The Nanford is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. My boyfriend and I booked a double room online for one night on the day our of stay. Our friend, who lives nearby, was having a house party and we didn't want to sleep on the floor. We aren't fussy, we didn't expect the Ritz - we just wanted... more

Stayed here for luckily one night only & the only reason we went through with it is because at the late stage we arrived we couldnt find anything else. This place will make your skin crawl....I would say that a temporary shelter for the homeless would be a better standard than this. I think the owner has mental health problems... more

We made a reservation on a tuesday without really checking the reviews. On Wednesday we found the articles on how bad this place was, and so we decided to cancel the reservation for Thursday -Saturday. A staff picked up the phone and said it was perfectly fine to cancel the payments for Friday and Saturday, but there is a 48... more

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
