    It was a last minute stay over Easter so not a lot of choice. Better places for not much more

    Very scruffy, seen better days, desperately in need of a refurbishment. The sign outside says it all

    Convenient for town, clean, friendly and helpful staff, bed comfortable, plenty of tea and coffee making stuff, parking space available which otherwise would have caused a problem as there is limited parking elsewhere

    The receptionist is quite lazy. The name at the front is not Amazon but Athena. So it was confusing.

    The price is cheap

    The room was not clean properly. The hot and cold water taps was separate of each other on the sink! the shower tube was very short!

    The lodger was very supportive and polit. Also, he let me check in two hours earlier. I felt safe.

    Very noisy from the road (not their fault, just a function of the location), the room was fairly run down and in need of renovation, the lights were very temperamental, and the shower pressure was terrible.

    Good value for money, decent facilities, and convenient location.

    Cheap passable work accommodation Listen it’s not the ritz facility needs so much work but in all fairness we had food boxes that we asked the owner were so we bin it and he said he would dispose of them when he cleaned room and he let us stay late as our transport was later on during the day with no charge we didn’t leave the accommodation till 4:00pm I cant knock owner for that don’t get that anywhere else saved us waiting at station for hours there so there was pros and cons If owner revamped the whole building could be a really nice bed & breakfast

    - The guest house name is not "Amazon Guest House. But it has been named as "Athena Guest House" - When check-in, we were asked to walk another 300 meter further to another guest house (no name). It's like a students hostel. - The pictures of the guest house in Booking.com are totally different from the actual accommodation.

    The Guest House was not 5* but offered good value for money in a handy location.

    Not the best appointed room, peculiar layout and oddly furnished with an oversized chest of drawers, huge TV and wardrobe stuck behind an armchair. The curtains were odd lengths and the rails were a bit shonky. The pub opposite was a bit noisy on a warm night which meant we had to leave windows open.

    Good location, perfect for visiting Oxford city centre and close to local shops, cafes and restaurants. Beds were comfortable.

    It was dirty, drawers were full of stuff from the people stayed before, very outdated property not maintained at all, tv was taped with bracket and didn’t work. There was too much furniture with very little space in the room. The price was not justified in this case

    ...but a bit shabby overall, and I was rather saddened by the dog outside in the small yard who seemed to be left alone all the time, whining to be let in, taken for a walk, or just to have company.

    It was cheap, and clean enough, ...

    Cleanness & very tired, too much furniture clotted the room, very dated, pictures just placed on radiator instead of the wall, bathroom facilities poor. Curtains are too thin & need a good wash. Overpriced for what we got.
