Oxford Street Apartments by Advan

First Impressions

Walking up to Oxford Street Apartments by Advan on one of London’s busiest shopping streets, you’d be forgiven for missing the entrance entirely — it’s tucked between the flashier storefronts that line this famous stretch. This three-star property doesn’t scream for attention, which is honestly refreshing when you’re dealing with the sensory overload that is Oxford Street. The building itself has that classic London look, though you can tell it’s been modernized for today’s travelers.

Location Perks

Here’s what I actually love about staying right here — you’re literally in the thick of everything, but once you step inside, the street noise fades considerably. Bond Street tube station is maybe a three-minute walk, which means you can hop on the Central or Jubilee lines without the usual London transport drama. Oxford Circus is right there too, so getting anywhere in the city is pretty straightforward. The only downside? Well, it’s Oxford Street, so expect crowds during shopping hours.

The Apartment Experience

Each apartment comes with its own kitchen, which is honestly a game-changer when you’re staying in central London for more than a couple nights. The units vary in size, but even the smaller ones feel thoughtfully designed rather than cramped. I mean, you’re not getting luxury finishes here — it’s more about practical comfort. The beds are decent, and there’s enough storage space that you won’t be living out of your suitcase the entire time.

Daily Life Here

What surprised me was how quiet my room actually was, considering the location. The windows do a solid job of keeping the street noise at bay, especially at night when the shops close and Oxford Street finally calms down. There’s no on-site restaurant, but honestly, with Fitzrovia and Marylebone just a short walk away, you’re spoiled for dining options. Plus, having that kitchen means you can grab groceries from the Tesco Metro around the corner and actually save some money on meals.

Why Guests Choose It

Look, this isn’t the kind of place that’ll wow you with fancy amenities or Instagram-worthy interiors. What it does well is give you a practical base in an absolutely prime location without completely destroying your budget. The 7.2 rating makes sense — it’s solid, reliable, and gets the job done. If you’re the type who wants to be steps away from major shopping, easy transport links, and the energy of central London, but you also appreciate having your own space to decompress, this place hits that sweet spot pretty well.
