    I could hear the TV noise from the room next to mine all the time. The hairdryer provided was a cheap one and stopped working after a while and had to wait until it cooled down.

    The room was reasonably priced and at a good location close to Headington shops. The staff were very friendly and the shower was new and nice.

    Easy drive to John Radcliffe hospital

    My room was a little tired. Clean but tired. The mattress probably could do with replacing instead of having a thick topper on. The room door rattled if I had the window ajar for fresh air, and I think for a solo female traveller, the door lock could be a more substantial one. Maybe just add a simple bolt. I requested poached eggs at breakfast. These were disappointing. They must have been cooked in a microwave container and were hard! Poached eggs shouldn't be like hard-boiled eggs. Everything else was lovely, though.

    I had a room at the back of the house on the top floor. It had everything I needed. I could see my car parked in the car park. There was no street noise as I was at the back off the road. Breakfast choice was good. I was greeted with a warm welcome. Tea and coffee tray were plentiful. Fresh milk was also provided. There was a mini fridge and a microwave in the room. Good bathroom and great shower with shower gel and shampoo provided in dispensers. Breakfast was plentiful, and the quality of the food was fine. I don't like hard poached eggs.! It was an easy quick drive to the John Radcliffe hospital, the purpose of my stay.

    Can’t think of anything off the top of my head! Unfortunately, it was a journey of necessity than for work or pleasure so my mind was elsewhere.

    The Guest House offered an excellent breakfast selection & good value. Staff were very friendly too. The parking was free if you had breakfast with hour booking.

    The only issue was the noise on the main road since the guest house is based near the road however we still slept okay

    The staff were very friendly when we first arrived one of the staff members offered to carry our luggage up the stairs. The guest house was comfortable and the parking was free. Near the guest house is the bus stop which takes you to the city centre which takes 20 minutes. I recommend anyone to stay in the guest house and we would definitely visit again

    Everything was fine. We had a little issue which was solved as soon as we voiced it.

    The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was good and they provided food for allergies when asked. Hotel was quiet even though it's small. Access to buses for city centre and for London right on the doorstep.

    Excellent value for money and a clean, comfy, friendly place to stay.

    A few minor things. The bedside light in our room did not work but it was too late to tell anyone by the time we returned in the evening. There is a timed light in the bathroom which stays on for around 5-10 minutes which can be distracting if you get up in the night. The light also automatically went off when we were in the shower so you are in the dark until you open the shower door.

    Our room was very clean and the beds were comfy. I loved the decaf teabags as no other guest house I have stayed in has supplied these. The staff were so friendly and even let us use the toilet once we returned from town. Breakfast was good with many choices. When we asked for milk there were many different ones to choose from including Lactose free. The guest house is very convenient place to stay as there is a bus stop outside with frequent buses into the town centre and station. It’s great value for money. I would definitely stay here again.

    I have been at the Oxford Guest House before and knew that the breakfast was good. Needless to say, it was good also now. What was outstanding was that I due to work and a big accident on M40 had got severely delaid at my arrival. to midnight +, but there was someone that had staid awake to let me in. Thank You !

    Nice independent B&B, lovely owner, welcoming.

    I was in a single room on the ground floor (with excellent disabled facilities) this meant that the bathroom was not set up well for me personally e.g. sink height and make up mirror as I like a more comfortable cosy bathroom, but it was clean, shower pressure and temperature could have been better. Unfortunately I left an electrical item in my room as I left early to get on the road. Sadly the item could not be found when I called later that day when I got to my destination and realised it was missing. The owners were helpful stayed in touch and looked for it. They sent me their front door video but unfortunately it was never found.

    the location was perfect for me visiting Oxford. It is walking distance int Oxford if you enjoy a stroll but for those who do not, there are frequent busses. Plenty of restaurants and fast food outlets in the locale and nice parks. Great option for visiting the wider area. Free onsite parking was a real bonus in this area. The bed was comfortable and clean. It was nice to have a proper room and front room door key. The owner and staff were very helpful welcoming and offered local recommendations and suggestions. It felt like a home from home. Tea /coffee in room is always nice.

    Wonderful stay in Oxford

    If I have to point out a few flaws, it might be that the bathroom was very cold, and there wasn't a knife or a fork in the room. I wanted to eat in one of the evenings and just eat some noodles. I had to take a fork from the common room, but it would be nice to have one available in the room.

    I am very pleased by this stay. The staff at Oxford Guest House was so kind and helpful with both recommendations for dinner and for a nice chat. The breakfast was very delicious (espacially the pancakes!) and it was possible to order English Breakfast in both a traditional way and a vegetarian. The room was comfortable and had almost everything you could ask for. The Oxford Guest House is not far from City Centre, but because of a loooong and big hill, it was quite difficult to just walk to and from. I would therefore recommend to take the bus, which stops right in front of the Guest House :)
