The stay at St. Sephens House was very nice. The building is located in a quiet street, there is a beautiful garden. The staff are very, very friendly and helpful. The rooms and shower rooms are very clean. You can walk to Oxford city center in 20 minutes, but there are also bus connections. Cafes and stores open 24 hours and supermarkets are close by. Overall, the accommodation at St. Stephsn House is highly recommended for guests in Oxford.

We had a lovely stay at St. Stephen's House. We spent the weekend in Oxford for a friend's DPhil graduation, and St. Stephen's was the perfect place to stay – great location, quiet, clean, and the people were friendly. Good breakfast, too. Would definitely stay there again and recommend to others visiting Oxford.

The staff were lovely & the breakfast was nice. The room was a little run down for the price. Would have been wonderful to have a garden or lounge area to relax in. A mini bar fridge would have come in handy too. Really need a recycling bin for guests to use too. Overall a nice stay. 😊

Quiet and convenient location. Breakfast ( full English), was good but we missed it the first day as we had to leave before it was served. It's a shame there is no takeaway option, like a croissant and piece of fruit say.

This was a superb experience- clean, quiet rooms in the eaves with large comfortable bed , spacious kitchen area and table and chairs in a separate room. Easy to find and a 20 minute walk to the centre of Oxford.

It is kindly asked that you do not arrive before check-in, as your bedroom will not be ready.
