The Black Boy

Our fourth stay at the Black Boy - cosy comfortable room with a delicious breakfast and dinner added on . Good location with parking on the front , walking distance for hospital visits .

Our second stay at the Black Boy - good room with a delicious dinner and breakfast added on . Within walking distance of hospitals which is a bonus for us.

A very lovely place to stay

Great stay and the team were lovely, especially the lady who sorted out our key, really appreciated the excellent breakfast on Xmas day and can highly recommend for a stay

Really welcoming and friendly staff. Room was comfortable, clean and well equipped. Had evening meal in the pub and even though they had two large groups in for Christmas meals they looked after us really well. Staff are the standout but the place overall was great

Food was fabulous staff excellent. Breakfast great absolutely amazing food.

All the staff very friendly, professional and supportive. Lovely room, very comfortable bed, fresh linen and with the best shower ever.

Clean room, friendly staff, loved the dining options and the walkable area.

Lovely stay thanks to wonderful staff, though not as quiet or restful as I would have liked. Location is convenient for Oxford Brookes University and bus stops with routes into Oxford Centre. On arrival, I found out breakfast is served between 8 and 10, so I would miss breakfast on the two mornings of my course, as I had to leave at 7:30 on Saturday and 7:45 on Sunday. For Saturday there was nothing to be done, but for Sunday the incredibly lovely and attentive staff made me an early packed breakfast + lunch (as an alternative to make up for missed breakfast on Saturday). I am so grateful for the staff's kindness and flexibility, arriving early on Sunday to make sure I was fed - this is why I'm rating with 5 stars. I was only able to enjoy the delicious breakfast served on site on Monday - great variety and everything super tasty. Room and bathroom was super clean, nicely decorated and with welcoming touches: complimentary still and sparkling water, coffee, and biscuits. Mattress was uncomfortable, pillows were nice. Important to know: the rooms are right above the pub and three of them (mine included) face the street. Windows are not double glazed, so it is quite noisy until 11 pm on Friday and Saturday (car noise from street, conversations, laughter, music, and doors slamming). Lack of double glazing also makes for draughty rooms, and for some cigarette smell to sneak in from outside.

the staff, food and cleanliness are what makes this property worth the stay. The food was excellent quality, the rooms were super clean, its easy to get into oxford from there and the above all else the staff went above and beyond. Wonderful stay and would go again if visiting oxford thank you

Very clean, smallish room, comfortable bed. Climate control and window options appreciated. Nice restaurant and bar. Attractive patio for drinks out back. Nice atmosphere, friendly service and very good breakfast

Very nice all round. Great room and great food. Would recommend

Friendly establishment-the food was great and it was a perfect base for Oxford and Blenheim Palace.Large,quiet rooms and comfy bed.

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.
