PICKWICK GUEST HOUSE.OXFORD (UK)0X3 7SPBooked Pickwick guest house in Oxford. I request for a COLD BREAKFAST in my room the night before as I had an early get away in the morning..which was crossiant, boiled egg and yogurt and I had the RUDEST reply back..as they " would not accommodate in leaving a few items the night before!!The pleasant welcome I experienced was from Adnand at the reception...he was pleasant, well spoken and very helpful.To make matters more unpleasant was skimpy hot breakfast as my meetings were delayed that meant I could have breakfast which I had paid for!!The only one female kitchen staff...was so stressed at 7am was reeking smell of Nicotaine cigarette smoke and had a dry hacking cough of smokers lungs whilst cooking!She was coughing continously..not very pleasant experience!For her to take my order was very rude and unpleasant behaviour...and I asked her to calm down as " it was only breakfast I was ordering, not a 5 course meal!The breakfast for the price was very miserly.I egg, 1 hash brown,1 vegan sausage ( which she said will take 30 minutes )some beans..It is the SMALLEST ENGLISH BREAKFAST, I have had especially as had 8 hours of driving to do.AndTo ask for extra sausage and hash brown.. she said would cost more...what ?8.99!!!This guest house seriously need updating and redecorating..the windows of my ROOM 3 had so much mould on..looks like the window frames have never been cleaned!The guests toilet downstairs certainly needs paint work and paint on the heating pipes.I wonder if the owners house windows also are full of mould!!It sheer negligence of owner for such UNKEPT property and putting Guests at risk of breathing the spores of mould.Shower tray too had mould..just putting mould killer and doing bathrooms sealant would update the shower tray!!Needs paint work everywhere!!For guests who have asthma or allergy to mould can be seriously unsafe for them and their health.Would book elsewhere next time!!
