The host was accommodating and the location is good, on Cowley Road, with a bus stop right across the street. The house is not new or recently refurbished and the furnishings are haphasard, but wvebrything was clean and functional. A good place to stay on a budget. ##### Gregory Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mandhir 25 Oct 2024 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities A tiny room in a guest house with makeshift arrangements. Bed mattresses are not proper, and noise from the neighbouring rooms / street can be disturbing. Tea/Coffee bags were available Location has some dining options and bus stop just a road across ##### Mandhir Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeffrey 31 May 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was clean and the bathroom had been recently remodeled. Checking in was a bit difficult with the management not on premise. The owners are making efforts to upgrade the property and could spend some time tidying up the front parking area and entry which is not very inviting. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jorge 24 Jun 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stay away from this place Judging for the outside of the property we could have guessed that the inside was terrible. All the plants are dried, there was even an abandoned cooler. The hotel sign is half falling from the post where it is attached. The front key doesn’t work well. The room key wasn’t working and neither was the door knob. We complaint to management. they removed the door knob and didn’t fix the keys. It was difficult to open and to lock the door with the key, and they didn’t fix that. Towels were clean but very used, some of them had holes and stains on them. Pillows were flat and uncomfortable. The fridge was very dirty. No towels racks, etc. The only positive thing was the service crew, who brought us towels and were really helpful. ![Entrance sign](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/511B7732F3FF18C1907C3EED000C7DBD5D81E5FC1719221155355.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Reception desk](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/87B9DF556FDFB68BA81B5EDFBA1C5BF7160A05051719221146187.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Room door as they left it](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/64C74E1968B0411AA256C08D492FFF9A62C60B021719221141705.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Hotel entrance](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C0D7C064432B6FDB256D7AEA7837BE62FE8B62D71719221154442.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jorge Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Valentina 23 Jun 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness It s really close to the city center ##### Valentina Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alexander 22 Jun 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you like filthy rooms and bed bugs this might be the best adress in Oxford for you! ##### Alexander Stayed 19 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Joanne 27 Oct 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wouldn’t stay again Good location, but not very clean. ##### Joanne Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kulbir 23 Sept 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hell Hole Everything about this place was terrible.
