From the moment my wife & I arrived to our departure a couple of days later we were in awe at how friendly and attentive each member of staff was. The location is without peer and the standard of accommodation and servicing of our suite was superb. If you intend to visit Oxford, we recommend the Old Bank Hotel. On... More

We stayed one night in May at this centrally located hotel. Room was spacious clean and had a lovely view of the "dreaming spires" of Oxford. We took the jazz dinner package and enjoyed a very nice meal along with some pleasant music in the conservatory restaurant a short distance from the main hotel.

This small boutique style hotel is a marvelous way to enjoy all of Oxford. Situated right on the main street, you can walk everywhere, enjoy museums, galleries, fine restaurants, and great shopping. The restaurant, Quod, is excellent! Great outdoor dining as well. The GM is one of the best we have ever encountered!

We would echo the comments of other reviewers. The hotel is expensive but well worth the price. The friendliness of the staff is superb, and the rooms extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the art on display--the equivalent of a small gallery. Do try Quod restaurant: food from farm to table--and delicious!

My husband and I stayed for one night on a B&B basis. On arrival at 11.00am we asked if we could leave the car in the car park and come back later to check in and we were told our room was ready. We were also told we had a room upgrade. What a treat! The room was at the... More

From our initial greeting to service at dinner and breakfast, our stay was just excellent and I do not say that lightly. The rooms are well appointed. The staff cannot do enough for you and cheerfully too. We will be back. You must grab the free bikes for a ride around Oxford as its easier than walking and way more... More

This is an expensive hotel (£248 B&B) which can only justify the price by its location, in the centre of Oxford. After receiving a number of emails confirming our booking, welcoming us, giving directions to find the hotel and so on, our expectations were high. First impressions at Reception were excellent. However, it all went pear shaped from there: i)... More

Thanks very much for your review I'm so sorry you had some issues with your stay. My young staff member did not act appropriately and his choice of words were a little misdirected. I would usually expect an alternative to be offered if there is a problem with any particular service. My apologies the service was not up to scratch.... More

We had just an overnight stay and the hotel was excellent from the word go. Great to have a free car park; all of the staff were so friendly and helpful; our room was a delight and very quiet being situated at the back of the hotel overlooking the car park and the colleges beyond. Really comfortable with a lovely... More
