Athena Guest House

The room was huge, the bed was comfy, the shower was hot, there was coffee. We were at the back of the building and it was quiet. Totally fine for a night, very close to the O2. Would absolutely stay here again

Location, cleanness, friendly staff is among the pros. I stayed there for 6 nights and it was quite pricey. Although the cheapest guesthouse you will find in Oxford.

Amazing guest house that is run by very nice people! Enjoying my stay here, they really care about their customers. I know where I will be staying if I will have another trip to Oxford in the future. Laurence

It was fantastic!! Sure there wasn't a hot tub like they said, no breakfast, no kitchen like they said, and the room was pretty random but a big TV, a fridge to keep the beer, an iron, a comfy sofa the beds were alright big room with plenty of windows and a fan, a radio as well which didnt work but we had one. A random photo of a frog holding a sunflower also a random desk chair in the middle of the room. I mean sure the toilet wouldn't flush properly the shower was shockingly bad and the shower door bad a male shift handle to open it but i think it was brilliant! Only a 20 min walk from city center loads of restaurants and puns on the way (banging pub right opposite as well expensive pool though £1.50 a game be warned!) The owner was very leniant when me and the boys were turning up at different and random times without a key at 4am drunk off our minds, also left my car unlocked in the same spot for two days and only one person broke into it and all he did was clean the inside of my car for me. And to top it off they came in made our beds gave us fresh biscuits and tea and didn't complain about the anount of empty beer bottles and mess in the room. For the price it is FANTASTIC me and the boys will definitely be returning!!

Those ratings on google maps are uncanny. It's not a palace and it's a little bit noisy, but for the price you're paying it's very reasonnable and the beds are nice. I think it deserves 3 or 4 stars, but I'll give 5 to counterbalance all the bad faith I'm seeing.

Well maintained place in a good location! Stayed there for a short while, but gonna surely visit again soon! The rooms are spacious and cozy with everything you could possibly need during your stay. The staff are warm and friendly. All of this at a reasonably cheap rate! Thank you for having us. :)

I was a bit worried after looking at some of these reviews, but it was completely fine. The room was nice and clean. It might be due repainting some time, as there were one or two marks on the walls. The cupboards and shelves looked like they were pretty budget, but nothing at all wrong with them. It looked like good (and clean) hostel-standard-ish accommodation. I don't know what some people are expecting. The price was good. I wonder if one or two problems might stem from that English is not the owner's first language. Differences in background can make it seem that responses are a bit different to what we expect. If you have spent any time travelling you will know this. The owner was not unfriendly. I would stay again.

It was ok. You pay in in the advance and then on checkou you simply leave the keys in the room. There is no breakfast provided. Kitchen available. Room was clean. A little bit cold though. Bathrooms also ok. My room was just next to a bathroom, so it was noisy. The locatio is great - walking distance to lots of shops and nice restaurants. Bus stop nearby to get you to the city centre. The internet connection is great - 12M/10M.
