Very good

Good place to stay before the Oxford half marathon

The property was out of town but an ideal place to stay before running the Oxford half marathon the day after. I was easily able to walk into town. There is also a convenience store close by, and free parking at the property where I left my car whilst doing the run. John who owns the property was very helpful and nice to talk to. My room was small but comfortable and just what I needed for the night, it was tidy and cosy. The shower was hot. The downstairs lobby had a nice place to sit down and an additional lounge.

It was probably a bit far out of town for most peoples needs.

Nothing to add to the above.

The Balkan Lodge would only claim to be "cheap and cheerful", offering a basic level of service for what is (for Oxford) a low cost. As such, the facilities were basic, but clean and attractive. The manager was also very friendly and helpful. Not somewhere you would spend a holiday, but perfect for the solo traveller if they are just staying a night or two. Also, less than half an hour's walk from the town centre. I would definitely stay there again if I were making a short visit to Oxford.

It would be nice to have had a proper shower cubicle rather than a bath and shower attachment.

Quiet comfortable stay

As many other reviews say, the facilities are very clean. The room has everything you need incl. bath accessories and a kettle with tea/coffee. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend this place.

Disappointng

The location was good and it was easy to walk into town.

The place was advertised as providing breakfast and none was available. There was also no iron in the room.

Very good

clean, comfortable, wishing they had offered breakfast

room was clean and airy. tea kettle came in quite handy. liked the small feel of the lodge. very comfortable.

wish breakfast was back as an option. had to go out to eat. my room was near the street and with the windows open the noise was more than i expected. overall a good stay, though, and i would stay again.

Pleasant

Good, but not that good.

Room was basic but looked like it had been recently refurbished and had all mod cons and enough hanging space.

There was no breakfast despite the description at booking.com I didn't mind going without it but I didn't like being misled by the description. When I pointed it out to the receptionist, I got the following responses: "What's booking.com?" "We haven't done breakfast for two years." "If you checked your confirmation e-mail you would have known."
