The guest house positively surprised me during my stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and wide, which is rare in oxford... Breakfast was very good with a lot of choice. The only negative sides are: - The bathroom that even if clean was really small: the sink is similar to those you can find... More

If you are looking for a place in Oxford that is not expensive, but still gives you the service you might expect from a hotel that is charging double the price, then The Isis is just the place. We had a lovely time in Oxford and the accommodation so near to Oxford University just added to the whole experience.

We visited Oxford for my Niece's wedding on Saturday. We stayed at the Isis Guest House, Iffley Road, Oxford.Everything was fantastic. The breakfast was excellent, and the staff were really helpful. The hotel is really close to the town centre and has a private carpark. I will definitely return on my next visit to Oxford.

This property was a bit of a disappointment for us in Oxford. The town is so grand that we expected a bit more of the property. the outside appearance is good but the rooms were extremely basic. We had asked for a room with 3 single beds. We got a twin room with a pull out cot. There is no... More

The Isis guesthouse is a bit different then other B&B's. Only during summer the guesthouse is used as B&B and the rest of the year it is college accommodation. The rooms are basic, but have all you need. Good beds, basic bathroom (good shower) and it was all very clean The location is ideal, just a 10 minutes walk and... More

This guest house is a super place to stay if you are on a tight budget but want to be in the city centre. Hotels are expensive in Oxford so I am glad I found this one. I stayed in the William Miller building, which is just a few minutes’ walk from Magdalen Bridge, and as soon as you cross... More

The Isis Guest House is only open during the University's summer holidays, as it's really accommodation for St Edmund's Hall. It is college accomodation, so fairly basic in terms of decor..But it's clean, well-heated and absolutely terrific if you want to work, as there's a desk in each room. (I had mobile broadband, so don't know if they do wifi).... More

The guesthouse is in an ideal location for walking into Oxford, but is not a typical B&B, it's guesthouse that for most the year and I believe is used as a dorm for students. The building, room, and bathroom have a bland and utilitarian feel but were all but very clean. Breakfast was tasty, albeit a little greasy, and while... More

I appreciated the owner's extended opportunity to park at the location. large enterprise- several townhouse like structures tied together with a long corridor. lack of common spaces. wifi did not work, but...

We went here after a night in Nanford Guesthouse, which was a complete disaster. When we arrived at Nanford, we went to search for something else as soon as we could. Isis only had places the next day. So, after a sleepless night at Nanford, we went to Isis Guesthouse. Cleaniness! The rooms were basic, but very clean and bright.... More
