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.

We stayed here for one night and had a really lovely stay. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, the room was lovely and had everything we needed; really comfy bed, tv, bottled water, kettle, plenty of tea-bags, coffee machine and hairdryer. Breakfast was delicious and we had a great meal in the pub in the evening. Would love to return.

We stayed at The Black Boy, Headington, hidden away on the outskirts of Oxford and a cheap taxi ride into town. From the moment we arrived the manager and her staff were so welcoming and really helpful. Atmosphere was great, room comfy and breakfast lovely. Would recommend!

Nice place deep in Oxford neighbourhood. Not much around to walk to. Food was good and parking easy. Recommend if you have business in neighborhood. 1 to 1.4 hrs to LHR

The Black Boy was a lovely stay in an original pub. The staff were lovely, as well as helpful, the pub was a short walk from shops and cafes. And the staff graciously called us a taxi into Oxford. We stayed here for a wedding in Oxford and it was the perfect stay. The room was very clean, well stocked with tea and coffee, and the local soaps were nice in the clean and modern bathroom. Breakfast in the morning was great, too, with a proper full English breakfast.
