Do not stay at Oyo Lina Guest House! This is the second poor experience I’ve had at this place. I book through hotels.com because that is where I always book my hotels. But for some reason, this hotel uses another booking service, Oyo, on top of hotels.com/Expedia, etc.My first experience at this lodge was a few months ago. I booked a room and when I showed up, they said there was no booking even though I had a clear booking on hotels.com. Luckily they had an extra room available and the situation was easily sorted. I wrote it off as a strange anomaly that wouldn’t happen again.I have just stayed again at the guest house and had a terrible administrative experience. I booked again through hotels.com and chose the “pay at the property” option when booking. (I wanted to make sure I had a room before paying!) The same day I booked, I received an email from Oyo saying they had charged me an £8 pre-authorization fee that I wasn’t aware of. Then they proceeded to charge the price of the hotel room as well even though I had chosen to pay at the property. I figured I’d be able to sort the situation once I got to the hotel.When I arrived, I asked about the administrative fee and the staff was defensive and dismissive and claimed they didn’t do it and couldn’t do anything about the charge. I was shocked that I couldn’t get an answer about the extra charge.It was “only” £8 but really they can charge you whatever they want and at the end of the day, you can’t do anything about it. This fee and service really spoiled my stay at this guest house. DO NOT stay here.

Stayed over with my husband and two kids (5m baby and 2yr) for one night, was very pleased with the customer service and the room. They were able to set up a cot for our baby in the room, which was very convenient. Rooms are clean. Breakfast was included and it was very good. Location is good, only 10-15 minutes by bus to the town centre, a little far considering the size of the town, but still easy to get to (and there are good restaurants and pubs around the area).

Unexpectedly had to find a room quickly in Oxford and Booking.con found me OYO Lina. The room was comfortable and clean with a good shower. Wasn’t expecting breakfast but turned out that was included in my room charge (<£100 for two).Good location for quick bus ride into town. Would very happily stay again.

(Lina Guest House), it has a British country style feel, breakfast dining area, but I have to go to Bath early tomorrow morning, so I won’t be able to make it in time, which is a pity. The room is quite clean, the reviews are good, and the price is in the Oxford area It's reasonable, NTD 5,800 per night (for three people) including breakfast. The only drawback is that the shower room is too small. It's difficult for me to bend down even if I'm 180cm tall. The location is quite close to Basin, just a few stops away by bus. arrive
