This is a really nice old hotel on the high street in Oxford so you cannot get much closer to the centre. The rooms are comfortable with some nice art and decor. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. Breakfast in the restaurant was a bit "public" for me but the service was fine and the food OK.

We stayed for a night at the Old Bank. It has an excellent location with a very useful car park round the back - when you book a room the hotel provides helpful directions. The terrace out the back is pleasant and quiet with a well chosen brasserie-type menu. Rooms are well appointed. Staff are very helpful. It is not... More

We highly recommend the Old Bank Hotel for its location, accommodation and service. The front desk personnel were very helpful. Do not recall other names but Lucy, in particular, was especially helpful - getting us into and out of the parking lot and helping us get settled and oriented. We also recommend the complementary tour at 2:00. Our guide, Isabella,... More

Top address in Oxford. Own parking lot, signs lead you there when you approach the center by car. From here you can explore Oxford on your feet. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Restaurant and Bar has good food and drinks. Sometimes live music in the bar.

Stayed one night before the May Bank Holiday weekend to visit the Ashmolean. Our superior room was well appointed with a comfortable large bed, coffee/tea facilities, and wifi.Their on-site parking is a bonus in Oxford and the hotel staff were organised and effective. We dined in the evening next door at the separately managed Quod which was disappointing with average... More

We stayed at the Old Bank Hotel for two nights during a holiday in the area. When we first made our reservations, the hotel was sold out. After a few subsequent calls, the hotel informed us the handicapped room was available if we didn’t mind. Upon arrival, the staff was just wonderful. Unfortunately for us, late at night, a wedding...

A pleasant surprise in the town centre. The accomadtion was comfortable and clean. My room, number 14, was large and pleasant. It overlooked the main street, but inspite of tha it was reasonably quiet. WiFi in the room was free. There is a large modern dinning-room bar area, which has excellent and well prepared food (breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner).... More

Not cheap, but stylish (with plenty of original artwork) comfortable, and excellently located in the heart of historic Oxford. Staff are attentive and friendly & the restaurant is good too. The only minuses are that there's no gym/pool & the car park's a bit hard to find !

Lovely hotel and wouldn't hesitate to visit again Most importantly a problem we had was dealt with by the manager who was clearly concerned there had been an issue with the quality of some of our food. He dealt with matters in an exemplary way and I would not hesitate to recommend the hotel or to visit again Room rate... More
