The Old Black Horse - Inn

Oxford

Perfect location, couldn’t fault the room at all , spotlessly clean with a little fridge that had water and milk . Lovely housekeeping lady gave us extra tea bags . Room even had 2 dressing tables , ideal for 2 girls . Arch in the bar was very friendly and welcoming would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere central to Oxford especially as it included parking. 

Excellent stay and location 

Avoid. A tasteless hotel that hosts awful DJ sets and has tacky LED lighting all over the place and a strange werewolf creature displayed in the window from last halloween no doubt. The building could be used more efficiently as a nice cozy pub but instead its lost its way and is just a hovel. 

Avoid

At £100 a night with free parking, you get what you pay for. Have stayed here a couple of times, and it’s been fine as a base. You expect some level of noise and disruption, it’s a pub on a busy road. Stayed here this weekend and was happy that we got a room at ground level with no stairs and easy access. 
Once in the room and got properly acquainted, there were a couple of things that were not ok, even for a cheap and cheerful break. 
The kitchen was filthy 
The bathroom windows full of mould
The shower is dangerous, either freezing you to death or giving you third degree burns. 
No water pressure so the toilet doesn’t flush .
Didn’t see the point in saying anything, we were only going to be in the room at night and we would manage. 

On the Sunday afternoon we had returned to the room for a rest, to be woken up by ridiculously loud music- a DJ had set up right outside the bedroom window, the room and the windows were shaking and it was unbearable. 
Quickly got ready and left to go out for food. We returned at around 10 pm to find the music still playing, you could hear it from the Magdalen bridge. The beer garden was rammed, which is obviously good for business but there was a very strong smell of weed. 
Not judging and I was glad people were having a good time, each to their own and all that. But there was absolutely no thought for guests. 
I asked why we hadn’t been informed of the event and apparently it was a last minute thing. So tough luck basically. 
This completely ruined what had been a lovely weekend up to that point. 
I don’t think the place  should be advertising as anything other that a place for contractors to stay, it’s lost it’s focus and is an absolute hovel.

Absolute hovel - avoid

Stayed after reading previous reviews, when we arrived on Friday , we were shown to our room, don’t get me wrong , it wasn’t the Hilton, but was good enough. No issue with the shower as mentioned in the last review, and looking at it , the shower was new. We were at the front, and yes there was a DJ playing, and to be honest, if you book a stay in a pub over bank holiday weekend, you could safely say there is going to be some sort of entertainment going on, so don’t book a pub and stop moaning( previous review) and also the music, although not to my particular taste, was pretty good. I wouldn’t hesitate staying there again. Only issue was the small cooler, wasn’t cool enough. We stayed in room 5

Great visit to Oxford

Would definitely recommend.  Pete, who runs the pub, was extremely welcoming and friendly, offering tips on what to see and how to get there. Very quaint building, the floors and walls were all uneven due to the age of the building but our room was nice and clean and had everything we needed for a one night stay. We were even able to leave our luggage before and after check in/out so we could wander around Oxford unhindered.

Great night’s stay

Very clean bedrooms and very spacious. Able to accommodate myself and my two children all in the same room when a lot of hotels couldn’t (unless I paid double). 5 minute walk to the centre of Oxford. Very helpful staff who kept our baggage on our last day to enable us to sightsee without luggage on our last day. Will definitely come back.

Great place, immaculate room, very helpful staff.

Aargh, the worst hotel/ inn stay we've had in 50 years of extensive travelling. 
Very loud drinkers and music from the bar, plus traffic noise, goes on until 1am with no let-up.  Grossly over-expensive room and no breakfast.
Room comfortable enough but if you want any sleep our advice is summarised in one word - AVOID! 

Terrible stay at high cost

Inexpensive close to city with parking , noisy at night as on main road , 
Clean and friendly, does what you pay for , bad reviews are a bit unfair as it’s cheap and cheerful,
Shower was good , bed comfy , asked for extra pillows , no problem.
Tea coffee and kettle , mini fridge water etc

Uni drop off

This is a very good value accommodation and it is a great location for visiting Oxford. Like the quirkiness of the place too. The free parking is great to have. Nice to get free water and have kettle in room with milk sachets provided in the small fridge. 

Shower was not powerful unfortunately so was hard to wash soap away and if you were over 5’2” you would struggle standing in the bath to shower. Had to clean plug hole of hairs and had to clean drawer to put my clothes in. Was a bit noisy but depends on where room is located obviously. 

Quirky rooms. Good value, good location but last stay for us. Would not recommend for someone with mobility difficulties as uneven flooring.

Good value accommodation

Stayed here for a night, we wanted to be close to town, easy/free parking and circa 100-120 pounds, this ticked all the boxes

Our room was fine, noise wasn't an issue. Bed had a few bumps in it, iron but no ironing board, tea/coffee making ingredients but no kettle, otherwise all fine

Owner was polite/friendly, it wasn't too busy so we could drop the car off early on the first day.

I've staying in much better, but this was fine for us.
