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.

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.

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.

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!

The room was okay but could use a bit of updating. Parking is a bit of a pain. We only stayed for a night and served its purpose for us.

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.

The Osney Arms was perfect for us staying over night while we attended a wedding near-by. Biplab was wonderfully welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed. Our room was lovely and had everything we could need. We’d definitely stay again and reccomended it to others.

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.

This felt a lot more luxurious than the price tag suggested! My room on the top floor was small but perfect for a single guest, the bed was comfy with a choice of pillows, and a kettle and fan were provided in the room, plus lots of free biscuits. The bathroom was shared but only with one other room, and it was huge (and everything was scrupulously clean). The buffet breakfast was well thought through with a nice range of options, including coffee machine and herbal teas, a selection of dairy and plant milks, and a range of cereals (with clear allergy information). The self check in was smooth with clear info provided. Would definitely stay again.

Location of the property was perfect, walkable into the centre of Oxford and also to where we were attending a wedding party. The breakfast was amazing and VERY generous. The only issue was the door to our room opened the wrong way which made getting in and out challenging, particularly with baggage!

Clean, good communication, comfortable room, decent self-serve breakfast. Ideal overnight stopover if walking the Thames path. No resident staff, decor looking a bit tired in places and a bit of traffic noise but overall perfectly adequate and exactly as described.
