Guest Reviews

• gabriela (8/5): Buena estadía en Oxford - -agradable - desayuno apropiado -buen tamaño habitación y baño - permiten dejar equipaje antes check in - buena wifi - limpieza dudosa en el área de cocina
• Joseph (8/5): -
• Steffani (8/5): - Almost everything about the facility exceeded our expectations Terrible mattresses.
• Widmann (10/5): - The host was very friendly, and the accommodation includes parking, which is especially important as it can be difficult to find free parking in Oxford. The room was spacious and cozy, and we had a really lovely stay.
• Ulrika (10/5): -
• Keith (9/5): -
• Enrico (9/5): -
• Sally (8/5): Friendly and warm with an excellent shower! - Breakfast, shower was excellent, staff very friendly and helpful Room was a little ‘tired’ - a bit of missing paint etc, but the feel of it was pleasant.
• Beryl (10/5): - Free parking
• Katja (10/5): -
• Rosalind (7/5): -
• Helen (8/5): Convenient comfortable place to stay in central Oxford -
• Richard (7/5): Overall pleased with our stay - Diplap was very accommodating and supplied Decaf coffee as we both cannot have caffeine The room was ok the bed was comfortable. Self serve buffet breakfast was plentiful with a good selection. On the face of it the room was clean. However, the dusty lamps and edges of the carpet would benefit from a good clean.
• Yuning (10/5): Awesome service, great location and convenient parking - Breakfast was exceptional and the variety of foods was impressive It was an overall great experience
• yuanguo (7/5): -
• Mitchell (5/5): -
• Bei An (8/5): 不错！就是贵了点 - 如果房里多一个発子则更好
• Sara (9/5): Clean room very convenient for station and central Oxford. - Close to the station and very quiet while Botley Road is closed. Everything was very clean in the room. The communal table at the self service breakfast is a good way to meet others. It's our second visit and this time we discovered the lovely walk to The Perch in Binsey village starting just across the road. The information folder in the room is at least 3 years out of date and could do with updating with some local events etc, or removing completely.
• Benoît (7/5): -
• Kate (9/5): - Great location and lovely to have parking.good value compared to other Oxford hotels. It was clean and comfortable - would happily stay here again.
• Alexander (7/5): Good be exceptional. The good location saves it. - The breakfast set-up was cute. Help yourself continental until 10am. A good choice and very social. I'm not great at sharing jams etc from half-filled jars so didn't bother with that. We booked two KING SIZE rooms and they couldn't have been more different. One was huge (Room 4) with so much space and a massive en-suite,. Room 6 was the exact opposite - cramped with a tiny shower-room. Both did have king sized beds but no way were they comparable even though they were the same price. The luck of the draw. The outside was dirty and neglected so not a great first impression. It wouldn't take much to make it more presentable.
• Brian (8/5): Well located near the train station. Comfortable room. Simple but good breakfast - Well located near the train station. Comfortable room. Simple but good breakfast Nothing
• Lam (10/5): - breakfast very nice
• Zoe (8/5): -
• Jade (6/5): - The location was excellent. Really close to the city center by foot. Our room was spacious. The options at breakfast were nice. Our bathroom looked like it belonged in a hospital, so we were a bit taken aback. And figuring out the logistics around breakfast was a bit weird. I would have liked a bit more info prior to our arrival
• Seiko (9/5): とてもお勧めできるゲストハウスです - 清潔で居心地の良い広さ。住宅街なので静かでスーパーが徒歩4分程の所にありとても便利です。 セルフの朝食は色々な物を準備して下さっていてレンジやトースターやコーヒーメーカーなども完備されているので自分で好きな物を選べました。大きなダイニングテーブルで色々な国籍のゲスト達と食事をする時間はとても楽しい体験でした。 シャワーもしっかり熱めのお湯が出てくれるので長旅や一日中観光した疲れがしっかり取れるのも良かったです。 駅から近くてひたすら真っ直ぐ進むと到着するので迷うこともなく、シティーセンターまでも徒歩圏内なので毎日散歩感覚で観光が出来るし滞在中に電車やバスで遠出するにも便利でした。 またオックスフォードに行く際には是非利用したいです。 リフトが無く階段が狭いので大きなスーツケースを持って階段を上がるのがとても大変でした。でもそれだけです。
• Dan (7/5): good value but the breakfast set up doesn't work - straightforward and simple. Everything was clean and tidy. The bathroom was a bit tired. And the breakfast set up was very strange. All the stuff was piled in the middle of a big table. Everyone had to sit around it but left gaps between each couple, which meant it wasn't guaranteed that you would get seats together. The table is too near the kitchen so everyone was falling over each other to get what they needed from it and the fridge next to it. It should have a bar on one wall with all the stuff and then tables for 2 laid out so you have your own space. As it was we didn't eat breakfast as it was too impractical and awkward.
