The carpeting in my room needed to be cleaned - to the point where I didn't want to walk on it in bare feet. The room is in desperate need of new paint. That said, the sheets and bathroom were clean, the breakfast was hearty and the breakfast room and kitchen well stocked and clean. The location was a convenient walk to the train station, laundromat, grocer, park, and restaurants.

Older accommodation but the rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfast is self service but there is a really good selection of different items, various kinds of tea and a great coffee maker. We would definitely stay there again.

oxford stay

The guest house was as expected. It was all self service from check in to leaving the only staff member we saw was the cleaner. The room and bathroom were clean and tidy. The food available for breakfast was fine with a good variety Negatives were - The bathroom mirror in room 3 was cracked all across its width. The sink in the kitchen adjacent to the dinning room was dirty and the cleaner seem to wash up the breakfast dishes without cleaning it.

Poor hot

Seen better days. Could do with a clean up and a lick of paint. Breakfast was poor. Only 1 slice of cheese left. Cold meat had run out, as well as boiled eggs. Not worth the money. Mold round the shower

Quirky but good

Quirky, slightly chaotic DIY guest house converted from an Edwardian pub. Once we got used to the self-service breakfast in the communal dining room, we found it a really comfortable stay. There's everything you could want for a continental breakfast and a really good coffee machine, With full access to the kitchen it's ideal for heating up an evening takeaway or even cooking a meal. Bitlab, the proprietor was around in the mornings and always helpful. Although our room was almost straight onto the street at ground level, which was slightly disconcerting to start with, there was very little traffic noise (more from other guests actually). Decorated to a good standard, you get the feeling that it was fitted out from an auction house. Nothing matches, but so what. Oxford is the city of bicycles, so come by train or be prepared for park and ride and lots of walking. Don't rely on the four parking spaces at the property! But you can also hire an electric bike or even an electric scooter.

Good value for money.

Outside of building misleading. Inside is clean and light. Our double ensuite had a view over the street, was clean and well equipped. Lots of hot water, radiators that can be adjusted, comfortable bed, tea making facilities. Very happy considering the price we paid. Breakfast was ok. Only issue is parking. We were lucky to get a place outside. Also major roadworks on route into town. But overall very good value for money.

Cheap and cheerful, does the basics well and good value for money. Within walking distance from Oxford station and the shopping centre (at a push). Room is small, but cozy, good for a short stay.
