Very pleasant people there.
The room was spacious.
Breakfast was nice.
Free parking.
Lots of eateries, pubs and shops within walking distance.
First glance all was ok, not particularly clean looking or anything other than a cheap b&b but I just needed a bed. Room looked lovely, towel and soaps left in the bed and bathroom was en suite so that was all good. I rushed back to the hospital and came back to the guest house at around 9pm.
I should’ve just got into bed but I noticed something down the side of the bed.. TOE NAILS not just one.. THREE. Then I noticed moldy bedsheet, so I looked around the room and bathroom. Curtains didn’t close and bathroom blind was moldy too. The bed was very firm and noisy but I got in and tried to sleep. People came and went banging as they did so until 1am, then again at 4am and staff prepared breakfast tables at 6:30am very noisily. So didn’t get much sleep!!
Had a shower in the morning, the doors of the shower didn’t fully open so almost lost a nipple sliding between them!!
Didn’t have breakfast grabbed toast and left. Staff were nice and friendly and breakfast looked ok.
I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone unfortunately, it needs work on cleanliness and comfort.
Breakfast was not worth the money for the price to stay at the hotel.
Very budget hotel
Good for family stay.
Easy access to city centre, Oxford University, Brookes University and other places of interest.
Staff are warm and courteous.
The room was small but cozy. It had everything that was needed. A good shower with good pressure and well heated. Yes/coffee station with a kettle, tv, a functional radiator and a comfortable bed.
The breakfast was a bit on the small portion side but to can be topped up with apple, banana, a variety of cereals and yogurt.
The coffee was exceptional, better than most places I have stayed.
The B&B is nearby some shops a pharmacy and a variety of places to eat.
Also, it’s easy to take a bus down to the centre.
