no frills option for staying in Oxford. The front desk staff was helpful, informative, and friendly. It’s just a short walk from the town center and all of the Colleges. And it’s quiet since it’s not in the middle of town. I’d stay there again for sure.

This was just what we were looking for in our visit to Oxford. Easy parking, close enough to walk into town and visit several of the Colleges. The staff was great, stayed up late to get us checked in. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Hôtel correct hyper bien localisé à 10 min du cent
Salle de bain petite et pas très pratique. Assez ancien mais propre. Ce qui est pratique c'est le parking inclus et l'accès à Oxford Church et tous les magasins y compris la restauration donc un grand plus.

Super clean. Very comfortable bedding. Air con was a big plus on a very hot day. Also staff was super kind and allowed us the ability to check in early with our bags. Also convenient access to all the sights. Would highly recommend.
