Excellent city centre hotel

Made us feel really welcome and had a lovely stay for our anniversary. Very central location.
Emma, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely comfortable stay

Lovely comfortable stay. Comfortable beds, very good shower and roomy bathroom with good light. We stayed on an exceptionally hot evening so we made use of the fan. Friendly and polite and helpful staff.
Sally, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really helpful and lovely staff. Told at check-in that we had breakfast included but told the opposite at breakfast. Other than that, a lovely stay.
Faye, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a great place to stay for our trip to Oxford. It was a very handy location for walking to all the attractions.
Skyler, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An historic property in the centre of Oxford. All the major sites are in walking distance. We had a great stay
Ian, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dreadful overpriced and run down hotel. The staff were most unhelpful, the furniture was cheap and tired, the bathroom so small that a very slim person like me felt cramped. Hairdryer with very short cable, no sockets in the right places, TV not working, the constant banging of the front door.

Andrea, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Pleasant staff in a superficially stylish but rather tired hotel: scuffed painted furniture, black-mould on blobby mastic in the shower, poor water pressure, shower control not fully functioning... Nice things like Nespresso machines, with biscuits and real milk, let down by mugs too big to fit under the machine's spout. Doubt I'll ever stay there again.
Stuart, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Comfortable but limited

This is a small hotel in a central location. My standard room was small but comfortable, although a little cold overnight. It was perfectly fine, but the price was a little much for this kind of place, which had no real facilities. The breakfast was expensive and very limited. There was a lot of noise and clutter in the corridors from early on when the cleaning began (from about 7)
Christopher, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Vanbrugh House Hotel was a nice hotel in a wonderful location in Oxford. It is surrounded by the university colleges and many restaurants and shops.

Overall another good stay

Another good stay at the Vanbrugh hotel for work. The location is great and very central if that's what you're looking for. Room is clean and good toiletries etc. Unfortunately the bed in room 3 was very uncomfortable and I could feel the frame underneath the mattress. Otherwise I could not fault my stay and I'm sure I'll book again soon for another work trip.
Amy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location. Excellent staff. Historic building but comfortable
Donald, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, comfortable and clean room. Friendly staff. Would definitely stay again.
Pamela, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Location was great but hotel was just adequate. There was major construction next door that started at 6:30 am and went all through the day. There is no public space to receive guests. The bathroom is barely functional with no shelves or hooks to hold toiletries. The shower was hardly a drip and hot water was scarce.
Evan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really nice stay
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

There is construction taking place Nextdoor. Our room faces the Union on the first floor which was a very nice view but the windows were incredibly thin and we could hear everything as if we were standing outside. Woke up one morning to a VERY loud garbage truck and sound of glass shattering due to the construction. The room was nice and the staff was very kind and friendly. I did not have a fridge in the room but the staff was more than helpful with storing milk (for my child) in the fridge and bringing it up to me when needed!
