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.

Travelling independently without a car requires a train, a bus and a stroll, but as the stadium is right next to one of those entertainment complexes (not sure of the correct term) you often get outside cities these days, it doesn't feel as isolated as some outside the city football grounds. You can go for a drink, a meal or even enjoy some ten pin bowling before or after the match. Inside the ground the half time options are pretty much standard, although I did enjoy my first cup of Bovril in over a decade!

The hotel was extraordinarily accommodating, ensuring that we had everything we needed. Nearby rooms to be closer to nana and grandpa? Done. Baby cot? Right away. Freezer for breast milk? They were on it. The non-baby-related facets of the experience were excellent as well. The location is right in the center of Oxford and convenient to everything. The hotel restaurant had very good food. Even the artwork was funky and enjoyable. I will absolutely stay here again the next time I'm back in Oxford.

I guess it's on me since it didn't strike my mind that that would be possible. When I asked I was told that "our caliber room doesn't have air conditioning" which is insane since we literally booked the nicest non suite via the hotel site. Avoid if you like air.
