All rooms above a barbershop on a parade of shops. Good size room, generally clean, a little grubby around the shower area. Overall, we would recommend it.

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 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.

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.
