If you are traveling to Oxford and want to be close (within walking distance) to everything, this is a cool place. The management is excellent and really willing to help. This place is nothing special, it is a place to lay your head. But it is well cared for and has great staff and a good breakfast.

An ideal property if you want to be close to Oxford centre. Currently not helped by all the roadworks nearby, though that is not the fault of the hotel. Bedrooms and communal areas were very clean. Breakfast was a bit on the hostel side of things, though perfectly adequate. Wifi strength good. All in all decent value for money.

The Osney Arms is a terrific place from which to explore Oxford. The rooms are small but quiet, clean, comfortable and have everything you would need. The breakfast is outstanding, with many healthy options and thoughtful touches. The guest house is also just a 15-minute walk from the train station. While the manager isn't on site, he replies quickly to any questions. I enjoyed my stay and found it an excellent value.

For a wonderful old house everything was clean and easy. Room was very comfortable and quiet. We were able to park on the property and walked about 1/2 mile to dinner in the evening. Felt fairly safe walking back at 8pm.

Great value

For the price it was excellent. Room was as good as any hotel. It’s not luxury but it’s great value. I stayed two nights while dropping a child off at university. The location is excellent only 5 mins walk into town centre.

Communication about checking in was really helpful, the breakfast set up looked really good although I chose not to eat as it was provided at the conference I was attending. I had a kettle for drinks in my room and the hosts kindly left a packet of gluten free biscuits for me because I let them know my dietary needs. I was upgraded to an ensuite, having booked one of the only rooms with a shared bathroom. The bed was so comfortable and the set up in the room was good. I had reservations before my visit, but after staying there once, I would definitely visit again when next in Oxford.
