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.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

close to station. close to car rental places.close to hop on bus. Good range of options for self serve breakfast. Our room spacious and comfortable ( don't know about the other rooms) . Our front room had some traffic noise but not too bad. Supermarket and laundromat very close by. Good Indian restaurant close by. Not lot of other restaurants really close.

Liked: Amenities
Though the guesthouse is unprepossessing from the outside, inside it’s a different story. The rooms are comfortable, spotlessly clean and with welcoming tea, coffee and biscuits. There are no staff so access is coded, but easy and secure and there are clear instructions (admittedly only in English) everywhere. Breakfast, again self-service, was first-rate with plenty of choice, including fresh fruit. All in all great accommodation at a very reasonable price !

I loved the easy check-in process at the Osney Arms. The location is great, close to the train station. Our room and the bathroom were both clean and perfect. We especially liked the breakfast options in the dining room, along with the espresso machine. I would definitely stay here again!

Older accommodation but the rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfast is self service but there is a really good selection of different items, various kinds of tea and a great coffee maker. We would definitely stay there again.

One night stay. Small but aequate sized room for what we needed. Shared, but nice bathroom, although no shower. Everything clean and welcoming. Self service breakfast with plenty of options and helpful communication from host for a smooth check in. Ideally situated for a walk into the city with a handy pay and display carpark down the end of the street.

Booked online, 10 rooms with only two parking spaces. Self check in is very unfriendly. Duvet smelled so upon investigation, soiled and stained, what else is non hygienic! Beautiful room but city bus runs til Midnight, and they rumble at 70-80 decibels every 15 minutes.
