I loved the easy check-in process at the Osney Arms. The location is great, close to the train station. Our room and the bathroom were both clean and perfect. We especially liked the breakfast options in the dining room, along with the espresso machine. I would definitely stay here again!

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.

Booked online, 10 rooms with only two parking spaces. Self check in is very unfriendly. Duvet smelled so upon investigation, soiled and stained, what else is non hygienic! Beautiful room but city bus runs til Midnight, and they rumble at 70-80 decibels every 15 minutes.

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.
