Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort

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.

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

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Truly awful. Visibly very unclean - mould all over the shower, dust, oil, and grime all over the room. Every surface was sticky and the room and the building as a whole had an awful smell. The front door didn't lock and the bedroom door could be overcome by just pushing. The staff were unhelpful and unprofessional. I arrived at the property only to be directed to a house a 10 minute walk away, further from the city centre. I am deeply confused at how you could own a hotel and not even begin to clean it.

Avoid at all costs!

What a hovel. Obviously the health and safety inspectors have never visited this place. We have had to apologise profusely to our sub-contractor who we put up there for a couple of nights. Moved him out as soon as we could find another hotel.
