We were attending a wedding in Oxford and the city centre hotels were very expensive. The reviews for the Black Boy were good so we booked. It was a joy to stay here and we had a fabulous weekend.. Great location - about 10 mins in taxi from centre and bus stop about 5 mins or so walk. Buses went to the city centre and railway station. The room was lovely, as were the welcoming staff. Breakfasts were very good and the pub had a nice atmosphere and an outside garden area. Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Oxford.

Amazing pub and hotel. The beds were super comfy and the room was clean and had all facilities you needed with a kettle, coffee maker and bottled water. The food was amazing had two very nice evening meals, lots to choose from and freshly cooked. Breakfast was the same the scrambled eggs I have never tasted anything like it they were really enjoyable. Staff were very welcoming and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They have advice on the best places to visit and the buses to catch into Oxford city centre. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend for anyone who is visiting Oxford as this place is very central and only 20 mins on bus to Oxford centre.

Friendly and great Customer Service
This is a lovely thoughtfully styled hotel. The staff are all genuinely friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. Decent water pressure in the shower. Generous supply of tea/coffee in room. Variety of tasty options on the dinner menu. The Full English Breakfast is a must have. Good central location for sightseeing. Would highly recommend and definitely would return.