• Stefania (7/5): - Good location with parking spot. Comfortable bedroom Simple breakfast. Everything was cold
• Pulju (9/5): Excellent place for people who want basic accommodation when visiting Oxford. - Excellent value for money for Oxford. Basic accommodation in old, reworked house. Essentially self-service. (Never saw staff) Good instructions to get there. Excellent breakfast. Only four parking spaces for the 11 or so rooms. I got a space, but people should know that the nearest park and ride lot is 10 to 15 minute walk.
• Amanda (6/5): Not 3 stars - Location. Lack of staff. Not very comfortable. Parking spots are small. Breakfast is ok, but sat in a room with hardly any room to move. If the dining area is full it’s very difficult to move around.
• Luisa (4/5): - Pudimos aparcar en la plaza de parking del hotel. Muy mala relación calidad precio. Es un timo pagar 120 euros por una cochambre de habitación vieja, destartalada y sucia.
• adam (7/5): A comfortable stay in a good location. Host was friendly, accommodating and gave very clear instruct - Cleanliness Soundproofing Breakfast
• Hannah (7/5): Ideal value short stay - Fine for an overnight, and good location for train station. Convenient and easy self-check-in. Room is small and bit dated but perfectly clean and comfortable if you just want a value short stay
• Dawn (7/5): Great host, decent B&B, some discomforts - Comfortable bed, very nice host, decent breakfast and good location with free parking, use of microwave in kitchen No possibility to properly shower in the shared bathroom (bathtub only with a shower head you have to hold), heavy doors on a spring, very tiny room you couldn't quite stand up straight in with the slanted wall, twin beds were really king size bed with how tiny the room was - all in all pretty pricey compared to what we paid elsewhere for more comfort
• Frederique (6/5): - De ligging tov het centrum Het was vergane glorie, schimmel in de badkamer. Het hele ontbijtservies stond midden op een grote tafel waar we zelf omheen moesten zitten, niet heel gezellig.
• Régis (10/5): - Très bien Litterie
• Sofia (7/5): Buon compromesso - La struttura era accogliente e la colazione molto ben assortita. Il self check in è stato molto comodo e semplice grazie ai messaggi inviati in precedenza dal proprietario. La stanza era un po’ piccola e per nostra sfortuna la doccia non funzionava, usciva solo acqua bollente.
• Dora (8/5): Saubere Unterkunft in guter Lage. - Die Nähe zu Bahnhof und Zentrum war für uns als Zugreisende sehr gut. Das kleine Zimmer war sauber und das Frühstücken in der Gemeinschaftsküche in Ordnung. Das französische Bett war extrem schmal.
• Kerstin (9/5): Excellent location and value - Ideally located. Very comfortable and excellent communication from Host Nothing
• Réka (8/5): -
• Mark (7/5): -
• Florent (6/5): -
• JINHUI (8/5): -
• Emma (7/5): -
• Maia (10/5): -
• Cook (6/5): - Reasonable value Bedroom clean and well stocked Property a little shabby but then the price is low
• Devesh (10/5): - Amazing host, amazing place.
• Janet (8/5): -
• Angela (7/5): -
• JOHN (7/5): -
• Guest (6/5): -
• Helen (9/5): Great stay in Oxford - Great location for the city centre. Rooms were clean and spacious, good selection for continental breakfast, all very fresh. There’s not much parking available
• Kathryn (7/5): Short walk into city centre, ok for a night or two. Clean but a bit shabby. Without the excellent breakfast would not se - Breakfast Outside smoking areas caused smoke smell in bathroom. VERY limited parking belonging to the guesthouse
• Hendrik Belmans (7/5): - Goede locatoe, dicht bij station Oxford. De kamer zag er vuil uit.1
• Helene (10/5): I would come back to the Osney Arms Guest House should I come back to Oxford. - Well organized place. Excellent communication for check-in. Flexible check-in and check-out. Plenty of choices for breakfast. Very clean. Very comfortable twin beds. I liked the freestanding bath tube!
