Pleasant stay
Pros:

It was easy to find near lots of restaurants and shops. It was comfortable and clean for the most part.

Cons:

It wasn't explained that we had to wait for someone from another building to come and let us in.
Multipul cobwebs in the room and the bed was very squeaky.

Pros:

Close to where I needed to be

Cons:

Cold room, small bathroom and shower, I would have said great value for money but considering I've recently had an excellent value for money booking for the same price, I can't say this about this stay.

More of a hostel than a guest house.
Pros:

I, unfortunately, didn't realise this is an unstaffed hotel.

It was tiny, pretty cramped, although it looked clean, I wasn't confident about the hotel as it feels 'unloved', if that makes sense.

My tiny attic room was ok but as I mention...tiny and the tiniest bathroom was only a step away from mine and another guest's room. The other guest could probably hear me breathing, it really is that cramped on the top floor.

If I'd realised this was more like a hostel than a guest house, I wouldn't have booked it.

The bonus was the fact I got to park in a parking space right in front of the guest house, on their private drive - a rare privilege for Summertown!
