“Refurbished rooms . Very spacious”

John

New Zealand

“The Old Bank is a wonderful hotel with great views and a central location. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the attention to detail excellent. The car park is a huge bonus. The restaurant the Quod is always busy with a fun atmosphere and serves good food.”

Claire

United Kingdom

“There is no better location for visiting Oxford University. The staff was exceedingly helpful, and the evident charm was perfect for the location. The prices are high (at least to an American), but you get what you pay for.”
