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.

Not fit for purpose
I booked this accommodation last minute as it was just a one night stay Unfortunately this was a poorly maintained property with flimsy walls,very noisy and leaks in walls and property as shown in pictures is not fit for purpose.I don't think such a property should be advertised by a website like Hotels.com. I did call and inform the costumer service team of hotels.com of the state of this accommodation. I am not sure whether this property is still being advertised.

4/10 Fair

This was not a B & B in the normally expected sense. The picture of the premises that popped up when I viewed it was totally unlike the actual site. It showed what looked like two S/D houses, and both with the same Oxford House sign, and appeared quite impressive. The reality was a door between two shops, with a staircase leading to one floor with 7 rooms, and a 'cupboard' proudly displaying the name 'Reception'. No-one in attendance, so after ringing a given number, was told my key was in a postbox on the wall next to the entrance door. Not quite the service or amenities expected. There were no facilities at all, though there was free Wi-Fi. There were no dining facilities whatsoever. Suffice to say that this is the worst overnight experience of my life, and I would NOTrecommend this establishment in any way shape or form. I am not surprised that they took my money at the time of booking, so I had little option but to stay and make the best of things.
