Having stayed in this flea pit for the last 4 nights I wish I hadn't. The landlord is not just brusque he is downright rude, when asked if a discound was available for no breakfast or for staying for 8 weeks he had a tirade about how cheap he already was and how it was the "cheapest in Oxford", this... more

Lack of any accommodation left in Oxford led us to stay at this filthy, minging toilet. This place smells of pee/smoke, has appalling decor, is noisy, has junk everywhere and is so tired it's fallen asleep. We didn't dare have anything cooked for breakfast. I wouldn't recommend this place to a rat though I'm sure some rats haven't heeded this... more

I arrived at the Nanford solo, in order to sort out various bits and pieces within Oxford, and I chose it without looking at reviewsas it was cheap, what a mistake. The Landlord initially showed me to a room in a building that frankly feels unstable. The room itself was barely big enough to swing a cat in, the bedding... more

We have read the other reviews about Nanford on this site and cannot really agree with them. Yes it is a rather dated guesthouse (old style carpet, narrow staircases, old decor), but it had a hell of a lot going for it, and was well worth the 40 pounds per night per double room. The room - very clean, airy... more

I booked in at the Nanford before realising the joys of reading reviews on hotels. This place is cheap - so understandably I anticipate cheap accommodation! But I was still shocked by the state of this hotel. The owner at first was very abrupt - I don't want to be unkind but he seems to lack a few social skills... more

Not sure why we didn't but would find agreement with about 90% of comments. Proprietor is not a man of many words but did try to be helpful in offering choice of rooms and has a polite and helpful brother helping out with an ample but rather greasy "english breakfast" Offered off street parking at rear but because so many... more

We came to Oxford to visit family, my cousing gave us 5 or 6 numbers for B&B's to try. Prices ranged from £40-£199 per night. As we had planned to use the accommodation for sleeping and showering only, we opted for the cheapest, which was £40 per night at the Nanford. Like others, we did not read the reviews, only... more

For some reason, my Mum and I booked in for four nights at the Nanford without reading the reviews - BIG mistake. When we arrived the smell hit us and it was not pleasant, especially the dining room. We were given a choice of rooms and opted for a ground floor room in one of the other buildings. At first... more

A group of 5 or so of us stayed at the Nanford when we came down for a friend's wedding in the Summer. Knowing from our student days that the road had a few b&bs on it, we were confident that the quality would be competitive. We were wrong. To start off with, I had booked 1 family room and... more