• Bruno (6/5): -
• Helen (7/5): Potentially a good find in a very quiet but handy location - The room, breakfast and location were all good for the price paid, and the owner was available and helpful. The 'free parking' was not available to us as the 4 places were all full. No places on the street were available either and we had to use the park and ride in the end which was very inconvenient.
• Jasmine (7/5): Comfortable - Comfy bed, quiet location and walking distance to the city centre, big bath. Didn't see any staff, the breakfast was mostly cereal, and the bedroom and bathroom were a little tired looking with flaking paint, needs a refresh.
• Emma (7/5): - The location was good, easy to walk everywhere. Free parking and we were able to check in early. Basic breakfast choice but enough to fill us up No hot food choice for breakfast and fairly basic selection of food to help yourself to.
• Jeanette (10/5): Really easy with self check in and so great to make my event and come in late with no need to disturb anyone. Lovely sta - Perfect location, very comfortable and great value for money. Check out and breakfast would have been better for me if it was until 11.30am.
• Ian (8/5): Osney arms stay Oxford - The owner was very helpful and friendly, the location was good as the guest house was in walking distance of the Town Centre and Railway station. We came by car and were able to take advantage of one of the parking spaces onsite ,surprisingly little traffic noise heard despite being next to main road, the breakfast was good with a good choice The bed seemed a bit old and awkward to get in and out of and there was just one regency style 2 seater seat in the room which was quite worn , the owner seemed to do his best to keep things clean and tidy , there was just 1 hanging rail stood under the TV for clothes which was manageable as just there a couple of nights , we could only get BBC 1 on the TV but the owner may had put that right if we had got round to asking him
• Jojoba2k (7/5): Nice enough stay, just a shame there's no one to speak to or resolve issues with - It was easy to find and in a good location not too far from the city centre. The room itself was a decent size, the bed was comfortable and it all seemed clean. Breakfast was ok. Overall it was fairly good value for money. We luckily managed to park in one of the 4 small spaces which saved us time/hassle having to go to the park and ride. Not being able to speak to anyone easily is a major drawback. I received emails and a Whatsapp message from the owner with information of how to gain entry to the property, however when I replied to ask if we could arrive early and just park our car on arrival I received no reply. There are only 4 small parking spaces so we did well to get one, although if I had a larger car I would have struggled to fit it in the small space. We had a room towards the back of the property, but I can imagine it must be quite noisy if sleeping at the front (although there is much less traffic at the moment because of the road closures around the nearby bridge). The coffee machine did not work properly - again, there's no one around to help with this.
• Thomas (7/5): - The location worked very well for me (a short walk from the train station en route to my evening event). The self-check process worked ok and my room was ready before 4pm. I booked a single room which was located on the top floor. I did not find this very comfortable and it’s probably only really suitable for a younger person.

• Laura (7/5): -
• Florence Mae Alap (5/5): -
• Peter (10/5): -
• Christiane (7/5): Pas mal, mais la chambre mansardée a été quand même embêtante. - Ah si joli endroit et pas de bruit dans les chambres. Chambre mansardée et si on est grand, on peut à peine se tenir debout.
• EMRE (9/5): -
• Michele (3/5): - Le lit L emplacement et l hygiène
• Daniela (8/5): Solide Unterkunft nah am Stadtzentrum zu einem fairen Preis. - Kurze Entfernung zum Zentrum! Nettes und hilfsbereites Personal! Sauberes Badezimmer! Bequeme Betten! Nah an der Hauptverkehrsstraße gelegen und hellhörig!
• Marc (9/5): - Locatie en hygiene en de kamer
• Chris (9/5): -
• Scott (9/5): -
• Veronica (9/5): - I liked the location, especially being so close to the train station. The beds were very comfy for a single, and the room was quaint and cozy. Would be a great place to stay for a solo traveler!
• Noemi (10/5): -
• Kevin (1/5): didn't stay - I decided not to stay when I saw the accomodation Probably my own fault. I guess I didn't read the description properly but there was a shared bathroom across the hall without a proper shower. As I tend to get up to use the toilet 10-12 times in the night this was no use to me.
