Oxford Hotel

Oxford Hotel Overview

First Impressions

The Oxford Hotel sits right on Queen Street in Singapore, and honestly, the location is what immediately caught my attention. This three-star property doesn’t try to be something it’s not — it’s a solid, no-nonsense hotel that gets the basics right. The building itself has that classic Singapore shophouse-meets-modern-hotel vibe, which I actually find more charming than some of the massive glass towers you see everywhere else.

Location & Neighborhood

You know what’s great about Queen Street? You’re basically in the heart of everything without being stuck in the touristy chaos of Orchard Road. I mean, couples absolutely love this spot — they consistently rate the location around 8.7, and I can see why. You can walk to the Singapore Art Museum in about five minutes, and the whole Bras Basah cultural district is right at your doorstep. Plus, there’s this amazing local coffee shop just around the corner that most tourists never find.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was compact but thoughtfully designed — typical Singapore style where every square meter counts. The air conditioning works like a dream (crucial in this climate), and the bed was surprisingly comfortable for a three-star place. Sure, it’s not going to win any design awards, but everything you need is there, and the WiFi actually works properly throughout the building, which isn’t always a given in older Singapore hotels.

Practical Considerations

Look, I’ll be straight with you — this isn’t a resort with fancy amenities. There’s no spa or elaborate restaurant, but that’s kind of the point. What you get instead is a clean, well-maintained place to sleep in an excellent location for a fraction of what you’d pay at the big chain hotels. The staff speaks excellent English (obviously) and Mandarin, and they’re genuinely helpful with directions and recommendations. Parking can be a bit tricky in this area, but honestly, you don’t really need a car when you’re this centrally located.

Why Guests Love It

The Oxford Hotel works because it knows exactly what it is — a solid base for exploring Singapore without breaking the bank. The location score of 8.7 isn’t just a number; it reflects how easy it is to get anywhere from here. You’re walking distance from multiple MRT stations, surrounded by authentic local food (the hawker centers nearby are incredible), and you can actually experience Singapore like someone who lives here rather than just passing through. It’s the kind of place where you spend your money on experiences rather than fancy hotel amenities you probably won’t use anyway.

Singapore’s hotels wrap guests in Peranakan charm, fragrance gardens, and concierge-led cultural tours.
