Great guest house. Will book again. On a side note I am advised by the guest house that a refund has been sent to you, to forward onto me, due to at one point having no electricity. The guest house have advised that the refund will be sent from yourselves. Please advise when I will receive the refund. Thank you.

Very good reviews! Facilities: First of all, the hotel has free parking spaces, just behind the hotel, a separate small courtyard, which can park about 10 cars. We went there in the off-season and were very happy to have many empty spaces. For the UK, where parking fees are expensive, it saves a lot of money. But you can only park until 12 noon when you leave the hotel, so don't take up more parking spaces. Service: The grandfather at the hotel front desk was very friendly and explained the check-in requirements to us in a slow pace. The hotel has no elevator and needs to climb the stairs. We are on the top floor attic, and the stairs are narrow, which is not very friendly for large suitcases, but fortunately the room is spacious and the heating is sufficient, so it is very comfortable to stay for a few days. Environment: It takes more than ten minutes to walk to the city of Oxford, and there are many pedestrians and cars along the way, so it is not unsafe. In short, it is highly recommended.

It's really good! The old man at the front desk is very nice! I like British gentlemen very much. It's very comfortable to live here! I will come again next time. It's very convenient to go everywhere. I miss the life of an international student.

The room is small but fully equipped, clean and sanitary. It is a 12-minute walk from the back door of Christ College. You can put your luggage down in the morning and walk to Gloucester Green in 25 minutes. The location is good, but the price is a bit expensive at 112 pounds.

Location: Facing the street, across the street is Queens College Stadium. Turn left when you go out and walk for 15 minutes to the gate of Christ Church College, which is a little far. Facilities: Because it is a small hotel converted from a residential building, the facilities are relatively simple and cannot be compared with big hotels.
