Room was very clean and ideal for our needs. The gentleman who met us was very polite and helpful and even carried our bag to the room. I had missed the email he had sent with check in instructions but he was most helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

6/10 Good

Convenient position central near shops and Britannic Gardens. Pretty basic and unprepossessing, but adequate. Very helpful man took luggage up narrow stairs. Otherwise no staff in evidence.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Staff were friendly and helpful and the room (7) was clean. The shower leaked badly and took a long time to get to temperature and the keycard rarely worked smoothly, taking quite a while to buzz into the room. However, these were relatively minor problems. The noise from the road is significant and especially when the O2 academy across the road is open. Earplugs are essential if you need a quiet room. Would probably consider using again, though.

The room was large and clean. Based on location be prepared for Uni kids to load a boisterous all night (and I mean all night to 0600)…
Verified review

6/10 Good

The room was comfortable enough, albeit a bit shabby around the edges. The gentleman who greeted me was very friendly and kind. However the amount of noise from the adjacent rooms made the stay unpleasant at times - people up at all hours of the night slamming doors, yelling, etc. You could hear every sound and unfortunately the other tenants were not very considerate of others - not really the establishment's fault. Additionally the room had a bad smell any time you didn't leave the windows open. One day I came back from being out for the day and it smelled like someone had smoked a cigarette in there, which I couldn't understand how that happened.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Crown House is an east Oxford gem. Very reasonably priced rooms, maintained spotlessly, and managed by a kind, very hospitable, and attentive staff. Cowley Road location is ideal given local superabundance of genuine ethnic restaurants, multiple supermarkets, specialty stores, and Oxford's largest bike shop. Local buses run constantly on Cowley Road with easy, easy access to the city center. Crown House's Cowley Road location is also an easy walk to the Oxford Tube Bus stop on the near St. Clement's Street serving London's Victoria Station and the Airlines Bus also with a separate stop on the nearby St. Clement's Street (with very frequent, inexpensive direct coach service to Heathrow and Gatwick airports. So What's not to love here?? Do be advised that all rooms at Crown House occupy the second floor of the building up a steep flight of steps. There is no lift (elevator) so this property is not wheelchair accessible at all.

Crown House is a small property run by a superbly hospitable, attentive, and very welcoming staff. Cleanliness of the property is impeccable. Its location on the Cowley Road is ideal since that thoroughfare offers a huge array of tasty, affordable dining options (great Turkish, Chinese, Persian, and North African restaurants). Even better, Cowley Road is served by a great many buses going directly in to central Oxford. This makes city access and touring extra-easy. There are also numerous shops, a large, well-stocked Tesco supermarket, and small businesses quite close to the property. Room 4 there is especially large, quite comfortable, and faces Cowley Road itself through grand windows. Light sleepers should be aware that there is a large, very popular music venue directly across the street from Crown House. The musical performances here (3 to 4 times a week) are entirely inaudible within Crown House itself, but exiting crowds of young concert-goers can be quite loud, even raucous between the hours of midnight and 1:00 a.m. on concert nights. Otherwise, Crown House is a perfect, very reasonably priced Oxford stay in a real, diverse, and vibrant neighborhood. So go already!

2/10 Poor

We made an impromptu plan to spend the night in Oxford and, while looking for something within our budget for three adults, we came across this property. The property itself appears to have been refurbished internally, with the lobby in particular looking newly renovated. However, the surrounding locality felt quite rough, which was not something we felt was reflected in the reviews. The main issue during our stay was a strong foul smell coming from the toilet. It appeared that there may have been an issue with the plumbing or ventilation, as the smell returned whenever the bathroom door was opened. We tried various ways to get rid of the smell, and Ahmed, one of the staff members, was very understanding and helpful throughout. Unfortunately, the issue seemed to be beyond what could reasonably be resolved during our stay. The fan provided was also quite squeaky and appeared to be blowing accumulated lint/dust into the room, so it was not particularly effective or pleasant to use. Overall, the staff were helpful and accommodating, but we would recommend that the owners investigate the plumbing/ventilation issue, as this significantly affected our experience.

Easy walk to campus. Good value. Street noise, but overall a great place to stay.
