Room was very clean and everything good. Staff very responsive. Had a situation after returning home where we could not find a document we needed. I emailed them twice the day after I stay and response to both less then an hour. We did find it but I appreciated the quick response time. Overall would stay here again.

No issue with sports view but 3rd party listing made it sound like parking was automatic. Spots for free were limited but we were able to use free parking all 3 days and if we needed there is public parking literally next door

Free parking spot Big sunny room Moveable beds, so we could combine the 2 one-person beds, to a big one 15 min walk to the first sightseeing destinations Nice view towards a meddow

Too many stairs. Bringing a big suitcase upstairs is going to be tricky The shower water pressure was not strong enough - this needs some sort of repair The nearest groceries shop is almost 15 minutes away Ambulances were passing on the main street through the whole night, but the windows isolate the sound well enough. Use the thick curtains

This is nicely located on Abingdon Road. I was visiting my daughter who is studying at Oxford and it was a convenient location. The room is decent-sized, good shower, good cupboard for clothes and comfy bed. A window for letting in fresh air. A good kettle in the room.

This isn't a fancy property. It's an old reno and the decor is utilitarian, but it suited my purposes. A place to sleep and shower.

The property is easily accessed and located at the edge of the town which is great if you travel by car as you can avoid the city centre's traffic. Rooms are small but very clean. There is a convenient bus station nearby.

The staff was not very friendly (first time in our 3 weeks stay in the UK that we were a bit disappointed). There is a private parking place at the location but it really was not useful for us. We arrived around 4 pm and that day we couldn't visit too much in Oxford (everything closes at 4pm). The next day we had to check out at 10 am so we had to take our car at a parking place, some miles away and then travel by bus to the city.

For the cost near central Oxford this was a great hotel. Luckily we didn't need the windows open as on a very noisy road, the only downside. I guess you can ask for a room at the back, which would probably be smaller. Ours was a nice large room. The beds were comfy so we slept well. Apart from that it was easy walking or 'bussing' into the Centre. We had Breakfast at a local cafe, so can't comment on the breakfast room or breakfast, though I believe it was fine.

They can't help their busy location, and the windows are double-glazed so not too bad. Also the very steep steps were a bit hairy with suitcases, but there was a safety bar to hold and as long as you were careful it was fine. Not for the infirm though. We were walking the Thames Path so OK for us. I think it is more of a young persons guesthouse, but nevertheless was perfect for our needs.

Very friendly welcome and helpful staff. Spacious, well fitted rooms with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Spotless bedroom and bathroom, comfortable beds and great pressure in the shower. Good space for parking, and an easy walk or bus to the city centre. Can't comment on breakfast as we ate at one of the nearby cafes, but it's the perfect location for a few days away in Oxford. Thankyou!

Everything was excellent. The only addition could be an anti-slip mat in the shower.

It is a very nice guest house. It is nothing fancy, but it is very clean and comfortable. The staff is very helpful, and the guest house is very quiet. We came for work and really enjoyed it (and yes the wifi is great).

The only drawback for us was that it was a bit far from our meetings, so we could not travel back and forth as much as we needed, but that was no fault of the lodge.

The room was close to the city centre. Less than 15 minutes walk, or 5 minutes bus. It was quiet, and very clean. There is a free parking space, for 10 or 11 cars, and the owner was quite helpful!

It would be nice if the room had a small fridge. Or an elevator. And the check-out time is a bit early. (10 am).

What a lovely stay, from the minute I arrived to the minute I left. Really accessible with great parking, the gentleman who greeted me and checked me in was lovely, very friendly and gave me lots of information. The room was clean and comfy, fresh smelling towels, lovely hand washes and plenty tea and coffee. Good quality linen and all in all a very pleasant stay that really exceeded my expectations. Thanks for a very pleasant stay.

Full of sensibilities! There were many hangers in the room and the toilet. The room was spacious and organized having clearly considered the smaller details to make it thoroughly comfortable and convenient. Such a pleasure!

Definitely the stairs. That said, it’s probably a common issue with older buildings. With small luggage the stairs will work, however when we travel as a family and a fair amount to pack in big cases, it’s no fun lugging them up!
