We stayed there a few weeks ago. 
It was hassle from the start they need to know your arrival time. So kept ringing me. I told them I'd be there around 5ish still was ringing me on the journey up. It turned out they don't want to actually do there job and be there. So after all that a key was left in a box with code. So we are there for a night out. So we got in no staff anywhere all night. When we got back. We had no power to any sockets so no kettle no tv no hot shower no heating or side lights. 
Also no one to tell. No refund didn't even say sorry and booking. Com didn't offer anything either. Avoid at all cost


Avoid Avoid

We were very apprehensive about staying here after reading the reviews but as we only wanted a room for two nights we thought we would take the chance. The room was basic but clean with a good shower and included tea, coffee, biscuits and toiletries. Nice white fluffy towels too. Downsides were a damp problem which resulted in mould spots on the back wall and rubbish in the front seating area which wasn’t removed during our stay. However, at £135 for two nights it still represented very good value for money especially as parking was included and it was within walking distance of the town with bus stops nearby if half an hour walk is too much. The Co-op a few doors away sold some decent pastries for breakfast but there are also cafes close by for something more substantial. I don’t know what some people expect for the money they pay. Oxford can be expensive and this is a perfectly good budget option. We would stay again.

Not as bad as reviews suggest

I paid £110 for a dingy, dirty, noisy, airless, room with.  (Breakfast not included or available). Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid avoid avoid avoid. Oxford hotel inspector standards are obviously lower than those of a rubbish dump.

Whole night we could not sleep because of noise upstairs. When we contacted the hotel we were told there is no noise. At 5 am fire alarm broke out leaving all guests in a perplexed state. When we approached the contact person, he rudely said its loo early to discuss anything with us. 

I realized later that it is not actually a bed and breakfast but only rooms! Wish I had read all the reviews before confirming this booking though booking.com.  They should remove this from their list so that other will not have similar horrible experience. 

I have never had any horrible experience such as this. 

Worst experience!!!

The accommodation is a 35-40 minute walk from the center at a good pace. Our room was at the back of the house. It was ridiculously small, more than a room it was a storage room. I am 1.55m tall and weigh less than 50kg and could barely move around the bed without tripping or having to walk sideways. We had two small backpacks but if we had brought suitcases they wouldn’t have fit inside the room. The walls were paper thin, we could hear absolutely everything that was going on in the next room. There is NO Wi-Fi even though it is included in the services offered. There is a light in the street with a motion sensor and it was constantly turning on and off all night, waking us up. The only good point is that the “room” was clean. The price is totally disproportionate to the service, a scam. If the alternative is to sleep on the street, fine, but if not, we strongly recommend against staying at this establishment.

Big NO! Avoid!

There is no reception at the hotel.
Room size was half the size mentioned in reservation document. It was too small for two people!
No window. They mentioned in the reservation document that the room has a window with a view. It had a window to a staff laundry room (with frosty plexiglass!) that couldn't be opened!!
When I complained to reservation agent, the owner responded that they offered me another room and I had not accepted!!! That was their biggest lie!!!!
They mentioned that parking spaces are available, another lie. They have very cramped parking space for 5 cars only and they have 10 rooms!
We could not sleep as the room was too hot and someone started banging on door at 6:30 am!!!

Awful stay! Avoid!

Our stay was pretty good for a budget guesthouse. Newly renovated, clean and quite comfortable. Really well located, walkable to the centre of town, close to good pubs, cafes and restaurants in the hipster Cowley area, with parking on site, not a universal benefit in Oxford! Check in/out was quick and simple. Slightly noisy in our front room, but not too bad as it was double glazed. Facilities limited to tv, internet and tea/coffee making facilities. Private bathroom (not en suite) with slightly dodgy shower. I’d recommend Harris if you’re on a budget - Oxford can be expensive!

Good budget option

Upon arriving at the hotel, it became apparent that we had accidentally booked the wrong dates for our stay. Fortunately, the gentleman manage to arrange a room for us that same day. Not only this, but he even matched the price we paid online. 

We had a great time staying in Oxford. Although the hotel isn’t in the centre, there are some great bars and restaurant in the surrounding area. We stayed in a double room on the ground floor which was very clean and had a modern style. The only issue was a broken toilet seat, but that wasn’t the end of the world! 

When we arrived home, we realised it wasn't possible to cancel our original booking and amend the dates. We sent a request over to Harris Guest Accommodation and they instantly accepted our request and issued a full refund. 

The service we received alone is enough to award a 5 star review. Thank you so much guys!

Excellent Service

I was initially a bit worried about staying here from the other reviews, but the place must have had a recent revamp or something because our room was absolutely fine! I felt like the place deserved an updated review as the majority of the reviews on here are from a while ago.

I requested a room at the back after seeing some people mentioning the rooms at the front were a bit noisy at night time and I was grateful we were given a room at the back. The bathroom looked modern, the shower was good, comfy bed and the cleanliness was all fine. Yes the room is a bit on the small side, and the sitting area out the front could probably do with updating too, but for the price we paid I feel like it was fair. We literally just wanted somewhere to crash after attending a gig at the 02 Academy up the road so this guesthouse was perfectly fine for that purpose. No brekkie supplied, but there are some lovely cafe's up the road you can pop into for that. No complaints here!

Fine stay - 1 night

This Guest House was very clean, my room at the back was quiet and everything worked well.  It is on a busy road. Car parking was very usefull . It is on a well connected route into Oxford.
No breakfast facilities, so really just a place to sleep and go from. The nearest cafe was closed for the holidays when I was there, but only a little further on was The Missing Bean which served lovely coffee and croissants.
