This hotel is really just several rooms for rent without anyone onsite. Rooms do not have air conditioning, and amenities are sparse. The location is close to the heart of town but the alley pretty noisy with crowds at night and delivery trucks morning.

Henry's location off the main traffic streets but easily walkable to all points makes it the perfect location. The building is very secure. Just know our unit was up many steps and no lift, but we would definitely stay here again.

The building itself was unique and had lots of character. The room itself was good and had all you would need for a short stay. The location was incredibly convenient for visiting Oxford. However, there were multiple issues. There was mold in the shower and there was dust on the sheets. The shower drain only allowed you to shower for 3-4 minutes at a time because the drain was so slow and the shower basin would fill up. Check in information was given, but there was no checkout information and the company was unresponsive with all attempts to contact- I had to leave the keys in the room because I had no idea what else to do. Outside the location was noisy. Not sure I would recommend to anyone in the future.

Liked: Cleanliness
Lovely Hypnos divan bed base - but no proper mattress just a mattress topper so the bed was very hard and uncomfortable. Gorgeous fluffy pillows and good quality sheets. Great coffee machine but just 2 pods no fresh milk and very noisy fridge. Washing up liquid but no tea towel. 2 windows with heavy sound and light blocking curtains and 2 windows with broken blinds. So street lights all night and early morning light flooded into the flat. Contrary to what it says on the booking form - that a host greets you at this property It’s a self check in and you do need to ring them to share your details so they can send info as apparently they don’t receive that info from Expedia. The email provided for Henry’s bounced back for me hence the phone call. There’s no facility for early check in and you can leave bags with the parent hotel but some distance away. Self check in is easy - although the corridors are fairly dimly lit and we had to use phone torches to see the key pad even in the afternoon when we arrived. Two switch panels in place but missing switches - presumably to the ceiling fan - but it’s covered in dust so would probably have made the lovely bedding grubby if we had managed to put it on.

Great location and OK accommodation.

Henry's location is excellent. And the accommodation is OK. It's a bit tired around the edges (mould in the shower, windows not cleaned for several years, etc.) But OK. We missed the little things, like not being able to store our bags anywhere safe.

Not sure what to say

Safe didn't work, there was no room turnover, fridge contained an empty beer bottle, and there was a cockroach in the bathroom (never seen a cockroach in the UK before). The room door didn't deadlock, or lock from the inside. Quaint and in a good location though.

Near city center, very easy to access. Oxford is the beautiful town, definitely worth to stay at least two nights to explore the surrounding countryside.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights. We got the third level room and it was nice and served its purpose. My only complaint with the room was that the bathroom absolutely reeked of mold. Other than that, the location was great, very walkable, and we enjoyed our stay (other than the terrible mold smell).

We enjoyed our stay at Henry's very much. The room was clean, well kept and convenient to the central part of Oxford. There are only 4 rooms, and no desk or staff on site, but we called the number with questions and a real person answered and was very helpful. This stay was close to the train station and very centrally located for touring Oxford or finding good pubs.

Hurrah for Henry's

Excellent location, 6min (flat) walk from station, tucked away on a quiet, central road. Local amenities minutes away. Room itself, compact but everything needed available. Plenty to do around the city... Mon - Fri break just right.

Welsh girl graduated.

We met Rupert the owner at the property and he was very friendly and helpful. We had two rooms for two nights because we were attending our daughters graduation. The location was excellent right in the centre of town and made our visit extra special. Thank you’

A comfortable stay, it was lovely having a table and having a few plates and things as well as a fridge. It has been well thought out and was easy to access and it felt secure. Some noise from the upstairs apartment but they weren’t too noisy
