The Old Black Horse Inn

Good accommodation with helpful staff very near central Oxford

Super helpful staff

Bathroom slight unclean only, otherwise great

Good location, within walking distance of the centre of Oxford. Parking available. Room was clean, bathroom and bed comfortable. Large TV, tea and coffee. Very quiet at night given location.

No breakfast facilities or evening meal offered.

Location close to colleges etc was good, walking distance. It’s about 30 minute walk from train station. Room was clean. Plenty of towels. Shower was fine but hard to get temp right as veered from cold to very hot.

Well, we thought, looking at website, that this was a pub with rooms, but was not an operational pub at all; the place is just rooms. What used to be the pub/bar area is all locked up. It’s not open til 2 in afternoon so we could not deposit bags when we arrived at 11.30, & had to cart them around for 2 hours. Couldn’t leave them next morning either til we were leaving, so, again, had to cart them about til our train at 2. Rooms are up narrow stairs & locks were very basic. Didn’t feel particularly secure. Had to enter at night through back door with a code to access stairs; rest of place was dark & locked up. Guy who met us at 2 didn’t say there’s no duty manager at all, which was a problem when fire alarm went off at 2 a.m. A guy staying there (thank goodness for him) phoned a number on wall & eventually sorted out alarm, while rest of us stood about. Didn’t re-enter with much confidence so had a very poor night’s sleep. So, no, do not recommend I’m afraid.

Great accommodation that was cosy and comfortable with all the facilities we could need. Location was convenient to walk into the city and it was clean with nice beds. Overall perfect for a short stay
