It’s a little way out of the centre but there are buses passing by every couple of minutes. It’s comfortable well appointed the walls are a little thin but it’s ok. You also have to go up a flight of stairs.

Terrible place to sleep
I did mot enjoy my stay at this hotel. Firstly i slept on a dirty bed. Discovered the sheet was not changed when i was about to sleep. At the time the guy incharge had left. As i am typing i have a terrible body itches with blisters ever since i slept in this place. To say i am disappointed is the list. The toilet was hurrible which i took some pictures.

I don’t recommend to females if she is alone because outside looks unsafe.
The room was clean.

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.

Ok budget option
It was ok. The bed was clean, but mattress not particularly comfortable. Pillows a bit thin and no extras. Bathroom & towels also clean but the shower was a bit sticky - got the right temperature in the end. This place is absolutely fine if you are wanting a no frills stay and you sleep easily anywhere. There is no reception after 8pm so as a solo female I felt a bit vulnerable - I realised afterwards it does say this on the website. The noise of the traffic is really loud. There is a fan so if it had been hotter it might have been ok to sleep with windows closed. The curtains are not blackout so the room is lit by streetlights at night and the sun streams in in the morning - they cant fix the traffic, but they could easily fix this. The guy who let me in was friendly. Bus stop right outside so excellent transport links into Oxford.
