The staff were very helpful and accommodating as I needed to arrive later than advertised - efforts were made to communicate with me which was greatly appreciated. The bedding and bathroom were clean enough, but the building was a bit seedy, and room was smelly with old carpets and an alarmingly cracked ceiling. On first telephone discussion I had in advance, I was told only continental breakfast was available and included, but on the morning of my stay I was told my tarriff did not include breakfast at all, so information was inconsistent and could be made clearer one way or the other, plus I noticed full breakfast was available - but clearly not for me, so I had the added expense of finding and purchasing breakfast as an extra in the City Centre which I had not been expecting so disappointing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 12, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities great location only a 20 minute walk into Oxford. Pleasant room. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline Jul 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable and relaxing room Very welcoming and lovely clean room. ##### Caroline Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 9, 2019 The house is a satellite and the staff are based at another house nearby so you have to text them to come over. There's parking for three in the front and house does not have a lift. The room was tight but the bathroom was excellent. It's half way between the town centre and the Park and Ride, so there was a lot of walking. Good services in the area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 6, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owner was friendly and accommodating. Bed was comfortable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller May 21, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities So sorry to have to leave this review, but our stay was exhausting and uncomfortable from the start. The guy who let us in was polite enough, but that was the last we saw of him. Constant traffic noise, inconsiderate and noisy guests, late at night. Beds extremely squeaky, lumpy, uncomfortable. Bedding dirty, dried food on spread, blood stains on the quilt cover. Towels unwashed, dirty and smelly, which would have been obvious to the management. Shower mouldy and tiles loose, need grouting, hot water tap cold, curtains not well fitting, let in light. Heating sporadic and not individually controlled. No room service, even though it's stated in the literature, no breakfast available either, unless you want to walk 15 minutes down the road to another venue, which wasn't an option for us as my mother has limited mobility. Fridge in the common room was full of mouldy food, 'tea and coffee facilities' consisted of two tea bags, two cups and a kettle. Broken lamp, wall plaster cracked in need of repair, heavy dust on all horizontal surfaces, filthy mirror. TV over head end of single bed was not safety chained to the wall, my mother had to sleep on the mattress on the floor as was fearful of it's robustness - at least it stopped the squeaking portable bed frame. Smoke alarms bleeped constantly, cigarette burns, mould on the net curtains, mould on the window mastic, windows stiff, some with broken handles. Dangerous extension cable to kettle. They did however empty the bins daily. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Definitely recommended. Lovely public rooms downstairs, with comfy sofas, large TV, bookcase, also conservatory to sit in. My room both scrupulously clean, well provided incl kettle etc. and deliciously warm, as was shared bathroom with good power shower. Courteous and helpful welcome from owner, incl. offered to carry in my luggage - not many places still do this! House itself was quiet and peaceful. My room faced Abingdon Road (constant traffic) which doesn't bother me at all, but others might like to know to ask otherwise. Property still undergoing refurbishment on stairs and top floor, so will be even better soon. Beyond the property: bus stop into/from town v nearby, or about 20 mins wallk to Cornmarket. There is parking in front for up to 4 cars. At worst you can park at Redbridge Park & Ride and walk 12 minutes. I had dinner at the Duke of Monmouth a few doors down, really good steak & salad where they catered brilliantly for my allergies. There's also a Tesco Express within walking distance for ordinary food shopping. The Ridings overall: a modest place to stay but has everything you need including cleanliness, and at an excellent price for near-central Oxford. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Stefanos Feb 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Position of the hotel and hospitality ##### Stefanos Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### J Jan 27, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Really hate leaving bad reviews particularly as the main owner who greeted was very pleasant but this had to be my worst guest house experience in a long while. Smoke alarms kept bleeping (low battery voltage?) dreadful mattresses, room bin hadn’t been emptied, shared bathroom dingy, shower head broken, filthy toilet...the list goes on...not great particularly when you have to get up the following morning to give a music recital - I was exhausted! It’s such a shame as this could be a really, really nice place ##### J Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### A Nov 2, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Walking distance to Oxford but a very basic hotel. This hotel is super basic. The bathroom is shared and had mould in the corner. Fine for a night in a pinch, but just be aware. ##### A Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jonny Sep 30, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Die Betten waren gut und erschienen sauber. Der Rest leider nicht. Die Fenster waren aufgrund eines Baugerüstes aussen nicht bzw. nur minimal zu öffnen, d.h. man konnte absolut nicht gut lüften, was aber dringend notwendig gewesen wäre, da zumindest eins der beiden Zimmer massiv nach Chlor gerochen hat. Dieser Geruch ist ein Indikator für Schimmelbefall bzw. Versuche diesen zu beseitigen. Die Fugen in den Badezimmern zeigten, dass diese Versuche nicht erfolgreich abgeschlossen waren. In den angeblich gereinigten Zimmern lagen leicht bewegliche Krümel auf dem Boden. Regale waren staubig. Die Sitzgelegenheiten sind ebenfalls schmuddelig. Die online Fotos sind aus den absolut best möglichen Winkeln geschossen. Die Zimmer sind kleiner als der Schein trügt. Vorsicht: Die Reservierung ist nicht erstattbar, und erst nach langem Reden wurde uns ein Rabatt gewährt. Allerdings kein angemessener. Wir haben es uns teuer zu stehen lassen müssen, die Unterkunft frühzeitig verlassen zu können. Wir sind sehr unzufrieden und extrem enttäuscht. Unser Tip: Holiday Inn im Norden der Stadt und das P&R unmittelbar (unter 5 min. zu Fuß) daneben verwenden. ##### Jonny Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Aug 9, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Very disappointed and will not stay again. The manager was very pleasant however, I booked this guest house for free parking to realise that there are only 3 spaces of which the manager parks in one. First night i was lucky enough to have a call from him when he arrived to move his car. The next night, I return at 8 to find no spaces and had to park on side road. £75 per night, no breakfast, no en-suite and had to park on the road. Don't advertise free parking if you can't deliver. I got a much better hotel for next week in Oxford with Ensuite and breakfast included plus a big car park for just £10 extra per night. Also, breakfast only availabe from 8:30\. If you can afford another £10 stay somewhere else. