Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Golden Cross Guesthouse enjoys a fantastic location right on Cornmarket Street, placing you in the heart of Oxford near attractions like the Covered Market, which some guests appreciate for its quiet atmosphere at night. The rooms, some within a Grade 1 listed building, offer spacious layouts, and facilities include a shared kitchen equipped with a washing machine, fridge, kettle, and tea/coffee. While some guests have noted the unavailability of the hob and oven due to fire regulations, the guesthouse still provides excellent value for its central location.
