Old Bank Hotel - Oxford University and High Street at sunset from balcony

Old Bank Hotel

What an amazing couple day holiday stay at the old bank hotel centrally located on high Street in…read moreOxford. This is my second visit to the hotel, and I splurge this time on a room called the room with a view. An amazing patio of more than 500 ft.² greet to you as you walk into the room outside floor ceiling windows and doors. The room is super tech savvy with almost all functions controlled from a panel on the wall next to the desk. This includes automated lowering and raising of blinds for the floor ceiling windows, as well as closing and opening full length draperies for the same. The bathroom is super spacious with double sink vanities in a large walk-in shower. This would be a wonderful room for anyone to celebrate the holidays in. It's equipped with a super comfy king size bed, and down comforter. There's also two couches in the room, facing the large picture windows and a small round table with two chairs for indoor dining. But the patio is unreal and includes a larger outdoor dining table for four and two large chase lounges. What makes this room so spectacular is the views of Saint Mary's church and the whole of Oxford University. Aspires of Oxford are magical and at night it's absolutely spectacular. Everything about this hotel is five star from the service the moment you check in until you check out. Room service is fast and efficient as is maid service in the mornings. Included with the room is a fully stocked mini bar and wine refrigerator. that's updated daily. You're also given a large platter of super fresh fruit, that is also refreshed daily. There's a hot pot for making tea and a really nice coffee pod machine that makes espresso. The wall opposite the bed sports a large flat panel TV. Location of the old bank hotel is prime real estate in the center of high Street in the middle of shops, pubs and restaurants. Cross the street and you are immediately on the grounds of Oxford University a wonderful place for exploring. Can't say enough about this hotel, the physical aspects, the service, and the location. I will always choose this place when I'm in Oxford.

This is easily the best hotel in Oxford and one of the best hotels I've stayed in Britain. I had a…read moresmaller room, but it was anything but claustrophobic. The design is excellent, a beautiful desk and chairs and tables--modern and tasteful. They keep everything impeccably clean. The art collection is stunning. The bath spacious, even in my room for one. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and charming. Coffee and tea are abundant. The lounging areas--a snook in the rear of the hotel--is a great place to prepare for the day. The food is excellent. The hotel sits on Oxford's High Street, right across from the towering All Souls College. Old Bank is a perfect hotel. I can't wait to stay there again.

My greeting was less than friendly, my flight got in later than expected, so instead of coming in…read moreon Saturday evening I got in Sunday early morning. I was first told I was noted as a no show, then told I couldn't check in until 3pm (after the long flight and no sleep in 24 hours this was unacceptable). Then was told I could check in if I pay for Saturday night as well, being too exhausted I didn't care especially since I had originally booked for Saturday anyways. All 3 of them watched as I struggled with my bag (which had a broken wheel). There is a door you have to pass through for the elevator and it didn't open automatically, (they should either remove it or provide a means with people toting luggage it's nearly impossible to hold a door open and drag things thought) The room was horribly small, barley could fit in my luggage. I got 3 hours sleep, it was loud and since there was no "do not disturbed" sign to place on the door I was continually woken with numerous requests to make up my room (which I just checked into). I. Then received an emergency call from home and had to leave. I called to cancel the rest if my stay and had to pay for not abiding by the 48hr, I asked for some leniency, she said I needed 48hrs, clearly not understanding this was an unexpected emergency. I'm saddened this is part of a Hilton and clearly they prove being any sort of "priority member" means noting. (I called Hilton and they said I had to deal directly with the hotel). Advise I should have listened too; stay closer to Oxford Center so you can also walk around and have plenty of food options. Because I was loyal to Hilton I ended up in this dreadful place.

I blame this establishment for a fantastic night of sleep and my husbands new addiction to English…read moreBreakfast. We spent only one night at Red Mullions, but wish we had spent longer. Great room with accommodations for our 9 year old twins. Lovely garden area. The staff was excellent and accommodating. And of course, a wonderful breakfast. Now I have to learn to cry tomatoes properly and make English baked beans. Highly recommend. And we will be back.

What an absolutely belting b&b. they have aimed to create a home from home and they have achieved…read moreit! Heck it's better than my home!!!! Location - well located about 10 mins out of the city centre, be warned a taxi from the train station costs you a tenner. Buses run right past, you can get and 8 or a 9 that drop you pretty much at the door. It's in a good area, turn right to head into the town and left to head up to a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs. The area is really nice and you feel safe walking along. It's walking distance from the 2 main hospitals. The owner/staff - absolutely delightful, nothing was too much trouble at all. They were so helpful. You can pay in advance online too. They respond quickly to email enquiries and are just lovely to deal,with. The room- I was staying in a double room to the side of the house. It was super quiet and although it wasn't huge (what do you need a huuuuge room for anyway you only sleep,in it) it was just lovely, newly decorated and furnished with a flat screen telly that has access to sky movies!! As well as lots of other channels. The en suite was clean and the shower didn't overflow when I used it. The water flow wasn't amazing but it still did the job. There were little shampoos and shower gels which were a godsend as I'd forgotten mine. You get complimentary water and borders biscuits in your room as we'll as the usual tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc. oh and the hair dryer was a proper one, I didn't have to hold a button to keep it on. The breakfast (the important bit) - I often avoid eggs unless I know they are free range, these were from a local farm and cooked how I wanted. The sausages are from a local butcher and were delicious. The dining room has an almost cafe like vibe to it. Neutrally decorated with the breakfast menu on a big blackboard on the wall and you can choose what you like. You get a decent sized pot of tea or fresh filter coffee as well as some fresh fruit, croissants and cereal etc. I have recommended this b&b to my work and will definitely stay again, I had a brilliant nights sleep on the super comfy bed
