Very good location next to Hinksey Park and ten minutes walk from Oxford city centre. Buses stop right outside (worth getting a 24-hour pass for four pounds if you are going to do more than a couple of bus trips). There is a flight of steps up to the front door, which is inconvenient if you have a heavy suitcase,... More

Pros: - Nice breakfast - Room ok and clean - Location not bad about 10mins walk into centre - We were able to leave our luggage there in the day which was brilliant because then we could do what we wanted in the day. Cons: - I wasn't able to sleep all night because of continous loud snoring. There wasn't... More

This B & B looked very nice on the website, but the pictures of the rooms have been exagerated to make them look larger. We had a very poorly decorated room at the top of the 3 storey building which was tiny. You had to be very careful not to bag your head on the ceiling getting into and out... More

This has both good and bad sides, so decide for yourself. The Good: - Free parking. Oxford city centre is not car-friendly or parking-friendly. Park and walk. - Friendly service. The owner (or I presumed he was) is an odd man but pleasant and accomodating. The woman who check us in was simply adorable. - Good breakfast. You get a... More

We booked in here for a weekend and were asked to pay for our stay before we even saw the accommodation. Sadly the rooms did not resemble any of the photographs on their web page, it was all very down market and resembled student digs. One of the rooms had an overpowering smell of sewage/drains and we were forced to... More

The positives: Staff are friendly and efficient, and the breakfast included is good. Plenty of choice to start your day. Location is perfect. The negatives: the rooms desperately need refurbishment/updating. Mismatched decor, terrible bed and in the beginning of winter we were expecting a duvet of some description but it was wafer thin. The room is cold and the Walls... More

I stayed in Oxford for a congress during the summer. This hotel offers clean rooms, a full breakfast and friendly personnel for a low price, what more can you ask? It is only a ten-minute walk from the city-centre and just 2 minutes from a great pub!

I stayed there for a couple of days. I think with some humor and flexibility you can have a pleasant stay for a reasonable price at the sportsview. It is obviously a victorian-style old building with maze-like corridors, but one can easily guess this before booking. I had to sort out how the heating works as the room was totally... More

We stayed in one of the lower level rooms, looking into the street, but weren't bother by the noise. Room and bathroom were very clean. Breakfast was really impressive. Staff was friendly. Parking was available, either on the property, or nearby streets. Not a problem finding a spot. Wi-Fi worked flawlessly.
