    accessibility concern

    The Old Bank Hotel features stunning decor and beautiful architecture that evokes the charm of old Oxford. Its accessible layout made navigation easy for seniors, allowing me to explore the historic surroundings comfortably.

    Better signage for lifts would enhance accessibility.

    comfortable bed
    great location
    noisy mornings
    poor dinner value
    cramped room

    The location is truly a gem, perfectly placed near major attractions, making exploration effortless. The room was well-appointed with a comfortable bed and excellent pillows, ensuring a restful stay. Unfortunately, noise from the courtyard was a distraction early in the mornings, and dinner at the on-site restaurant lacked value for the price. Breakfast, however, was exceptional with the highlighted eggs Benedict being a standout.

    kind touches
    quiet library
    cake plate
    ineffective air conditioning
    sleep disruption

    During my stay, I appreciated the kind touches from the staff. When I arrived, I noticed a plate of cakes in my room with a card celebrating a special birthday. It made the experience enjoyable for my family and me. We spent some time reading in the quiet library while our daughter explored the area around the hotel.

    The air conditioning in the room needed improvement. It was not effective, and it disrupted my sleep.

    I loved the cozy vibe at the Old Bank Hotel. The decor is stunning, showcasing beautiful art throughout the place. My room had an amazing view, ideal for relaxing. Quod, the hotel restaurant, impressed me with a fabulous menu, particularly the aged beef fillet. Staff provided kind touches like a plate of cakes for a special birthday, making my time there feel personalized and special. I faced a notable issue with ineffective air conditioning in my room. It didn't function properly and disrupted my sleep.

    Exceptional Art and Cozy Library

    I absolutely loved the unique art that adorned the hotel, adding a lovely character to my stay. The library was a cozy retreat where I could unwind with a drink while enjoying a good book. the breakfast spread was delightful, featuring fresh pastries and organic juices. the air conditioning was not very effective, affecting my comfort level at night.

    unique art
    bustling restaurant
    central attraction
    noisy room

    The hotel’s location right opposite Christ Church provides instant access to one of the city’s major attractions. Quod Restaurant buzzes with energy, and the art displayed throughout adds a unique charm that sets the atmosphere apart from the usual hotel experience.

    Room 2 offers a less-than-ideal sleep experience due to its proximity to the reception and window facing outdoor diners, which creates significant noise. Parking can be a hassle. obtaining the right postcode in advance is crucial as it requires a tricky drive to avoid restricted zones. The breakfast hours feel limiting, which might not suit early risers, and while the steak at Quod missed the mark, the granola and yogurt didn't impress, either. some minor maintenance details could use more attention to enhance the overall comfort.
