We just returned from a stay in London at this wonderful little hotel. The room was very nice and clean. We made full use of the hot pot for coffee, and the microwave. The en suite bathroom was perfectly adequate. The location is perfect. A lovely area with many nearby restaurants, cafes and pubs. The short walk to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens made for some wonderful afternoons in the outdoors. The nearby Paddington underground and rail station made getting around a snap. We would definitely stay here again and recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a great value in London.

The Hotel has a great location - close to Lancaster Gate tube, Paddington Station and numerous shops and restaurants. It's also very close to Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park.
Our room (for 4) was clean and neat and suffiently spacious. The en suite was more than adequate and not as tiny as some we saw during our trip. The room included a small fridge and microwave so we didn't have to eat out every night.
Service was great - the staff were friendly and always helpful.
The price was good and included continental breakfast.
Altogether, I thoroughly recommend this hotel - it certainly contributed to our enjoyment of London.

Me, My Wife, and my 12 year old son stayed at this hotel in february 2009 for a weekend.
The room was very clean and well kept, simple and basic.
Only 2 minutes walk from lancaster gate tube station.
The only bad thing is that our room was on the top floor and after a long day of sightseeing in london getting up the steep stairs can only be described as a challenge.
Not reccomended for the disabled or elderly but overall a good hotel.

This hotel claims they are one of the best value hotels for the location. What they don't tell you is you definitely only get what you pay for. Stains on bedding, pillows grubby. Heating is on sporadically and rooms can get very cold, especially room G2 which has a big window. My wife and myself came back from an evening show to a freezing room. So cold that bedding felt damp. We were offered a small electric heater or to move to another room which would still not have any heating on. We decided to cut our losses and leave. If you are going to stay in a London hotel please please pay a bit extra and have some comfort. I've learnt my lesson the hard way. You have been warned!

My wife and I stayed at the Oxford Hotel November 2006.

It was small room with an even smaller bathroom. Nothing fancy as we weren't going to be spending a lot of time in the room itself. Bed and shower were all we needed.

It was in a great location. Walkable to multiple tube stations (Paddington, Bayswater, Lancaster Gate, Queensway).

My only problem with the hotel was that they didn't turn on the heat until the evening. (I think it was 5 or 6pm.) Because we were visiting during the winter time, the rooms got cold during the day. It made it uncomfortable to sleep in too late into the morning or to take a nap during the day.

Otherwise, there wasn't anything else that I could complain about the room.
