Bathroom was quite basic but did the job

Super central old town house with a cosy room. Let me check in early and super responsive even when not at the property

Stayed in April 2024

The mattress could have been more firm, but I guess this is a matter of personal taste. No complimentary toiletries are provided, which may or may not be an issue. Not much space to put your stuff on, no chairs, no drawers. Rooms facing he street may be a bit noisy, even allowing for a bit of dampening effect provided by the double window. There is no toilet at room level; you will have to either go upstairs or downstairs (this applies specifically to my room at the time). No clear/immediate idea of where toilets are: a map on the back of the door would be useful (isn't it also mandatory for safety?)

The location is perfect: in the very centre of the historic town and within reach of all major attractions. A ten-minute walk will bring you to the Ashmolean Museum in one direction or the Radcliffe Camera in the opposite direction. The staff was very friendly, and I managed to get in all right, even if there was no staff on-site, simply by talking to the guy on WhatsApp (using the complimentary Wi-fi). The room was cosy and decently furnished, with an abundance of pillows. Linens and towels were fresh and in very good nick. The little washing basin in the room was quite handy and clean, although poorly illuminated. The carpet was clean all around the bed, but not underneath it, with objects left there by previous occupants. The complimentary breakfast set in the room was useful and comprehensively furnished overall.

The windows open only 15 cm (6 inches). Some of the walls need repair (they’re crumbling).

Excellent location for visiting central Oxford.

Separate bathroom, could do with tarting up a little, but was okay

Location perfect

The bathroom wasn't per se dirty or anything like that, but you could tell it was about to become a mess. Mold starting to grow on the ceiling of the shower and such. Nothing that would make me complain honestly, just quite on the verge of starting to become one of those problems. Very clean for the rest.

Super old English household, with super low roofing - both good and bad, I wish I had known before hand cause my friend had to walk looking down (1.85cm). But incredibly pretty and in an amazing spot. Best bed I slept on during a trip ever and very clean, except from a few small mold spots in the bathroom.

I did not bother me, but the stairs are realky steep and some people could have problems. On the other hand, steep stairs are everywhere in Britain and this is old house in old part of town

Perfect location, calm. Oldish or unpolished style, which some people mention was no problem. Bastion really nice.

It is a very old but well maintained charming building in a central but quiet street. Both the bathroom and room were clean, all appliances worked.

Door were sticking. Main entry door was sticking resulting in key breaking in lock. Door to bathroom also sticking, making entry and exit difficult. No

We had a shared bathroom which was fine but we ended up sharing it with guests from 2 two floors (seemed around 6 rooms to just one bathroom) which meant having to wait a lot for it to be free. Not very convenient. Appreciated having a sink in our room though. Hand soap in both room and bathroom was finished.

Fantastic location right in the centre of the city, comfy beds, kettle and tea/hot chocolate selection and water bottles provided in the room. Shampoo and shower gel provided in the bathroom.

Location was fantastic, we love old properties with character and Tower House provided plenty of this with the comfort of a warm room and cozy bed. Really helpful owner\manager too.

Some things in the room were a bit worn and could do with updating. But that didn’t put me off my stay at all.

The building is stunning! I loved on the old features.

Great location & value for $.

Cleaning not of a great standard, needs a tidy up, poorly painted

Great Location, friendly staff

We were on the top floor of the property and there were a lot of steep stairs. This property wouldn't be suitable for someone with limited mobility or bad knees!

The location of the property was amazing. Right in the centre of Oxford but on a quiet side street. As we were in the city to attend an event, it was super convenient. There was no breakfast at the property but so many breakfast places in walking distance.

Property is in a central location a few minutes walk from all the old Oxford colleges and the high street and close to everything. It’s an old townhouse with loads of character.

The room was cosy

I’m from a cold place and found it a little too hot and the heating was on all night as other guests preferred that.

Location was great quirky medieval room layout with wooden beams and quiet street

While the property and location were great I would advise caution if you are traveling by car. I booked expecting little parking however it was worse than expected, please do your research if this is a deal breaker. There was no parking in the immediate area, small dead end roads are common. We had to park ten to fifteen minuets walk away in an expensive car park and get up very early to move the car to another carpark to avoid the inner city clean air tariffs. We also had to leave early to avoid this when leaving. None of this is the fault of the property but it is something to keep in mind if like us you are traveling with a lot of luggage or even children please be aware.

I'm a sucker for historical properties and this was a delightful find. The room was small for a double but we managed perfectly well even through last minuet ballgown alterations. It was comfortable and cozy with a beautiful view of part of the university. The street was pretty quiet at night and while i'm not usually keen on shared bathrooms the facilities were in good condition. I would like to stay again just to properly experience the area more and the convenience of staying so central and to get a better feel for the property as a whole. It was also quite funny to hear the local tour guides during the day and the buzz of the students and locals.

We had to call by phone to get in. It was no that easy to get in.

Excelent sitation in the city center. Very nice house, quiet, tidy and comfortable.
