4/10 Fair

It s really close to the city center
Valentina, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

If you like filthy rooms and bed bugs this might be the best adress in Oxford for you!
Alexander, 19-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent, very affordable stay in Cowley

As advertised, inexpensive and functional. The host was accommodating and the location is good, on Cowley Road, with a bus stop right across the street. The house is not new or recently refurbished and the furnishings are haphasard, but wvebrything was clean and functional. A good place to stay on a budget.
Gregory, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Wouldn’t stay again

Good location, but not very clean.
Joanne, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hell Hole

Everything about this place was terrible. Wouldn't stay here again even if you paid me.
Kulbir, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good position, close to buses, supermarket and food places to eat. Clean Is a good word... but not for this place...lot of work to do about that
Silvia, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

A tiny room in a guest house with makeshift arrangements. Bed mattresses are not proper, and noise from the neighbouring rooms / street can be disturbing. Tea/Coffee bags were available Location has some dining options and bus stop just a road across
Mandhir, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Central to some good dining options. Water did not drain from shower. Very tired hotel.
Valentina, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don't stay! Spend more and feel safe
Tim, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The dirtiest hotel I have ever been in. It was that dirty we booked into an hotel. Avoid this place like the plague.

4/10 Fair

It was ok for a solo business trip

Hotel room was as described but very dated and the light did not work. Ok for a basic trip not spending much time in the room
Sarah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Basic stay which fit my purpose

Responsive and helpful host/owner, average condition property. You get what you paid for.
Ashoka, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was clean and the bathroom had been recently remodeled. Checking in was a bit difficult with the management not on premise. The owners are making efforts to upgrade the property and could spend some time tidying up the front parking area and entry which is not very inviting.
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The propertys unsafe, run down, service or lack of is poor, only good thing was the price, everything else was terrible
Ellis, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Lavinia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Seemed a bit run down could do with a clean and polish Up grade on bedroom furniture at the same time
Robin, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

luke, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Never again

Terrible place dirty room to small the worse place I've ever been.
Alberto, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Only for the needy and despite.

The hotel is a mess, very cheap for a reason. Went to hear a concert at the O2. Should have known better and read previous reviews. Shame as the property is in a prime location to make a killing. Needs a good scrub
Shower room not clean, mould everywhere
Unusual stain on the curtains, looks like a man has wiped himself down after night time activities
Toilet floor a unhygienic mess
Sick on the front entrance lobby
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The toilet was so dirty, i couldnt even stay there i had to move out..
Pamela, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid at all costs!

What a hovel. Obviously the health and safety inspectors have never visited this place. We have had to apologise profusely to our sub-contractor who we put up there for a couple of nights. Moved him out as soon as we could find another hotel.
Filthy light switch
Bathroom flooring
Bedside tabletop
Powerpoints in room :(
John, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Property is well located in Cowley, surrounded by restaurants and walking distance to the center. The hotel is ill maintained, the room is not comfortable, the TV did not work, it was not very clean, in summary, we expected more for the price we paid. Would not return
Fernando, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Filthy dump. Asked for photographic proof of identity despite having paid in advance!
