All that I needed and our hosts were very kind and helpful. However the carpet and soft furnishings were grubby and dirty in my room.

Convenient location, comfortable room
My cousin and i spent just one night at the Oxford Guest House because it was convenient to Heathrow for a morning flight. The bus to Heathrow leaves just 2 blocks away. It was also convenient to bus service to the center of Oxford. We were concerned that our twin room was in the front of the house which is on a busy street but it was not at all noisy during the night. The room was small but comfortable. The bathroom was very nice and clean. The young man who checked us in was pleasant and helpful.

We stayed overnight whilst visiting family in Oxford, and found it found it easy to check in, with friendly staff. We took breakfast and although it was an additional £10 per person we were happy with the variety and quality of the food. Overall we enjoyed our time there.

The Oxford Guest House is perfectly located for visiting The Kilns (CS Lewis house), Holy Trinity Church, and the local parks. It's very close to the bus stations, which made visiting the college campuses and city center very easy. Check-in was simple. The room was small but comfortable. The bathroom was accessibility-rated and very nice. My only complaint was that the electric kettle was pretty dirty and caused floaters in the tea. I wasn't able to get it clean myself. Overall, it was a very good location for my trip and I would stay here again.
