Red Mullions Guest House, hotel in Oxford

Red Mullions is a welcoming family-run guest house in Headington, excellently located for the many hospitals in Headington and the Oxford Brookes University. Central Oxford is a 10-minute drive away.

Room was very clean and comfortable, decided to go with the continental breakfast and wasn't disappointed. Power shower in the en-suite was very good, if a wee bit noisy. Useful to have on-site parking. Very helpful staff and would stay again.

Iffley Town House, hotel in Oxford

Situated in Oxford, within 3.4 km of University of Oxford and 600 metres of Greyfriars, Iffley Town House features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free...

The property is really well located in a nice and safe area. It is very clean and tidy. I liked the pad lock at the entrance as it feels quite safe and it’s easy to use without the key. The room was amazing with a great and calm view. I will definitely come back! (There’s also a bus stop right in front of the guest house so it’s very practical)

Henry's, hotel in Oxford

Situated within the historic city centre of Oxford, Henry's is nestled amidst the scenic university colleges and a 10-minute walk from Oxford rail station.

The location was perfect, as we were involved in activities at a college five minutes' walk. We loved the bathroom too, and the teeny kitchen, though it did not meet the spec. suggested - e.g. fridge? No, it was a wine cooler! Nespresso coffee maker? No coffee - and it was a Lavazza. The design of the whole interior of this teeny building was cleverly thought through. Also, like others before us, we found the peace and quiet to be amazing for the centre of Oxford - although as St Michael's Street was blocked off due to roadworks, perhaps this was just valid for now.

    Host very welcoming and friendly. I was able to use an off road parking space in front of the guest house. On a good bus route to city centre, Good selection of toast and cereal for breakfast. Room clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water. I was in a very quiet room at the back of the house.

    Lovely house in a quiet neighbourhood with a great host. I spend two weeks with Melody and I really felt at home. With the busses it‘s quite fast to reach the city centre (especially if you‘re used to living in bigger cities) or — if you feel sporty — you can walk a 45 minutes through the fields of port meadow among the oxen’s. I really liked it!

    Excellent location. Short walk into Oxford and for the New Theatre. Staff were great hosts. Food was excellent. Quiet location - we've stayed in central Oxford before and it can be very noisy (sirens and revellers). This was ideal. Lovely old building. Room was clean, comfortable and great location - short walk into the city centre and all the sight seeing you want.

    Very nice studio in a great location. The studio was clean and very comfortable, during the night it was very quiet even though it is rather close to a busy road. It is within walking distance of the city centre. Overall it had a very high standard for Oxford accommodation and great value for money. Friendly and very helpful host! We would definitely stay here again.

    Green Gables guesthouse is a home from home experience. Mr & Mrs Bella are fantastic hosts, lovely interaction with guests. Breakfast was great & room was exceptionally clean. Great location & only a 10 minute bus ride to Oxford City Centre. The bus stop is outside the property. My husband & myself will definitely stay here again & would recommend a visit.
