White House View Guest House

I've stayed at the property before and it is very efficiently managed. It has an uncomplicated self-entry for late check-in and the location is good - an easy walk to the city centre. The room this time was smaller than my last stay but it was immaculate and quiet.

They need to work on the lighting. The lightbulb in the bedside lamp was burned out and there is no light over the sink in the bathroom, only wires sticking out. Also it would be nice if there were teabags offered in the room as well as instant coffee.

The location was good. Staff helpful. The English breakfast was average but you could ask for more. Wi-fi nice and strong.

It was just average for me with no real problems. Room was probably smaller than I thought when making the booking.

Cozy, but needs a few basic (and inexpensive) fixes

The place is cozy -- obviously not a new building, but it's has a clean and modern feel. Staff is friendly. The single room is tiny, but even at my height (6'3) it was fine. Good location, a short walk to the city center.

Some basic, cheap maintenance issues need to be taken care of: - The mattress was not in great condition. It tilted noticeable to one side, which is particularly an issue because I'm a side sleeper -- so on my preferred side, I felt I was tipping downhill. - The shower handle and head sprayed in some random directions. A bit of an unpleasant surprised when I turned the faucet on. - One of the bathroom lights (over the shower) was out, and some of the fixtures needed repair or replacement. - I was on the top floor, and the wifi signal was basically unusable there. - Beware that, as is standard in British hotels, you don't get a sheet, just a blanket -- too hot during the summer. Also, there's no AC, so you have to rely on an open window to cool off. If they could take care of these issues -- which would not cost much! -- I could recommend this place, but as-is, it's hard to.

The owner was extremely warm and friendly, as was the service.the roos were impecably clean and newly decorated, and very pleasant.

the one draw back was reservation times being limited. One has to call when you arrive at the door as the owner lives somewhere else. For me with a Belgian tel. this was awkward, as it would be for all non-british residens. I dont know what the solution could be!

Clean, reasonably quiet, nice friendly owners/staff, convenient to downtown Oxford

Shower a bit cramped, room small

1. Close to the center (7-10 min walk). 2. Staff. 3. Breakfast (you can choose between continental or English). 4. Except for the small problem with the overday parking, everything was ok.

1. Though the nearby parking is promised, you will have to put your car into park-and-ride parking place (approx. 2 km southward), which will take you some 15 minutes (including several bus stops). During night, you can leave your car in front of the guest house or in the nearby 2hour parking (night is free).
