Oxford Homestays

I required somewhere to stay that would be local to an early appointment that i had on Monday 13th November. Having searched local B&B's etc and checked out a number of reviews The Conifers Guest House appeared to fit the bill. The booking was through *********** and once confirmed i was also advised that my room on the day had been upgraded. The room was ground floor to rear of the main property namely Number 10. Unfortunately the room central heating did not work and hot water took an age to come through. The room upgrade was in fact what i would call a family room with a single and double bed plus a kitchenette so all in all large enough for a single person stay. The only heating i could find was that of a small oil filled radiator and took some hours to warm the room up. Unfortunately the toilet and shower cubicle room was very cold. The room overall requires updating at best but as a single man staying just one night it was just about tolerable. If this was a free upgrade it leaves me wondering what was i upgraded from ???

Drive directly from London Airport to the hotel. The hotel is located in a residential area. The appearance is a submit-detached house. When we arrived, there was a large truck of renovation garbage at the doorway of the yard, which looked a bit messy. Entering the room was still very tidy. It should have just been renovated and looked relatively new and clean. The house is of course an old house with a certain history. The heating and sockets are a bit old. The sockets are arranged near the baseboards of the house, which makes charging awkward. Now everyone has so many electronic devices, it is recommended that the store provide more charging sockets. We booked a family room. The room is large enough. On the ground floor, there is a floor-to-ceiling window leading to the back yard. In summer, there should be a small inner yard with a table for leisure, but we arrived in winter and the yard was not decorated. Breakfast was arranged in a small restaurant in the sun room. The food is relatively rich and the environment is warm. You can communicate with other travelers. The manager and waiter are also very enthusiastic and can do their best to help the guests. The transportation is not bad. We basically walk to the central area, which takes about 20 to 25 minutes. The advantage is that you don’t have to find a place to park, and you can also see the small colleges on both sides along the way. There are not many places to eat around, but there is a small bar about 15 minutes' walk away, which has 1 Michelin star. It is a little expensive, but the food is delicious and the atmosphere is good. Students in the school are discussing business plans, which is a very university atmosphere. You can park on the roadside in front of the hotel, which is convenient. The manager let us park in the small parking lot of the hotel, which makes us feel at home. The small hotel is free and warm, and you can enter and exit with a password at night. Overall, I am quite satisfied. The next two pictures are of the small bar, and the last picture is Zixia on the road at dusk.

Good environment, location downtown, walking and shopping are hate convenient, front desk staff service is warm and thoughtful, heart-warming, reasonable price, clean and spacious room, is the first choice for the next trip to Oxford.

The breakfast at the hotel is very good, it feels like a gentleman and a young man are responsible for reception, dining, health and all work, very good service. The fly in the ointment is that the child has to add extra money, and it is quite expensive. We only had 108 pounds at the original price. Adding a 9-year-old child cost me 110 pounds. I started to feel like a black shop, but gave us a big room, and the breakfast service was very good. (Maybe it's a bit difficult to ask him to serve a white person to the yellow). Look at his dedication, this time Trip.com is dealing with a large number of refunds caused by non-crowns, and I don't think I'm bothered to complain. (Graphic: sunrise at the door)

The room is bigger than the sports scene, clean, warm, with a conversion plug, the staff is warm and thoughtful, ask the airport route to help me check the computer and print a piece of paper, especially good

Very clean and warm. Our room was at the back of the house and it was very quiet there. Bed comfortable and we slept well. The shower clean and functional. Botley House close to the railway station and the city centre, there are many buses should you not wish to walk in. Value for money

We received a very warm welcome, and were allowed to check in several hours early. Room was big, well furnished, and comfortable. We particularly liked having a small table and kitchenette for our breakfast! Lovely toiletries provided in the bathroom. There is a small car park, and also on road parking. Couldn't have asked for friendlier, more welcoming hosts. Would definitely stay again.

We were welcomed by the most polite and helpful young lady who offered to carry our bags to our rooms ♥️ Offered a breakfast option as we arrived late in the evening and advised of local restaurants. Our room was absolutely perfect ~ extremely clean & comfortable king size bed aswell as beautiful bunk beds that could suit adults and children. Bay window with a radiator below ♥️ Tee, coffee, milk, sugar and water bottle. Draws and wardrobe to help you feal at home for aslong as you require. Strong shower with complimentary shower essentials. My favourite part was the multi charger (it was a life saver for us) Will definitely stay again ♥️♥️♥️♥️

We went to visit oxford for a family trip. We arrived at Athena Guest House in the evening where we were left outside in the cold for at least half an hour with elderly grandparents and a baby, while the person there tried to figure out which rooms we were supposed to be staying in. They had ignored previous enquiries my sister had made in the run up to our visit. The lady in charge spoke loudly on the phone and ignored my sister who was trying to ask for help about details she had to fill in. This lady then went on to demand that one person made the payment for the whole group before we saw the bedrooms. It is now clear why, because the rooms were in very poor condition and there was no disability access. The person in our party that is disabled was carried up the stairs and into the property and could not access the sink in her room. I was sent to a different guest house with other members of my party. We were expected to share a bathroom with strangers (during a pandemic), the room was unclean, the floor was peeling, chair ripped and it stank of cigarette smoke. Our fire alarm had been covered in foil to stop the detector working. I refused to share a bathroom with anyone that wasn’t from my party and after this we were moved to a different property down the road from the original house and my entire family, which was upsetting . It still stank of smoke, was still in desperate need of an upgrade and cleaning, the shower was dirty, sky box not working, curtains wouldn’t close fully and the other member of my family had issues with the lock on their door. There was not a single staff member at this property and I felt very intimidated and unsafe. There were people shouting outside the property and banging the doors throughout the night. If I could give them no stars I truly would, it ruined an amazing family trip and left us all very upset. Nothing worse than filthy surroundings and rude/unhelpful staff.
