Fantastic location!!! Great restaurants steps out the door and a market. Short walk to the best shopping and just so cute. The gentleman that checked us in was super helpful and friendly. Loved the charm of the old building. Nice room size and bathroom size.

Our room was upstairs through a slanting hallway and then down a tight spiral staircase that ALSO had a steep slanting roof line so that you had to contort to get down the small door that was entry to our room. Leaving the room was easier as you could simply crawl on your hands and knees. Unfortunately I am super claustrophobic and I struggled a great deal with this set up. If you are cool with this description and can enjoy the nature of it being an old building, you’ll love this room. Also, don’t even think about bringing a suitcase to the room, small bags only.

The room was pristine - one of the cleanest hotel rooms I have ever stayed in! I was very pleased with how clean and neat it was - well done to the cleaners!! It was well-equipped and even had a little fridge for keeping milk and so on. The proprietor recommended a number of restaurants in the area, but I did very well from the local Sainsbury's. Personally, I would have liked to be able to stay more centrally because I was in Oxford for research. I would have preferred a hotel near the library I use, where I could pop in for coffee and to eat meals during the day. But actually, I enjoyed the walk in and out of town, apart from the first day when it was raining and dismal. It was awesome at night.

I stayed midweek; the noise level from the street and pub opposite was to be expected. Almost all of the hotels in central Oxford which I have ever stayed in are noisy at night; with earplugs I got a good night's sleep.

We stayed with our 7 month old baby and the location was so convenient as we could leave our car parked securely in the back and walk one road to all the Oxford sites with our pram in just 10 minutes. There were also a lot of great restaurants and cafes right by the inn. Check in and out was very easy and they were happy for us to check in early.

The bed was very small although comfortable, and as it’s on the main road into town and near a main roundabout, the noise from the traffic came right through the windows including quite a few police/ambulance sirens. Make sure you bring earplugs!

We stayed in a chalet behind the pub. There were 4 friends in our group and the chalet was perfect for us. It had one bedroom with twin beds, another with a double bed and the 4th person slept on the huge corner couch. The chalet was spotless. Kitchenette had kettle, toaster, fridge, cooking rings and we think a combo oven. Pete the owner was very friendly and we would definitely stay here again. There were many restaurants in the vicinity and we were situated just around the corner from high street as we were within walking distance of everything.

We can't find any negatives at all.

My family and I stayed at the OBH in late Sep 2023 for five days. We had a great experience. Our room was big enough for the three of us and was very comfortable. The pub downstairs does not get loud even in the weekends. The best part is the free parking. St Clement's street is loud due to the amount of ambulance traffic but the rooms seem to insulate most of the noise. The location is fantastic for walking around Oxford

It was perfect for our stay.

Everything was to like! From the moment of booking! Communication with Pete was excellent as we had a couple of requests. All requests nicely sorted! Lovely location with parking! - massive bonus! For us 5 minute walk into centre Oxford! Amazing! Room was lovely and spacious, very clean and nice array of tea and coffee with fridge with complimentary water! Pub below lovely and inviting. Pubs surrounding all very nice also. You cannot go wrong booking here. Thanks Pete and all your staff!

Nothing

(1) VERY FRIENDLY MANAGER. (2) Rooms 11 and 13 were ACTUALLY CHALETS. Very suitable for families of 4-5 members. (3) Near restsurants, grocery shop, etc. 1 minute walk from Cowley Road, which is littered with foreign cuisine restaurants, etc. (4) Very near High Street and City Centre -- walking distance. (5) Excellent value-for-money. Oxford city centre hotels are OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive. This hotel provided excellent value by Oxford standards.

NO COMPLAINTS.

Staff was very nice, the place was clean and the location is close to the city center. Many restaurants, cafes and pubs in the area.

Location is not best for you if you are a light sleeper. Windows let in a lot of noise and there's a bar downstairs and the hotel is on a busy road with unexpectedly many emergency vehicles. We slept through all the noise, but I would suppose the noise to be an issue for many.

Very helpful and friendly staff, in particular Pete. Late check-in and a slightly later check-out was no problem. There are cafes round the corner. If you come by coach from Heathrow the bus stop (St Clemens) is almost directly in front of the house. The colleges are within walking distance, Magdalene is round the corner, Christ Church is a 12 minute walk.

My single room had everything you need for three nights, but if you are ever so slightly claustrophobic you should book a double room, I guess.

The location is fantastic. Close to restaurants, farmacy, then and transportation. Very spacious room and a great variety of channels on the TV. .

I booked this hotel because it has an old look and great character. But sadly they gave me a room in the back of the hotel. Like not part of it. I was very disappointed. Literally in the parking lot. Not what i told my family we would get.
