Had an excellent two night stay at the Old Bank Hotel with my mum. Fantastic location for exploring Oxford with parking and everything in walking distance. Classic room was great with excellent air con and a fabulous bathroom. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return and recommend.

We have stayed at many luxurious hotels globally but this was one of our favorite stays ever. This is almost entirely due to the wonderful service, highlighted by one of the best front desk managers that we have ever met in Alex. She saved the day for us in numerous ways and almost read our minds in advance of what we needed. Maria at the front desk was also just wonderful. The hotel itself is perfectly located in Oxford and the room was spectacular (if you get a chance at The Room With The View, TAKE IT!). I wish that we could give extra stars

The Old Bank is special. We first visited ten years ago and every time we have stayed has been a treat. The quality of service and rooms are exceptional; combined with an incredible location - the perfect place to relax and explore Oxford.

The Old Bank Hotel is a great find. Due to my mum’s mobility needs we were grateful to be able to drive to a hotel in the centre of the city with a car park. We had a lovely ‘mobility friendly’ room on the ground floor, with the staff being very attentive to mum’s needs. We ate in the restaurant twice, once al fresco in the courtyard on a Spring day. It was delightful. We are planning our next visit!

An absolutely fabulous hotel! From the free car parking in central Oxford; to the warm welcome at reception; to the lovely room; to the friendliness of every staff member; to the great bar; and super lunch - everything was fabulous! Highly recommend, and we will certainly be back. No reason to stay anywhere else in Oxford - this is superb.
