Botley Townhouse

There should be a doormat in the bathroom

Very Good

3 beds were clean and comfortable, but we needed 4 beds, and the last was a fold out camp bed. And unfortunately we had no hot water. Not great for a winter holiday. But it was an easy walk to the heart of Oxford and the hosts responded quickly. However, they were not able to sort out the hot water.

Stayed one night with friends. You get an entry code for the front door and one for your room , as far as I could see no one lived on site apart from the guests. It was all clean and tidy, there is a kitchen on the ground floor that you can use, it is well supplied with tea and coffee ( dolce gusto machine and pods) but no drink making equipment in your room. We cooked breakfast and dinner in the kitchen but didn't see anyone else use it while we were there. We had room 6 on the top floor, fairly quiet, well presented and spacious. We had asked for it to be set up with 3 adult sized beds but arrived to a king size , single bed and very bouncy fold out child bed, we split the king size in to two singles and had 3 very comfy beds. We all had a good night's sleep. Room 3 could be very noisy as it's door opens into the kitchen and room 1 and 2 are right next to the front door but when you book you can see which room you are booking. 4 and 5 were on the 1st floor with 6 on the second, narrow staircase to 6 of you have big bulky luggage. It was good value and being able to cook for ourselves meant we could cater for dietary needs and keep the cost down. It's 10 to 15 minutes walk from the railway station, there is a waitrose almost opposite for self catering.

Location was quite convenient despite being approx 15min walk away from city centre. Code entry to the building/room worked without issues (there are no keys). Bed was comfortable and clean, plenty of pillows. The room was pretty big. I did not have issues with sreet noise but noise from other rooms, it sounded like elephants were stomping above me. There was also this weird super loud noise, still no idea what it was (maybe pipes, shower...), that woke you up multiple times. There was also what looked like mold/mildew on the bathroom wall. Wifi was ok. Overall an average place good for one night if you don’t want to break the bank.

The property was very clean and comfortable. Easy to get to, about a 15-20 minute walk from central Oxford. It was a little confusing in terms of check-in; I didn't get the code to the door and my room until I reached out myself, but once I did it was very easy. Overall great bang for your buck - cuter and more quaint than a hotel and has a full kitchen with new appliances if you want to cook.

Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Great shower. Came with hairdryer which I was grateful for. Great kitchen facilities too. Great stay.
