I stayed 2 nights at this lovely place. The owner is charming and helped me with my phone , which I couldn't figure out. The room was spotless and so comfortable. I would recommend Oxford West house to all.
Brilliant location, very friendly staff, all at a reasonable price! Plus many good eateries nearby.
Stayed for 1 night with 5 year old son over August Bank Holiday period. Qian, the Landlord is most accommodating; arranged key pick up before check in time to enable us to leave luggage. Also kindly let us leave our luggage safely locked away after check out so that we could go off and explore some more without carrying it around. Very clean room, containing everything you would need, towels, blankets, toiletries, tv, tea/coffee, etc. Very quiet overnight so had a good sleep. Ideal location. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again!
This cute little flat, right in the centre of Oxford, was the perfect home base for my partner and I while we were here from America. Very close to the river, the trains, and the town centre. Well looked after, and even came with a separate living area and fridge for that homey feel. I would recommend Oxford West House to any traveler.
Set in a townhouse, this unassuming guesthouse is 9 minutes' walk from Oxford train station, a 14-minute walk from Oxford Castle and 17 minutes' walk from the Ashmolean Museum.
