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.

The cafe menu wasn't particularly extensive, and is probably better suited to cold days (there were pies, sausages, pasta and lots of stodgy comfort-food type meals) but it all tasted lovely. They have plenty of comfy seating, covered in cushions so you can relax outside in the sun. We all ended up a little pink, but happy. I imagine this would be a lovely venue for a wedding (we saw some confetti on the grass, so they must do weddings!!) ...as the gardens would be perfect for photos.

Having had several wedding guests stay here for the weekend, we decided to visit the place for an…read moreafter wedding meal with some straggling guests. Situated on the A417 between Harwell and Upton, this is primarily a hotel and restaurant, and it has that "feel" to it. The decor is a bit old fashioned and hotel like, and to be honest it's a bit dull in my opinion. The staff were very welcoming however, and were attentive. Theres a varied selection of drinks, ales, wines etc, but nothing that really stands out. There was a fairly decent selection of meals on offer. At the time of viviting, there was a 2 courses for £9 deal on, but to be honest there were only 2 meals to choose from, which was poor. The main menu had a variety of different things to choose from, steak, fish and chips etc etc, and were fairly well priced. (Steak was £12) Overall, this venue scored fairly low due to the decor, and general dining experience. I would come back, but not in any hurry, there are far better places to eat in the same price bracket