• TIM (8/5): Good room for a decent price in an expensive city - Walkable from station. Nice large bathroom. Opportunity to chat with other guests at breakfast. Decent, self serve breakfast Should have been warned about two flights of stairs to the attic room and its low roof.
• kay (8/5): Perfectly adequate for what we required in a good location and easy to find - Its location Parking. But that’s Oxford as parking is always a premium
• Siiri (9/5): -
• Andrew (8/5): Pleasant room and house, quiet - It wasnt that I didnt like it, but I saw no staff
• Sally (8/5): Our stay was good, great variety of breakfast - It had character
• Janice (10/5): - Easy walk (12mins) into central Oxford. No ‘reception’ but full instructions for entry, parking etc supplied before arrival. Previously a pub- now nicely converted into guest house and maintained by a friendly guy who cleans and maintains. The complimentary breakfast with access to kitchen facilities was totally comprehensive. Nothing overlooked ! Excellent
• Kaan (5/5): Was a very convenient location and bed was comfy it was just very run down and the room was very damp also and did not l - Good location and comfy bed Run down and the breakfast was very limited.
• Joy (10/5): - Very comfortable room. The continental breakfast was excellent and the owner was very polite. Everything suited my needs.
• Jackie (6/5): -
• Simon (10/5): Highly recommended for excellent service and easy access to the city - This is the perfect hotel for a short visit to Oxford. It is only a few minutes from the city centre. The rooms are clean and all is recently refurnished. The breakfast is self-service, but there is also microwave and fridge. Although there are no live-in staff the owner Biplab is very responsive and helpful online. Access on arrival was straighforward, as was checkout. I was concerned that there was limited parking on site, but we were abe to find space. Parking is always a major problem in Oxford, so problem solved, with a short walk to the city we had no nee to drive until our departure.
• Josephine (8/5): Comfortable guest house in a convenient location - Room was cosy and clean. Good choice of breakfast items. Excellent value for money. Check-in instructions seemed complicated but were easy to do once there. All was good.
• Kathleen (8/5): Great value stay, walking distance to the city centre - Located a 15 minute walk (or short bus ride) from the Seacroft Park & Ride, the Osney Arms Guest House is an easy walk into the city centre. The communication regarding check-in was excellent and very easy to follow. Our room was clean and comfortable with great quality bedding, towels & toilet roll 😊 There were plenty of options for our self serve breakfast, with an amazing selection of tea bags but instructions to work the coffee machine would have been helpful. All in all, we would definitely stay here again if visiting Oxford. We wished we could have been able to turn down the heating or open a window as the room was too warm for our liking.
• Claire (8/5): -
• Anna (6/5): Good location. could do with some TLC - The host was very friendly and the location was ideal for the city centre. The room wasnt very clean. Lots of cobwebs and the bedding didn't smell particularly clean..
• María (8/5): - The location was great. The breakfast was also good as you could chose what you wanted to take. We were allowed to leave our bags whilst we browsed around the city before leaving. The room was a quite cold and bathroom too. The bathtub was a bit unpractical as it was very easy to spill water everywhere.
• Mona Ramskov (4/5): Guesthouse hospitality - The breakfast, the company, hospitality. The bedsheets were clean I had a room on the top floor. My companion had a room on the first floor, and she was content. So I believe, you can do better :-) The top of the dresser was covered with a dirty blanket (use a clean teatowel instead, please) and there were nowhere to put towels, clothes and bags except the floor. there was no escape route, if the stairs had been blocked (is that legal?)
• Sorina Andreea (5/5): -
• Joanna (9/5): -
• Dolores Marcela (10/5): Alojamiento con encanto y comodidad - La habitación era encantadora, y muy cómoda. El sistema para desayunar muy práctico y completo. Excelente ubicación (hay complicaciones actuales porque el puente de acceso a la estación de tren y a la ciudad está en obra) Todo perfecto!
• Louise (7/5): Nice budget hotel. - This is a self check in and out guest house. Instructions are very clear. Room was clean and comfortable. The common areas were also clean. Breakfast is a help yourself affair. Wide variety of cereals, tea's and jams. Toaster, kettle and microwave available for use. Very nice coffee machine also. Only a 15 minute walk into the city centre. It states 4 car parking spaces available which is a bit of a stretch. But there is a public car park a 3 min walk away.
• Clayton Francis (9/5): - Straight forward process with a great breakfast and good communication Parking was tricky.
• David (8/5): -
