Oxford Hotel

Good location and value

This is the second time I stayed here with my family, the first was in 2007. Since then the rooms have been painted and redecorated, which was a pleasant surprise; our room was large by London standards. However continental breakfast was downsized and is now almost spartan, with fresh fruit and yogurt no longer available, but the rolls, cold cereal, and juice are enough to get started. Location close to Lancaster Gate tube stop and Paddington Station is a definite plus. The street is relatively quiet for a large city and Mitre Pub is nearby as well as other good restaurants. Oxford Hotel staff members are courteous and helpful, too. This hotel is a good value for price, although there is no lift to upper floors, and I would stay there again.

Pick up a tour map at the front desk as it has 20% discounts to attractions and some fine restaurants. Oyster card or travel card (tube only, not the one with attraction admissions) are good values and the best way to get around London quickly.

A nice little hotel at a nice location

The hotel was conveniently located, within walking distance from the Paddington station and is near to a Tube station. The neighborhood is quiet. You can also walk to the Kensington Gardens easily from the hotel. The service was great. The hotel gave me a huge room on the first floor. I don’t know if the same sized rooms were assigned for other people. The room was comfortable enough. There were rooms on the floor below street level; I don’t know what the views are like in those rooms, or if I would like those room. The only matter of improvement that I could think of would be to improve the water pressure in the shower. The hot water was kind of weak, and it was not a very satisfying shower.

Good Location, Great Service

I’ve stayed at this hotel twice and both times have had excellent service. From carrying many suitcases upstairs, to getting an extra fan, the service was excellent. It has a great location, walking distance to Paddington Station.
