We often use this when attending gaming weekends in Oxford since it's near to the pub hosting the event, and it suffices as a place to crash for the night. It's somewhat shabby in places; some rooms now have ensuite fitted but they look like DIY jobs (I couldn't get the shower to work properly in one and the other... More

Guest House was well situated, 15 mins easy walk to town centre, and very near bus routes. Room was very clean, though not big, no comfortable chairs, and slightly dodgy electrics. Double bed was smaller than we had been led to expect, but mattress was comfortable. Decor was drab and tired and en suite was very small. Towels and linen... More

I stayed in one of the ensuite single rooms. It was immaculately clean. There was a good sized kettle and the shower and toilet was very pleasant and looked recently refurbished. The bed wasn't the most comfortable, but there were plenty of pillows and so I still had a nice sleep. In the morning, the staff were really friendly too. More

We originally booked on the wrong date, and when the hosts let us change the date free of charge (even if they technically could have charged 50 % according to the booking website's terms), we got the last room they had left for our correct date. We were warned that it could be small, but we found it to be... More

White House View Guest House Oxford > The Chamber is nice but the bathroom is very old. Chamber 1, the Faucet of the shower is 20 centimeters below the ceiling. It still goes if you measure 1,70 m, but it becomes delicate for a child. No shower product. TOILETS is whimsical quite as the Internet Connection. In no way conceived... More

I went there for the first time in 1996 when I was studying in the city. Then did not go for almost 15 years but came back 3 times in 2010 (was staying overnight in Heathrow and thought Oxford was more appropriate than an hotel at the airport). The hotel is in a nice little house and must have about... More

The female owner was friendly when she greeted us and was helpful with directions. Our ensuite room was clean and spacious, but overall the B&B was a bit shabby. There was no coffee, tea or kettle in the room and the male owner was not very obliging when we asked for a cup of coffee - even though a sign... More

Disappointing. Clean and friendly but far from quiet with guests and staff talking loudly beyond midnight and keeping us awake. Had important interview next day, but was far from refreshed ... Bed was uncomfortable. Only 2 towels provided for 3 adults. Ensuite was a shower that was totally inefficient. Breakfast was meagre to say the least. No freeview and the... More

This family guesthouse is located about 10-15 minutes walking from the center in a quiet neighborhood. From the train station rather take the bus, there is a bus stop only 50 meters from the guesthouse, then it's only few minutes accross the river to Christ Church College. The place is very clean. 2 shared bathrooms are at your disposal. The... More
