Henry's location off the main traffic streets but easily walkable to all points makes it the perfect location. The building is very secure. Just know our unit was up many steps and no lift, but we would definitely stay here again.

Henry's location is excellent. And the accommodation is OK. It's a bit tired around the edges (mould in the shower, windows not cleaned for several years, etc.) But OK. We missed the little things, like not being able to store our bags anywhere safe.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights. We got the third level room and it was nice and served its purpose. My only complaint with the room was that the bathroom absolutely reeked of mold. Other than that, the location was great, very walkable, and we enjoyed our stay (other than the terrible mold smell).

A great stay near all the shops and tourist areas.

The location had set a set air conditioner to 20-23 degrees Celsius and it would not go down at all nor cool, we had to sleep with all the windows open because of the heat. The reception is not in the building and nobody could come and help us at all when we discovered none of the ceiling fans worked. When I called the reception the reception person had me check under the bed for a switch that was non existent, then flip all of the switches multiple times to see if any worked for the fan. On top of it he told me nobody could come to fix it since he couldn’t leave the reception desk at his location. It was unbearably hot inside and no a/c and no overhead fans was a terrible combo. I would not go here again personally.

We enjoyed our stay at Henry's very much. The room was clean, well kept and convenient to the central part of Oxford. There are only 4 rooms, and no desk or staff on site, but we called the number with questions and a real person answered and was very helpful. This stay was close to the train station and very centrally located for touring Oxford or finding good pubs.

Near city center, very easy to access. Oxford is the beautiful town, definitely worth to stay at least two nights to explore the surrounding countryside.

AirBnB like place, but they did not provide the entry codes ahead of time. When I called the front desk (of a different hotel) the gentleman who answered also didn't know the entry code, but he did call back 20 minutes later with the code. Also adjusting thermostat did nothing, it was cold no matter what I set it to.

My room was spacious and well-equipped, and the hotel is in a terrific location - quiet and convenient for everything. My stay couldn't have been better. I will definitely base myself here again next time I'm in Oxford.

A comfortable stay, it was lovely having a table and having a few plates and things as well as a fridge. It has been well thought out and was easy to access and it felt secure. Some noise from the upstairs apartment but they weren’t too noisy

Beautiful house in the old town, historic place - but with modern comfort (new Bathroom, cozy bed ...). They did a great job restoring it! We had a tiny kitchen with fridge, tea/coffee, a sitting room and there even was a fan. We didn't get the welcome email, but we just gave them a call and everything was handled perfectly. If you have problems with stairs, you should know there are two sets, the last quite narrow, because it's an old house. We would love to stay here again - highly recommend!

Excellent location, 6min (flat) walk from station, tucked away on a quiet, central road. Local amenities minutes away. Room itself, compact but everything needed available. Plenty to do around the city... Mon - Fri break just right.

We met Rupert the owner at the property and he was very friendly and helpful. We had two rooms for two nights because we were attending our daughters graduation. The location was excellent right in the centre of town and made our visit extra special. Thank you’

Rupert was a courteous and responsive host. He ensured that our room was as cool and comfortable as possible during our heatwave stay. He resolved a couple of issues promptly and to our satisfaction. The location was superb and we had a very enjoyable stay.

We loved our stay here - very nicely furnished and lots of extras to make the stay both comfortable and seamless - hairdryer, iron/ironing board, fridge, wine glasses, bottle opener, coffee maker, table and chairs - really well thought about. If it can be improved in nay way it would be to have just slightly longer shower screen so that you don't soak the bathroom floor so much! In all, a lovely stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Great central location, no parking mind but we used the "just park" app and parked on somebody's driveway for £36 for two nights, just a seven-minute walk away.

Location was very good. Access was secure. Mini fridge was helpful.Bath towels were nice size. Lighting was fine. Coffee maker leaked when turned on, hot water pot old and deteriorated, needs replacing. bath sink drains a bit slow. Room temp couldn't be regulated. Shower water temp too hot, could not be lowered and no one to call to service or discuss situation.

Check-in is an ordeal. There is no front desk and it can be difficult reaching someone by phone. Entrance is via a code, which is the same code for all the rooms - a cause for security concerns. The overhead fan did not work. We couldn’t get on the wifi either, but just trying to get into the room had been such a hassle we opted to not bother trying to reach out again. The space itself is fine and like the pictures. Lots of light. Had everything we wanted. Nice central location, but beware it can be noisy near pub and club closing times (3am).
