We were in Oxford celebrating our daughters 21st. Everyone at the Old Bank were so helpful with lunch on the Sunday and then Brunch on the Monday morning.

Claire

United Kingdom

The Office Manager Toby went above and beyond the call of duty to correct a booking.com mistake with our reservation. The "Quod" Restaurant was lively and delicious, and we ate there twice during our three day stay. The parking was critical for us, as the hotel's location is in the center of Oxford.

“Perfect spot to see sites & attend event in the Sheldonian Theatre. Easy parking behind the hotel.”

Our bed was too small, maybe a queen, but my husband is 6ft 6ins so we had a disturbed night. The bathroom only had a shower.
I love the location. Right in the centre of this amazing city, with its own car park. All the High St to shop & browse in. A three minute walk to the Bodleian Library, the Radcliffe Camera, the Sheldonian Theatre, the ‘Bridge of Sighs’ and many colleges & interesting sites. Loved our delicious dinner in Quod, the in house restaurant. Great staff, especially reception & Virgilio the waiter.

I did not like that the light came on automatically in the bathroom at night. It is not necessary and it wakes you up.
Quiet room with quiet colours. View of trees and Merton College. Great bathroom, spacious, with good lighting, extremely fluffy, warm towels. Comfortable bed.
