I slept like a baby. Really. The door to the room opens with a skeleton key so it’s older but that’s part of the charm. Great internet and the staff made me feel welcome anytime I walked in the door.

Very nice hotel, located in the city centre, within 10min walking distance from the rail station. Welcoming, friendly and helpful reception. Comfortable quiet clean bedroom at the back with air con, great toiletry kit and coffee & biscuits selection. The narrow stairs were ok for me but this could be difficult for people with large suitcase. Person at reception kindly offered to take bags to the room if any problem. If it had breakfast facilities this would be perfect but they do offer voucher for next door cafe/restaurant. I would recommend it and would stay there again on my next visit to Oxford.

We had an excellent stay at the buttery. It was a very convenient location and the room was very suitable. There was plenty of storage, places to sit, and it was easy to access outlets for charging our devices. The showers and bathroom were nice and the air conditioning was very effective. During the day, there was some noise from the street but at night it had become completely quiet.

I loved staying at the Buttery! The location was perfectly centralized and you could walk to everything. The room was clean, cool, and I appreciated the daily tea and water that was replenished in the room. It was also very quiet, despite being so centralized. And reasonable!!! I highly recommend the Buttery.

Just be aware of what this is - it is a "guesthouse" - so DON'T expect it to be a 4-star hotel on a great deal. The room was nice, but they seem to have engaged in a box-checking exercise to achieve 4 stars for the room (like having portable air-conditioners going out of the windows) without the feeling of a 4-star hotel There are no public spaces whatsover. The location is very central, but unfortunately this means that it looks right over the wooden benches on Broad street, where you will likely have teenagers hanging out and making lots of noise until well past midnight. Parking is also on your own, which will be super expensive.

No air conditioning

Google said there was air conditioning, but there were only fans in the rooms. I stayed in a single room and it was fine. I expected the steep stairs based on other reviews. Excellent location to walk to sites.

Very central to collages, dinning etc. Nice size room with window air con. Coffee/ tea and comp cookies. Nice large bathroom however no where to place toilet bag, clothes ,no stand or table, but plenty of space for that. No where to park close by or drop off.. Had large suitcase and had to drag it up 4 flights of steps. Car park was quit a walk away with cases and the price to park was extausanate..

The staff was very kind and accommodating. The location was amazing. The property was clean. It’s an older building with some quirks: the floor isn’t level and the stairs are quite steep. Otherwise I loved it!
