Okay for the price.

A converted flat above a barbers in a not so picturesque part of town. Room looked recently decorated and was clean with a shower/ wet room, microwave and mini fridge although the mattress was old and uncomfortable. Advert says free parking, this is only true if there’s a space outside the shops everywhere else is resident parking only, I had to drive around for 15 minutes waiting for a space to open up. All in all you get what you pay for.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

Simple and did the job for one night.

Was contacted for checkin and warmly greeted. Accommodation consisted of en-suite room. Room was clean and simple. Wifi included which was good for work. Ensuite was dated and could do with a revamp or silicon reapplied. When shower is in use the whole bathroom got wet - a shower screen would be valuable. I would stay again if visiting one night.

Okay for an Overnight Stay

The Oxford House is a reasonable back-to-basics hotel tucked away amongst some foot outlets. It is okay for an overnight stay as the rooms are just a bed, a desk, and a shower/bathroom, and that's it. The biggest concerns might be the electricals, with a broken TV frame and their kettle boiling near the sockets on the desk. Still, the lamp raises alarm bells with its flickering light - even the 'receptionist' dismissed it as a bad connection with its plug and didn't replace it. The bed is fine for what it is, but you can feel where the sheets end and the mattress start - and where they store the additional bedding. The shower en-suite is a reasonable space, although seeing a bit of the carpet when stepping up into the bathroom must be a nightmare when tackling the splashbacks from the shower. It's a lovely shower with all the basics you expect with an en-suite. For a stay near Temple Cowley, it is acceptable to access the Templars Square shopping precinct, within walking distance from all the fun and atmosphere that Cowley Road offers. It feels like a converted office space into these hotel rooms, and it is probably feasible for a budget stay in Oxford.

It was fine for one person, especially for the price, and if you don't need to stay in the room during the day. The loo, shower and sink were all just in one small tiled room with no shower curtain and with minimal ventilation.

Excellent Budget Accommodation

This little place provides a great 'bed for the night' experience. Family run, there are 6 rooms. It is very clean and comfortable and quiet. You have an en-suite wetroom, also very clean. Fresh towels every day, soap and shower gel. There is a flat panel T.V., free WiFi and tea, coffee and hot chocolate available in the room. There is also a bus stop right outside which has very frequent services on the 1, 5 & 10 leading to Cowley, which is a busy, vibrant little sub-district in itself and onto the City Centre. A 24 hour pass costs £4.20 and you can travel on any bus all over the city for that. There is one free parking space right outside, which we were luck to get. There is also other free parking available nearby. We hope to return to Oxford in the Summer and would definitely stay at this place again.
