I had been at the Oasis Hotel for 2 days when i came across the review that said the hotel was dirty, smelly and full of retrobates and shady looking staff. I've never wrote a review before but this did really annoy and upset me. I arrived in the evening with my 6yr old daughter. I was greeted and welcomed by a well presented and polite man who introduced himself as the manager. He showed us round so we knew where every thing was. The only thing i could smell was the smell of washing powder. He took us to our room, the only thing i noticed was how at ease me and my daughter felt. The room was clean with twin beds both of which had clean bedding. It had all the things you find in any hotel. The room was child friendly. We have been here for 4 days now and not had any bad experiences. All the staff are welcoming. They treat you with respect. I think this hotel is excellent for what it does. Its pet friendly, child friendly and people friendly. Its a shame the person who wrote the review isn't.

Other reviews are exaggerated! Granted, it wasn’t the cleanest, but it wasn’t too bad. Other guests were nice, staff were pleasant. Food was varied. Amazing for a budget hotel.

It's an outdated hotel but the beds were comfy, TV had tons of channels. The shower has wonderful great pressure. It's in the outskirts but you can walk to old Harlow in 20 minutes or to Tesco metro. The canal is a 10 minute walk. Train station is a two minute walk right next door. Friendly staff.

The Oasis Hotel. Great rooms. Lovely staff. The best Chinese and Indian food around cooked here. Dine in or out. This place is very quirky and like no other hotel. In a good way.
