Older accommodation but the rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfast is self service but there is a really good selection of different items, various kinds of tea and a great coffee maker. We would definitely stay there again.

Cheap and cheerful, does the basics well and good value for money. Within walking distance from Oxford station and the shopping centre (at a push). Room is small, but cozy, good for a short stay.

It was perfect for what we wanted. We stayed 1 night and it included breakfast. The location was perfect to walk into Oxford town centre and not have to worry about driving and parking.

The Osney Arms was perfect for us staying over night while we attended a wedding near-by. Biplab was wonderfully welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed. Our room was lovely and had everything we could need. We’d definitely stay again and reccomended it to others.

Good value for money.

Outside of building misleading. Inside is clean and light. Our double ensuite had a view over the street, was clean and well equipped. Lots of hot water, radiators that can be adjusted, comfortable bed, tea making facilities. Very happy considering the price we paid. Breakfast was ok. Only issue is parking. We were lucky to get a place outside. Also major roadworks on route into town. But overall very good value for money.

Lovely hotel to stay in

Exactly what we needed and was a manageable walk in the town centre & back. I think a sign for the fridge would make it clearer that it's in the breakfast area rather than the kitchen but good selection for the continental breakfast

We had a great stay at this small family-run hotel. Good value overall.  The owner was very responsive (try calling directly), and helped with early check-in and leaving our bags for a late departure.  Comfortable bed.  Very good Continental breakfast with better options than the typical hotel - milk, granola, good coffee. Nice hot shower.

Basic, low price accommodation

Essentially a hostel. Not a terrible stay, but very basic accommodation in a basic, unimpressive (and poorly insulated) house. The room was in a dormer, and very, very small with a shared bathroom that only had a bathtub.

Great value and getting your own bathroom is great for the price and location. Minutes from train station. It is not five stars.
