Unfortunately I have to start with the bad things about the property. This is the first hotel room I have stayed in where there were cockroaches, I had killed 7 in total during the 3 nights here. The bathroom water also had a funny smell, especially when using the hot shower. Overall the hotel seemed dated too. For AU$160/night it felt not up to standard. Other than that the hotel was ok, check in and check out were easy, and the location near Bugis and 3 MRT stations was excellent.

Just had a 2 night stay at this hotel & we were very dissappointed for Singapore standards - the air con vent in the room was ready to fall from the ceiling, i could see into the roof space from the bathroom light, there was a vent above the bed that seemed to vent to the ceiling cavity, there wasn't a fridge in the room, breakfast was only a Chinese style, the tv was a 18'' monitor style, the shower leaked into the bathroom floor, the hotel was very noisy from people slamming doors and disregard for other hotel patrons, this hotel should only be rated at 1 star. This hotel needs a lot of work to bring it anywhere near a 3 star

F1 accommodation
Hotel was ok for what we needed (F1) but reception staff didn’t really smile much and WiFi was not much good as had to put password etc every time we came back. Asked at reception but was told that’s just how it is. Not very helpful. Oh and the shower was cold always...but good for basic F1 accommodation.

Agreeable hotel at a price to match.
Oxford has a great location in the city beside Bugis and 2 minutes walk from the nearest MRT station. The room was basic and clean and the hotel fit for a weekend or business stopover where simply a bed will do. For the location, no frills and price this is a good option.

Good location poor quality
Pros: great location, subway station one minute away, a walk away from many turistic attractions. Cons: very dirty, very old, smells bad, many things were broken and almost no wifi in the room, when I asked about the wifi signal the staff response was " try leaving the door open to use the wifi"... just unbelievable. I will never return to this hotel nor recommend to anyone.

We were only in Singapore for one night and a day, and needed somewhere close to attractions, but also comfortable for a good night's rest, with an ensuite and free wifi. The Oxford Hotel ticked these boxes, and was within our price range.

Useless hotel
The hotel was disappointing.....Cleanliness and maintenance very poor......The room safe did not function and no one showed any interest to get it working. The Internet was deplorable, despite paying an additional $20.00, everyday it failed and was never available after midnight. The staff know nothing about getting it fixed. The breakfast was an apology. Actually substandard. I do not know how expedia promotes this hotel......It is an eye wash.....not worth $60.00 a day too. The overall experience was.......never again......I was stuck with a pre-payment (non refundable) otherwise would have chosen to walk out and look elsewhere. Tarun Batra
