Beds were extremely comfortable and bedding was appropriate for the climate. Staff were excellent and we were able to leave the car in the park for the day. Breakfast was more than adequate and location is very central.

Fabulous location. Exemplary staff. I was accommodated promptly for an early sign-in. Stayed in Room 40, which has a lovely view over High Street. Easy access to bus to Heathrow.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful . The hotel itself is very tasteful and contemporary without taking away from some of its original features. There are some great original artwork around the hotel. It's hard to find , but if pushed I'd say the mirror in the bedroom , it looked out of place in terms of design.

Just about everything! The ambience was superb, we loved the bustle of the restaurant and the friendliness of the staff. We hope to spend time again in Oxford as there is so much to see and we would be happy to stay ayt the Old Bank. Traffic tnoise and the occasional reveller in the small hours. We might ask for a rear-facing room next time

The general ambiance is extremely appropriate for Oxford--elegant, yet comfortable; modern touches, traditional values. Didn't find a good gym at the hotel.

The warm friendly atmosphere.....the whole place has a buzz about it. The staff seem pleased to work there. The fact that the taxis you ordered for us charged various prices for the same journey over the same length of time.The price varies between £4 and £11..you need tochange the firm you use.
