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.

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.

The service was excellent, and the ambiance--both stylish and inviting--felt like a hidden gem. We had the gnocchi, Sunday roast, drinks, and panna cotta--everything was delicious.

The boutique hotel setting adds to the charm, with a spacious front and back patio tucked away from the crowds.

We can't recall what Gayle ordered, while my choice was some sort of tandoori chicken dish. My pint of local beer and her class of chardonnay were also at the table. Everything tasted good, even more so with a relaxing atmosphere and interesting table neighbors. Service was pleasant, but oddly fast on the food coming out, while slow for the drinks. Rest rooms were available inside the hotel for customers, which is kind of a big thing when you're within a very crowded downtown.

However, overall hotel room comfort did not meet expectations. When we checked in, our room was very hot due to the sun coming in the windows. The AC didn't work properly and the front desk was very slow in finding someone to solve the problem. Because we faced the street, it was too noisy to have the windows open at night to get fresh air. Perhaps I would have felt differently if given a room in the back with a view of the gardens. This was our least favorite hotel out of the six we stayed in during a 7-day walking tour.

Oh dear it just makes 3 star and only because of the evening meal experiences…read more We arrived for four nights, pre booked and pre paid as two by two, as the way we did it got us two evening meals in four nights. The evening meals were excellent and all the serving staff were very welcoming and couldn't do enough to help. It struck us that if this place is managed (a big if) then it's invisible and ineffective management and that cascades detrimentally everywhere and it shows. So to the evening 4/5 star food. Darn great quality salmon starters and Ras el hanout chicken salad starters. A bottle of wine averaged £25 and pints of beer/cider £5. First evening meal I had the Ras then sirloin steak served with chips, a delightful dressed salad and what else but Colman's the worlds greatest English mustard. My wife opted for the smoked salmon and a half chicken main. Night two - menu didn't change - they had no chicken left and the curry main wasn't available (7pm Saturday night) so it was two excellent salmon starters and two great flavour steaks. Their pepper sauce (£2.5 extra) was very good. The dessert of rhubarb and apple crumble with great ice cream was divine and 5 star - Great British menu stuff. Breakfast was pretty grim 1/2star but at least the sausages and bacon were great quality. We asked on our first morning for scrambled egg to learn there was just one chef who may or may not bother depending on how busy he was. Now that's a first in over 50 years staying in hotels. Sorry mate but customers make paydays. He did make scrambled eggs albeit badly. In fact his scrambled eggs on the plate looked like they'd already been eaten once before and were poor tasting. Staff couldn't cope at breakfast most days and things that should never run out were unavailable including eggs - I mean eggs - we were on a cruise ship for over fortnight and they didn't run out out of anything. They also ran out of pancakes and note they ran out of chicken and curry early Saturday evening. Guests had to wait for cups for the awful coffee. It got so bad that paper cups appeared. The Nescafé machine coffees were zero star rancid. I'd suggest that Nestle should be evicted as the coffees were foul. The hotel has no espresso machine either in 21st century Britain. Seriously? There was no cold meat selection at breakfast and the croissants very poor zero star quality indeed but even they ran out so guests had to be desperate to eat that rubbish. It's all ineffective senior management. The morning grilled tomatoes were never grilled; now they may have been put into a grill that wasn't switched on but that doesn't count. Grilling would have helped the flavour chef I mean nature has provided delicious raw material so it's the least you can do? No? It's why you grill tomatoes. The baked beans had congealed in their water bath and the mushrooms boiled to much but at least the toaster worked very well indeed. I toasted an English muffin but had no egg to put on it nor any hollandaise sauce so I reverted to the cheap marmalade. The worst of it was that in 4 days our room was only made up badly once on day 3 despite our leaving a make up our room note on the door. At one point I went to reception to ask to be told it happened automatically and I do think the receptionist genuinely believed it. The bin wasn't completely emptied. Used glasses remained in the room, the bed was left unmade over our entire stay but the quilt had been given a shake. Y theft knew what left we were glad we didn't have to sleep in the same sheets and I cleaned floor for a 5th night. Those supposedly servicing the room all seemed young, likely poorly paid, certainly untrained and ineptly managed, if managed at all. Despite all this we were happy as the deal was good. We would return but we'd look for similar priced alternatives on the basis they'd hardly be as bad. Only those who own this place can make the genuine changes needed. It may need some more money to help it but the real overarching problem is lousy senior management - it is ever thus.

The food (both dinner and breakfast) was definitely good, not Michelin star by any means (they are preparing meals for hundreds at the same times after all! - but good and plentiful with many choices and options. Breakfast from full English to Continental and more. Dinner involves 3 courses, good and friendly service with many choices including a different roast every day, a different themed cuisine every day (E.g. Asian etc) and specials (look just above the desserts on the daily menu). The rooms are clean and roomy enough, service is good, but it must be about time to bring in new mattresses please!). The building itself, inside and out, and the history is MAGNIFICENT. And then the entertainment every night - a LOT of fun and John-Philip was amazing. We have never (by choice) been on a cruise but this must be a somewhat similar experience for a quick getaway with things to do all day long (and evening til after midnight) The food, both dinners and breakfast was both plentiful, varied and pretty good.

Hotel rooms, in the main, are typically Warners - a step up from a Travel Lodge but not much more. A couple of historic rooms are available (including a haunted one!) with a little more character. Breaks here are half-board and you'll find yourself sitting on an allocated table in a huge restaurant. Service here can be buffet or a la carte at your pleasure. Food is OK, a notch above school catering but a long way from fine dining. Leisure facilities are good. The majority of guests will be retired, and a long-time retired at that. Evening entertainment is provided and ranges from acceptable to quite good. It's easy listening in the main. Themed breaks happen throughout the year ranging from entertainment breaks through to sporting or arty breaks. A small additional charge will apply. This place used to be good to use as a base for travelling. Unfortunately, increases in prices have made other options more attractive. Warners are trying to lower their target market but this is not really yet evidenced. No children
