We three elderly ladies stayed three nights in May 2013. We agree the outside is daunting - painting the front door would make a difference - but the family room though small was clean with good beds, linen and welcome tray. The bathroom was also clean with good towels, an efficient shower and a selection of toiletries. There were many... More

During my stay at athena I was greeted by the rude and unhelpful Jack, I asked for directions and he sent me completely the wrong way, also insistant you pay on day of arrival?? I stayed in the self catered house and one of the guests decided to use a prostitute and between the hours of 2-4am she was kicking... More

The title says it all, we booked a triple room via the picture on the Internet by Booking.com. When we arrived there were three beds in one small room, you could hardly turn around or walk in between. You could not get to the wardrobe as it was blocked by the bed. The bathroom had a shower curtain that was... More

I have the pleasure of staying in bed-&-breakfasts maybe 6 times a year across the country for work or family so I have some experience by now. This place is really poor relative to the modern standard I'm increasingly coming to expect. Most places I stay in now are so pleasant, it's no worse than sleeping at home. This is... More

Nice breakfast. Conveniently located, close to the city center (direct buses), wi-fi and not so fussy owners. Freeview TV. I was here for 5 days on an official stay and hence was not in during the day time. Didn't require the wardrobe but some might find it small. Shower in the bathroom was alright but sometimes required patient setting to... More

Good breakfast. Close to city center. Room facilites good: TV, tea, coffee, biscuits and comfortable bed. Room was very small and was not cleaned daily and had also many cables laying around. We had to leave our clothes in our luggage since the wardrobe was very small for a double room. Breakfast room was also very small and also full... More

This place may be a "work in progess"?? ( I am trying to find a reason for it being so poor), but we had the misfortune of staying here recently with family, thankfully only for one night! We were shown to our room which had a separate entrance to the main guest house...Somewhat surprised to see the padlock on the... More

Stayed at this establishment as we were looking for a late booking following a trip to Oxford. We were placed in a house up thr road - in fairness the proprietor "Jack" did advise us this on phone.As a last resort - Room was clean and beds comfortable. Situated on a very lively street in Oxford.

This accommodation was terrible. For the cost, the service and decor were terrible. I felt like I should be in a $15 per night room in Bali. DO NOT STAY HERE! I had to unexpectedly go back to London to hospital, gave more than 24 hours notice to cancel our third night. Paid jack who was not very happy at... More
