Beautiful room, super comfy bed, friendly staff, quiet at night and delicious breakfast. Great location just on the edge of town and handy for the park and ride. Would definately recommend to others and stay again.

It's really comfortable and clean, this was our 2nd time stopping and will stay again. The restaurant downstairs is great if you like steak and as its a little way out of the centre it's really quiet at night
This guest house is great but as an old building my only complaint is that the windows rattle a lot which can be quiet disturbing at night

The room was enough functional and satisfactory.
The breakfast in it's steakhouse restaurant was excellent.
We've also enjoyed the aged cote de boeuf for dinner which was marvelous.
We had difficulty in finding a good parking lot near the hotel.

The room was lovely - large, well equipped and very nice decor, with a good-size bathroom. Bed was very comfortable, and breakfast was generous - any option from the brunch menu plus continental. Very close to the railway station and Said Business School. Restaurant downstairs was excellent for an evening meal.
There is no air conditioning at all - not surprising in a building of this age, A very effective fan in the bedroom was most welcome but the room was still very warm, in late June. Also the door at the bottom of the stairs to the rooms is locked at night, and was not yet unlocked when we came down to breakfast, which was disconcerting. I understand the security precaution, but in the event of a fire, we'd had to have walked past the kitchen to the small courtyard out back - also locked off. Just a note for management to consider and perhaps advise guests of emergency exits.

Very good breakfast with multiple choices from the menu—nice presentation. Bed is extremely comfortable. Room is very clean with efficient and caring housekeeper. Inn is located in a quiet neighborhood very close to train and bus transport, and easy walk to city, restaurants, etc.
Room really could use a comfortable chair, and there are no wall/door hooks for hanging clothes. There’s a nice , upscale restaurant, but we did not use on our chosen night because there were young children running and screaming—surprising that this was allowed.

+ Room well equipped and clean
+ No problems with WiFi, no problems to stay longer in lounge after check-out
+ Silent street. No noise or smell from the restaurant.
- Little inconsistent staff behavior. One member was very nice and helpful, the other looked like I am bothering him.
- The breakfast is rather boring.
- Little bit out of town. Not far but out.

nothing disliked.

Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean and roomy. Location convenient enough to walk into town.
There are only ~8 rooms in the hotel and the staff seemed to forget who we were every time we walked in the door. Breakfast was fine, convenient since it's just downstairs but not exceptional. Rooms were pretty hot, glad there was a fan in the room. There should be better parking instructions before check-in.

Room was very well kept and large, and the reception staff were so friendly and helpful carrying bags up and down the stairs, and let us store bags after checkout.
Unfortunately we weren't able to book breakfast for the next day for 8 people due to shortage of staff.
8.0
Very friendly/helpful staff. Food was superb, bathroom toiletries smelt amazing & shower was great.
Their steaks are out of this world & cooked to perfection! 👌🏽 Worth visiting for the food alone. l even got a tiny fillet steak with the full English breakfast! 🤗
Thin ceilings made it pretty noisy as l heard footsteps overhead constantly thumping about. l disliked the bare wooden flooring that made it feel cold/ less cosy & l felt a sticky patch on floor underfoot which was disconcerting.
l slept really badly because the radiator stayed on full heat all night so l woke up way too hot at 2 & 4am.
There was an awful smell from drains coming up through the plughole in bathroom sink. It's a handsome building, but photos cleverly hide the dismal views of the streets it sits in.

This is a great place to stay in Oxford. The room itself was to an excellent standard. Spacious, stylish and comfortable. Dinner at the restaurant downstairs was great as was the included breakfast.

Rooms was very nice and comfortable, good size too. It was great to have a coffee/tea machine in the room and plenty of milk in the fridge on the corridor. Room and bathroom were very clean and bed was very comfy. Nice breakfast included. Stay was not cheap but good quality.
The room could be a bit brighter/ it would be nice to have more lighting in there.
10.0
Extremely comfortable bed and room with luxury linens and towels. Location was adequate for my needs. The staff was very efficient and pleasant. The included breakfast was exceptional. I enjoyed their sticky toffee pudding and Irish coffee for dessert.
Nothing I can think of.
8.0
beautiful cozy hotel in very english style, comfortable bed, all equipment needed. Location is also great, over the corner from the railway station, aprox. 15 min walk to the center, but you can also take the bus.
the only downside would be the breakfast. the waiter was very confused first forgot about us, then left completely, croissants were not eatable.

Excellent service and food.
