needed somewhere quick and easy to stay near john radcliffe hospital, as soon as i got there i wanted to leave but just needed a bed quickly, the man was very strange and made me feel uncomfortable and the awful smell just hits you when you walk in. Our room was terrible old toilet with black tank and pull chain... More

Its location here is definitely the only favored position; very close to the busy Cowley Rd. and the city center. It's very advisable to listen to all the reviews you've read about this place and spend more money for a better place. However if you have no expectation (at all!) and don't care about hospitality it should be one of... More

Just returned from a 2 night stay, as I was attending a course. Upon arrival the guy who checked us in was particularly unpleasant and almost shifty. The room was basic, very basic. However it seemed the bathroom had been recently refurbished (room number 1) that said - the shower had only 2 settings. Hot or Cold. When smoking outside... More

Booked here as a last minute Internet reservation. Looked fine on the outside..until we got in. The man greeted us without so much of a "hello". The reception area... The smell of stale oil & stale urine was apparent. The room-mouldy, disgusting. Tiny room with 2 beds crammed in. The lock didn't work and when I questioned it I got... More

We stayed here in 1998, and have been reciting our hammer night of horror to our poor freinds ever since. We were offered a selection of rooms in the hope of finding a habitable one...we didn't. I removed the bed headboard as it had a semi-circle of black where previous occupants had endured what would become a living nightmare. Went... More

First of all this Guest House doesn't even deserve a rating. In total I stayed 5 nights, unfortunately not through personal choice simply because it was cheap. I have truthfully never experienced a more horrifying and insecure stay in all my days!! Mr Cronin the "profound" owner made aggressive gestures towards me and it is apparent that he has anger...

This was a last resort place after somewhere else fell through. From the moment we stepped in it was terrible. The smell of the place was nasty, the kitchen was dirty and, well just disgusting. The place had a Bates Motel feel about it; the guy showing us our room ignored me for an age before acknowledging my presence then... More

Don't believe everything you read. Fortunately I didn't read any of the reviews beforehand or else I may not have given this place a chance. You will not find better customer service than here. The guy I met on reception went entirely out of his way (beyond any 5 star hotel i've stayed at) to help and make things as... More

I had the displeasure of staying at the Nanford Guest House after my trip's organiser having mixup with another hotel booking led to this being the only other option. Had I known that I would be faced with this cesspit I would have gladly slept in my car in the freezing conditions. We were greeted by a creepy looking man... More

Utterly horrible! Arrived as a last minute booking with my wife, made on our behalf in a rush. The 'reception' bloke (creepy guy in a dirty jumper) looked annoyed that I interrupted his viewing of some violent film featuring screaming women being attacked ... to actually ask to check in. He grabbed the keys and stormed off outside and round... More
