This is a budget offering, so that has to be borne in mind. I had the single room which is up in the roof space. It was very hot (weather 32+ degrees), and they'd provided a small electric fan. However, the built-in blind in the velux is broken, so pinged up and sunlight poured in! Overall, it was fine for a stopover. I felt safe here. The parking spaces were taken, so they kindly offered me a parking permit. Easy win would be to fix the peg in shower room that requires a screw. It was clean and comfortable. I didn't stop for brekkie, so can't comment on that. It's run by a friendly, communicative staff team. I'd stay again as I know exactly what I'm getting.
A little bit tired looking.
Water pressure in the shower wasn't great and it took some time to get hot water.
Some shops and coffee shops nearby and bus to more central part of Oxford.
Letar du efter lyxigaste stÀllet i stan? Letar du efter ett nybygge med kaklade badrum och identiska rum? Ja, dÄ fÄr du leta vidare. Men om du letar efter ett prisvÀrt och gemytligt stÀlle sÄ ska du helt klart bo hÀr. Ja, det finns skavanker pÄ stÀllet, men vi hade en fin vistelse hÀr.
Som krydda pÄ moset Àr personalen/Àgarna vÀldigt trevliga och tillmötesgÄende.
The stay was okay. There is parking available and it is on the bus route. The room was clean but the rug is a tripping hazard and a crack on the wardrobe which was covered with masking tape. Not a good look.
Friendly welcome and the 2 single beds comfortable. Our2 bikes were securely stored in the garage. The only problem was no power to charge the electric bike.
Nice breakfast. Very nice filter coffee.
Another thing. There is an English standard, and there is a Nordic standard. I've rated this according to what I take to be an English standard. Using a Nordic standard, the ratings for cleanliness and property conditions would definitely be lower. 2 stars at most, I am sorry to say.
Although Amanda was very welcoming the guest house was very basic, which is okay as it was a budget stay, however we booked for two nights and once we had checked in and stayed one night we were asked if we could move to another room for the second night because they had received a late booking. We understand things happen however we are pensioners with two large bags who are traveling around the UK as tourists.
We were put in the attic room and carried our bags up three flights of stairs.
The second night we were moved to the lowest level and had to repack our bags and carry them down the stairs again
We would have liked to stayed in the first room however she asked us to move and felt a little uncomfortable to say no, however probably should have.
The breakfast is very basic and with the TV news channel on throughout in the breakfast room, the ambiance was not relaxing and the news was to loud.
Unfortunately not a good experience and although Amanda tries very hard to run a good guest house I would like to see her focus on the simple things that make the difference and a good feel factor
A practical option for travellers with a bus stop 30 seconds from the front door into central Oxford. Very friendly hosts who were always willing to help - for instance, offering us parking vouchers for next-door Lonsdale Road where I parked for two days.
