My stay at Oxford House was a mixed experience. The friendly staff and comfortable bed were definitely highlights, but I faced a few issues that detracted from the overall comfort. The location was fantastic, close to many restaurants and shops, yet the noise from the pool area was sometimes bothersome. Overall, it was decent, but improvements are needed.

Rooms

The room was small yet efficient, featuring a comfortable queen-sized bed and a mini fridge. The decor was pleasant, with colorful cushions and drapes. However, the bathroom was tiny, and I struggled with some amenities like the air conditioning not performing well. Overall, a solid room for solo travelers, though not ideal for longer stays.

I had a pleasant overall experience at Oxford House in Sydney, especially due to the fantastic location and friendly staff. However, I encountered some issues regarding noise levels and outdated practices with credit card deposits. The room was clean and had decent amenities, but I wish it had been quieter for a more restful stay. 🌟

While the hotel had pool and courtyard facilities that looked inviting, I didn't have a chance to enjoy them. The lack of a working lift during my visit made carrying luggage a bit of a hassle, especially with some rooms overlooking the pool area being noisy during my stay.
