Seems some customers have issues with check-in. I didn’t but met person on the door who clearly didn’t get instructions - one needs to make sure to have the details before arrival. Also, check-out instructions (where to leave keys) not clear. It said daily housekeeping but I didn’t see any of it. The bed is a bit weird with a topper not really fitting the mattress. More for a person who’s out all day for work or exploring.

The booking was confirmed. But when we arrived, no check-in instructions, no-one there, buzzer doesn't work, phone number doesn't work, email address bounces back. Hotels.com had to move us. Please don't book.

Great for seeing Oxford

It’s very central and convenient for setting Oxford on foot. Nicely renovated room, quiet at night even though it was a Saturday. Slight hitch with the code to get in but this was resolved with a phone call.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
