A lovely family-run guest house. Everything about the property is fantastic. They are helpful and kind. You can walk downtown or cross the street and take the bus, which passes every 10 minutes. There are shops, restaurants, and supermarkets close by. The room was clean and cosy.

I was disappointed with the condition, comfort and cleanliness of my room. I complained so got moved to a slightly nicer room with a much better bed. I was grateful the owner accommodated me. However I won’t stay there

Very disappointing experience. I specifically booked a room with a private bathroom, as clearly stated in the listing, but I was given a room with a shared bathroom instead. Despite raising the issue, the hotel refused to provide a room matching the original description, even though availability appeared to exist. The room also had an unpleasant smell throughout my stay. More concerning, the fire door on my floor was wedged open, which raises serious safety concerns. In addition, the hotel is quite far from the city centre, which makes getting around less convenient. Overall, the service and standards did not match what was advertised.

Comfortable Stay in a Great Location

We had a pleasant stay overall. The room was clean and the bed was really comfy, which made for a good night’s sleep. The location was ideal—close to the city, restaurants, and with parking available nearby. Late check-in was easy thanks to the key code system. The room had some nice touches like tea bags and biscuits, although there wasn’t quite enough milk provided. The only downside was the kettle, which was covered in a white powdery residue—hopefully just limescale, but it wasn’t very appealing. Aside from that, it was a convenient and comfortable place to stay, and I’d consider returning.

The location is good - close to shops and restaurants in Summertown. Check in was easy with clear instructions for key pick up. The sheets, towels and main areas in the room were clean but other areas were dirty or in need of attention (e.g. the doors to the room and ensuite were dirty and marked, the wallpaper was peeling, there were stains on the stool by the dressing table and on the base of the bed, and the runner for the shower doors needed to be cleaned). It was quite warm during my stay so the fan provided was appreciated. The shower pressure was good with plenty of hot water. Adding a hook in the bathroom would be helpful as there was nowhere to hang towels.

Nice place but watch the hot water!

Overall a pleasant stay. Only thing that might be improved is the showers control. I guess it is always better to have too much hot water, but the hot water is so hot, the in room shower was barely bearable at the coolest setting available. Anyway it is still better than a cold shower.
