Good choice of accommodation if willing to be some distance from city centre
Pros:

Had all the requirements for a pleasant overnight stay with added bonus of friendly staff, opportunity to check in early and free parking ( often an extra cost in Oxford!) Some distance from the actual city centre ( 30 minutes walk) but frequent bus service. Good range of shops and restaurants in the vicinity.

Great value for money for a comfortable stay
Pros:

Great hotel. I've stayed twice now and had a positive stay on both occasions. It's a little further out but there are plenty of buses providing easy access to the city centre. Rooms are comfortable and clean.

Cons:

I booked last minute on my second stay (same day) and hadn't received any details on how to access the property / room by the time I arrived at about 8pm. However, I called the hotel and a staff member arrived within 10 minutes of me calling to let me in. A minor point though and quickly remedied.

Very pleasant and comfortable.
Pros:

Comfortable and very responsive staff.

Cons:

Parking was not available for our large car so that was a problem on arrival. Staff tried to respond. Stairs so a bit of a struggle with luggage.

Horrible expierence
Pros:

O was staying with my partner and 10 years child.I booked Deluxe Room with double bed and one single however i had room with 2 single beds.There was only 2 towels and 2 cups so looked like room was for 2 people not 3 what we paid for.There was no hot water from the tap in a bathroom,floors squicky,room was really hot.Also on booking page there was no explanation how to get into your room,only when I rang number which I found also on a sign outside guest house,so staff explained there was key safe by front door,he told us code and that way we got our key but all this information should be provided on booking.com system.
I didn't ring and complained about beds situation that night cos we arrived late and we had to leave early and my child was exhausted so I left it but basically we had one of the worst stays ever.DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS GUEST HOUSE

Cons:

We didn't get the room we paid for, 2 single beds for 2 adults and child is beyond joke
