We were very happy with the location of the hotel—there’s a bus station just 3–5 minutes away. The bed was very soft and comfortable. We stayed in Room 8. It was a bit challenging to carry our suitcase up to the room, but once inside, the space was more than enough for two people. The room could actually fit three, but I think it feels much more spacious and comfortable for two. We also really appreciated the heated drying rack and the very spacious bathroom.

This hotel is pretty good overall. The only thing that bothered me was the poor soundproofing—you can still hear the noise from the street at night.

Nice, spacious room with all that we needed. Very nice bath with a lot of water pressure (also hot). One of the best showers I ever had. Often there is just a drizzle but here it was a proper flow! Car park right behind the house and despite a pub downstairs and restaurants, bars all around surprisingly quiet. Bar staff was very helpful with check in and all other things we asked about. The location just on the edge of the town centre is perfect for getting around on foot. Proximity to plenty of restaurants gave lots of options for breakfast and dinner.

One of the two beds was a bit on the soft side. Some corners could have been cleaned a bit better

It was a perfect location for the venue and amenities, within a short walk. The bed was comfortable and nicely laid out. The entrance was at the rear of the property so there was no need to keep going through the bar entrance. We had a twin room facing a busy street but could not really hear a lot of noise at all

There needs to be more lighting in the room as there were only wall lights. We had to buy some Mr Muscle to unclog the drain in the shower cubicle, these sort of things should be done by the staff. Bar/restaurant seemed to be shut rather early, we were quite disappointed as we would have liked a meal in there or to chill in the bar. Fridge in the room was warm

It was within a good walking distance of the train station, not too far from the shops, and situated exactly where I needed to go. The owner was friendly and helpful. Getting in and out was no problem, very easy to do. The room was a bit small, but for a single person that was rarely in the room, it was exactly what I needed. Comfy bed, working facilities, exactly what I needed.

The bedroom window was difficult to close at night. The fridge was not rather clean and made a loud noise, so I had to turn it off at the plug at night. There was a broken hairdryer in the drawer. One night, there was a strange sewage smell in the bathroom, and I am unsure whether this was from inside or outside wafting in through the window.

It's in a lively part of town close to the centre, and I was concerned that being an Inn it might be noisy, but the soundproofing was really good and I didn't hear a peep from the bar even though I was really close to it and people there were clearly having a very good time.

In some contexts it's described as a 'B&B' but they don't serve breakfast. That's no problem, as there's the perfect, good-value breakfast place two minutes' walk away, Tick-Tock on the Cowley Rd. It's a really old building, basically 17c. with appropriate upgrading, so narrow creaky stairs. 'Characterful', I'd say, again not a problem for me.

This was a nice and clean room. I am most happy because of its location. It is across the bridge from the busy city center. It was calm in our neighborhood. It is across the street from a great pub, Oranges and Lemons. It was a stone's throw to a venue to see music. We saw music performances twice. We ate at the Oranges and Lemons pub at least three times. The pub has the cheapest best English breakfast we had on our tour. This Inn was a perfect relax and respite.

All English Inn ceilings are low.

10 min walk into oxford centre was fine (and beautiful) room was well organised and spatious - tv, fridge etc all working - excepting a fuse tripped on the 2nd night so no power to those sockets no breakfast provided - and also no food served mon-thurs - but numerous places inside 5 min walk e.g. tick tock cafe for breakfast - or angel pub (opposite) was seving food until 10 separate entrance from pub entrance

room was in the 2nd floor of 17th century coach house - doors are 5 feet tall - i am 6 foot 3.... awkward to get through with luggage etc - i was fine but not for anyone who has mobility difficulties ....

The room was comfortable. I liked that there was a small refrigerator. Whoever furnished the room seems to have taken extra care to make it as pleasant as possible. The location was convenient, not far from Magdalen College.

There wasn't any bag storage available when we arrived before checkin time. The hallway and stairs were somewhat difficult to navigate, with low ceiling clearance. There is no breakfast provided.

Fantastic location!!! Great restaurants steps out the door and a market. Short walk to the best shopping and just so cute. The gentleman that checked us in was super helpful and friendly. Loved the charm of the old building. Nice room size and bathroom size.

Our room was upstairs through a slanting hallway and then down a tight spiral staircase that ALSO had a steep slanting roof line so that you had to contort to get down the small door that was entry to our room. Leaving the room was easier as you could simply crawl on your hands and knees. Unfortunately I am super claustrophobic and I struggled a great deal with this set up. If you are cool with this description and can enjoy the nature of it being an old building, you’ll love this room. Also, don’t even think about bringing a suitcase to the room, small bags only.

The Black Horse Inn was very good value for Oxford. It's very well located, within easy walking distance of city centre (about 15 mins) but there is also a very good bus service, with buses (which are cheap) every few minutes to city centre and to train station. There is also a very good choice of restaurants and pubs close by. The rooms are very quirky and you do have to mind your head a bit at times if you're tall given that it's a 17th century building but it has real character. Our room was clean, it had all we needed and the en-suite and electric shower were good. It was very good base for the three nights we spent in Oxford and the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. We would recommend it.

Our only slight quibbles were that the bed was a bit soft for our liking and the traffic noise,, although we got used to that and it didn't stop us sleeping.
