The Inn was clean and neat, though not luxurious and a tad bit run down. The bed was comfortable. It's on a quiet street, but very close to the rail station and the city center. Breakfast was quite good and generous. Manager was very friendly. Sharing a single toilet and bath is awkward in the morning. A second sink apart from the tub would be welcome. The carpet is a bit threadbare in the halls. Parking is difficult during the day.

The breakfast is really good! It's a relly "full English breakfast". The bathroom is shared, but it was expected. Its a bit pricy for the facilities to compare to other cities. Its quite good for Oxford.

It was very convenient to the train station and exactly what we needed for a night in Oxford. Up the 3 flights of stairs was a bit tough for my wife, but they helped us and we did fine.

Location is excellent. It is just A few minutes walk from train station but also nice and quiet in its own. Room is spacious and also clean and tidy. Shared bathroom is also clean, shampoo and body wash are also provided. Bed is excellent, better than many 5 star hotel in this regard. Breakfast is ok though not outstanding like other aspects. Highly recommended.

The staff were great - very friendly. There are extremely comfy beds with lovely warm duvets. Very clean, large, bright room. Shared bathroom wasn't a problem - never had to wait and was very clean. Breakfast was amazing - lovely full English! Pub does very nice good value food which we had for dinner. Some road noise (not double glazed - room was very warm though) but not much.

Location is perfect. Within walking distance to tours and stations. Bed is comfy and the manager was friendly and helpful The outward appearance is not that attractive but it is over 100 yr old! Looks can be deceptive

The staff was great and the rooms were clean and comfortable. They also were very considerate and had food I could eat ready. I am allergy to wheat and this can be a problem sometimes. I am not used to sharing a bathroom, but I knew before paying and I did get what I paid for. I am happy with my stay.

I had an excellent 3-day stay. The manager Paul was excellent--he carried my bags up the stairs, and even drove me to the bus station at the end of my trip. Though my room was above the pub, it was quiet. The room was clean. The shower was hot. A great value for Oxford. Highly recommended. Nothing.

It was an excellent location. Minutes from the station and a short walk to the city centre. The staff were extremely friendly and the service was excellent. The room was large and clean and the same with the bathroom. Would definitely stay there again. 10/10

We love the people in Kite Inn, very helpful,lovely,fun and friendly - they made our stay much more enjoyable. Despite that the ground floor is a pub, there isn’t any noise to be heard from our room. Both the bedroom and bathroom are very clean with more than enough clean towels, they also offer bath robe :). I would highly recommend Kite Inn for someone who wants to experience the true English atmosphere. None