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Aug 4, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Don't go there Disgusting bathroom, no ventilation (scaffolding blocking windows), uncomfortable bed, the feel of a by-the-hour premises and people sleeping in the breakfast area. We left after the first night by 8:30 am. Felt dirty and cheap. But the charges and the misrepresentation on Expedia was most disappointing. Don't go there. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### lynsey Jun 29, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wouldn't stay here again Nowhere to park on arrival and had to sit outside with hazard lights on until a car moved. Only 3 spaces for a 8 room hotel???? No bath towels or hair dryer in room as expected and had to ring hotel to get them as staff could not be found anywhere. After nipping out for some food we arrived back in our room to the smell of sewage. It was coming up out if the shower drain. The manager came and gave it a quick clean but we spent the night with an awful smell. Couldn't open the windows either, except one a tiny bit (and it was a 27° day) because of scaffolding outside. Surely this is a health and safety risk? Woke up to the continued smell and a shower cubicle full of smelly water with bits in! I managed a quick shower once I got it to drain away but it filled up so quickly again my daughter couldn't shower. To top it all off the bathroom was grubby with brown stains on the wall by the toilet and scum around the shower. There was a damp stain on the bedroom wall too and little holes in the ceiling which made me rather uncomfortable as I can't figure out why they are there. All in all a horrible experience after a very long day that I could have done without. Not impressed at all. ##### lynsey Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michael Jun 26, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness #### Good and Bad Bathroom was disgusting - mould, sink plugged, toilet often impossible to flush. Rest of the place was ok, ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tamara Jun 20, 2018 #### Ok As another guest stated, one night was enough. You must pay extra for breakfast, but there was a spot to park. It’s about 25 minutes to Christchurch College. Very basic, but good nights sleep. ##### Tamara Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Jun 7, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Meget venligt personale og et ganske fint værelse. Det lå dog lidt væk fra centrum, men bussen går lige uden for hoveddøren.

The house is on a busy street and 30 min walk to downtown-driving is virtually impossible due to a severe lack parking. The room was very dated although it seemed clean . The bed was ok but not great. There is scaffolding on the building and workers were there by 7:30am on a Saturday.The owner did allow me to park there until 2:00pm on departure day. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller May 8, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We did not end up staying at this hotel as all the windows were blocked by scaffolding, There was black mold around the window and in the bathroom. We requested a refund due to unsafe conditions. Requested a refund and asked for Expedia to assist with this, however to date have received nothing and no communication from Expedia. Can not believe a building that is unsafe to stay in is able to advertise on Expedia ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yukio Apr 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort スタッフが常駐していない貸し部屋で、用のある時はちょっと困った。 特に到着時、ちょっと遅れたので、なかなか連絡が取れなかった。 それ以外では、文句なく快適。市中心までもバス一本で行ける。 ##### Yukio ### 4/10 Poor #### andrew, birmingham Mar 2, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Cheap and cheerful Very basic But what you’d expect for the price It’s half the price of anything else ##### andrew Stayed 1 night in Feb 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 8, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Cheap and cheerful Basic but clean and warm.

L'accueil a été parfait. Je suis arrivé le matin et on m'a gentiment proposé de garder mes affaires le temps qu'il fasse la chambre et que je fasse un tour dans la ville. A mon retour, j'ai pu retrouvé mes affaires dans ma chambre. Le personnel était très aimable. Les chambres sont bien rénovées et très accueillantes. Le lit est confortable. Seuls bémols : l'isolation sonore et le manque de volets. Ma chambre donnait sur un autre bâtiment en face et la lumière est resté allumé toute la nuit. ##### Nicolas Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Royal Horseguards, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-Horseguards.h25926.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Charing Cross](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h5169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h10939.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [The May Fair, A Radisson Collection Hotel, Mayfair London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-May-Fair.h7606.Hotel-Information) > > [Bedford Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Bedford.h54993.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza County Hall London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-County-Hall-London.h1742184.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Savoy](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Savoy.h27158.Hotel-Information) > > [St Martins Lane London, a Morgans Originals hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-St-Martins-Lane-London.h470865.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal National Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-National-Hotel.h55001.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Westminster-London.h914179.Hotel-Information) > > [The Landmark London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Landmark-London.h438653.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Containers London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sea-Containers-London.h8466215.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-CitizenM-Tower-Of-London.h14736047.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Langham.h22099.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Kensington-High-St.h9789.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Victoria London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Victoria-London.h801796.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Ritz-London.h28146.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-President-Hotel.h54995.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Riverbank](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Riverbank.h1183908.Hotel-Information) > > [The Randolph Hotel Oxford, a Graduate by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Oxford-Hotels-The-Randolph-Hotel.h21785.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Fitzroy London by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Kimpton-Fitzroy-London.h21514.Hotel-Information)
