Centre of town with good parking
Posted 09-Jun-2017Old school pub with parking at the rear. Good centre location with free parking. Basic and straightforward room that was very clean and it had everything we needed. Very helpful staff and the breakfast was excellent. If you want a top class hotel with all the facilities this won't be for you, but if you need a near central base to go off and explore Oxford at a reasonable price trot round to The Old Black Horse!

Pub close to the town centre
Posted 05-Jun-2017
Pros: Good location
Cons: Breakfast only served for an hour - better if a bit longer.
Location: Really close to town centre will historic colleges, museums etc.
Hotel is part of an inn. Not super smart but quite adequate.

Location good but disappointing room
Posted 04-Mar-2017 on HotelsThe room was clean and adequate though very small. The ensuite was modern- no plug in the washbasin, which is wasteful. Bed was comfortable enough. Two pillows, both thick, so one wasn't enough and two was too much. Why don't b&bs copy Premier Inn and have different thicknesses of pillow? Breakfast was good and freshly cooked. My big complaint was that there was no proper lighting in the room, only two wall lights, one of which was too feeble to illuminate anything. Impossible to read in there and as the TV, though equipped with a Skybox, seemed unable to receive any BBC channels and several of the ITV ones, one just had to go to bed early. Just about acceptable, but not a place to spend more than one night in. If I hadn't been redeeming (partly) a free night, I would have been annoyed to pay the full charge. The location is the best thing about it.

Quaint accommodations in a very old building.
Posted 13-Oct-2016
Pros: Comfortable room with the convenient pub on the ground floor.
Cons: Narrow stairway to second floor was difficult the maneuver with luggage.
Location: Location was very good, close to the city center.
Very comfortable and clean rooms with very nice service. The ground floor pub was a bonus. Free breakfast every morning was nice. The very old building was oozing with character.

Nice place in a slightly odd pub
Posted 08-Oct-2016 on HotelsNice place in a slightly odd pub. The rooms are separate from the pub so no noise at all. Owners really nice too. Great, if you are having a lads night out and just need a convenient place to lay your head

Located a stones's throw away from Magdalene College. Although its 4* rated its more like a pub with rooms. Centrally located with free parking, satellite TV, clean rooms in an old historic public house and complimentary full English breakfast. Its well priced taking this into account although it could do with a make over.
