  : 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.

  : 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."

  : 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.
