This hotel was absolutely incredible—clean, beautifully designed, and smelled amazing. The staff were friendly, and the location was unbeatable, with retail, bars, restaurants, and clubs all nearby, plus easy access to trains and buses. One of the best places I’ve stayed, and I’d return in a heartbeat!

Disappointed

We did read the reviews and got slightly concerned, however we always like to judge for ourselves. I was hoping this would be a new spot we'd love to stay at when in Sydney for work but we won't be returning. Firstly it says the hotel has parking but on arrival, we got told they don't. Thankfully, the gentleman let us stay in the car park for a $50 charge which is fine - we always expect to pay for parking in Sydney. Secondly, we read the lift was working on a review from 3 weeks ago. The lift still isn't working and they said it's going to be a while. Thirdly, we had no towels in our room so had to request we got some from reception. When we had a shower we discovered there was a massive leak in the seal and water went all over the floor of the whole room that doesn't have a rug. We also read about this issue on a review from weeks ago. You think they wouldn't still put people in that room until the issue is fixed. The room number is 320! And lastly, they did move us to a new room after I requested it because our floor was covered in water. We found 2 large cockroaches in the new room. The gentleman who served us was very understanding and kind and did also seem embarrassed because of these issues that I feel are ongoing problems for this hotel but have just not been looked at properly. On check out, I did inform the new receptionist of our issue and he was quite arrogant about it all but did comp our parking. If they fix up some basic things, this hotel could be ok.

Oxford House is in a great location, with renovated rooms that are exceptionally clean and comfortable. Worth noting the car park is small and not for large vehicles! Our stay could have been improved by adding additional touches to the room, like an iron and ironing board, providing housekeeping services earlier in the day. The major flaw with our room was twofold. The bathroom was ridiculously small. It was a struggle to get into and out of the shower, dry yourself and generally move about without opening the bathroom door and even then it was tight! The second issue was the soundproofing, with the hall access door slamming just outside our room at all hours of the night resulting in a little sleep. Probably wouldn’t stay here again for these reasons, despite the location.

staff was lovely, but there was an issue with our room that really impacted the whole experience. The water from the toilet was running for the whole night with no way of fixing it, our sleep was really awful with the water noise for the whole night. The pool and the bar was amazing but overall not absolutely satisfied

I have been wanting to stay at OH for quite a while. The hotel is nice & well located to Darlinghurst & Paddington. Room was huge (Terrace room - 2 bathrooms, lounge & bed) but the road noise was terrible. The lift was broken for our entire stay, being on the third floor & lugging cases up & down the stairs was not ideal. Given free cocktails at the pool but couldn’t use them as the pool bar closed quite early. Two air con systems but one was leaking & luckily not the one that had my phone under it charging! Overall I think it’s okay but the Oxford Street road noise will put me off staying again.

For our one night stay, thought with the location and standard of room great value. The room was modern, loved the tiles in bathroom and how the space was used wisely. The bathrooms near pool were really great too. The front desk staff did seem unorganised and hard to communicate with. We were told we would get a text message when room was ready, which never came. The room wasn’t ready by 2pm and we saw others check in after us, go straight to a room (gave benefit of doubt that they had different room type). On check out, I asked if parking would be charged to the card given at check in, and was confidently told yes, but not the case and charged to a different card. The parking is terrible and definitely shouldn’t be charged $50 to use. Very tight space (there is maybe 6 parks available total and you’re down amongst the property services workers (which I have no issue with - it must be horrible for them), with no signage on how to get to the front desk.
