A tiny room in a guest house with makeshift arrangements. Bed mattresses are not proper, and noise from the neighbouring rooms / street can be disturbing.
Tea/Coffee bags were available
Location has some dining options and bus stop just a road across
Everything about this place was terrible. Wouldn't stay here again even if you paid me.

Decent, very affordable stay in Cowley
As advertised, inexpensive and functional. The host was accommodating and the location is good, on Cowley Road, with a bus stop right across the street. The house is not new or recently refurbished and the furnishings are haphasard, but wvebrything was clean and functional. A good place to stay on a budget.
Apart from the bathroom, which looks new, the property is run-down and dirty. The room was cluttered with unusable furniture and was dirty. The mirror was too low and not secured properly to the wall. The partially closed curtains would not open or close. The entrance area is overcrowded with junk. The walls are so thin I could hear people talking in other rooms.
1. Door lock keep catching, struggling to turn the keys
2. Broken lamps
3. Unsafe socket, loose covers
4. Very old tv/dvd, looks like its going to fall off the bracket
5. Dirty windows sills & dated decors/curtains
The room was clean and the bathroom had been recently remodeled. Checking in was a bit difficult with the management not on premise. The owners are making efforts to upgrade the property and could spend some time tidying up the front parking area and entry which is not very inviting.
This place is an acceptable cheapie. It's run down, nothing matches and thins are a bit crooked but it's ok. However, I got 5 insect bites there and one got infected and I was in a and e 2 days later

Disliked: Cleanliness
Good position, close to buses, supermarket and food places to eat.
Clean Is a good word... but not for this place...lot of work to do about that
The house was very unclean and in bad shape. There were cockroaches everywhere. The lock on the front door was old and almost impossible to open with my key. I had to call the host for assistance several nights when I had to get in. Don't go here, find another place to stay!

Shower didn't work, 2 TVs in room , neither would work
The hotel is a mess, very cheap for a reason. Went to hear a concert at the O2. Should have known better and read previous reviews. Shame as the property is in a prime location to make a killing. Needs a good scrub
Cheapest place to stay in Oxford, I only really needed a hotel to get ready in and sleep. The initial room they tried to give us was in a different building, and it was literally just a bedroom in someone’s grotty house - stank of smoke and not safe! Do not book the room with the shared bathroom.
The room we moved to was acceptable given the cost (albeit incredibly dated and dirty), but that is about it.
I would not reccomend this facility to anyone
Apart from the dog barking all night in the adacent room the boiler came on and off all night and the bathrom extract did not time switch off
This is over and above slamming and squeaky doors and floor boards it was awful
