A historic hotel with a classic facade, arched windows, and a prominent entrance.

Old Bank Hotel

Oxford City Centre

10/10 Excellent

We were attending a parents event at one of the colleges on Saturday morning, so decided to treat ourselves to a night at The Old Bank Hotel the night before to allow for dinner and a more leisurely start in the morning. The hotel has its own car park and is perfectly situated on the High Street. Our room overlooked the dreaming spires of Oxford was tastefully decorated, equipped to a high specification and extremely comfortable. After dinner, we enjoyed a glass of wine in the peace and quiet...

Old Parsonage Hotel

Oxford City Centre

10/10 Excellent

Anniversary weekend. Very nice hotel with character and good service - just what we were looking for. The room was super, the hotel serve fantastic afternoon tea and we loved the quiet library and the little sun-trap on the library terrace. Would have liked fluffy bathrobes, but can't think of anything else to improve. Be warned: - The bed was hard (which we like/prefer) but large and comfortable. The climb to our room was via small twisty stairs with a very low door. So if you have any physical...

Malmaison Oxford

Oxford City Centre

10/10 Excellent

The Malmaison oxford is so far one of our best stays we have had in the uk! The hotel is a stunning renovation from a prison to a hotel that my now fiance just loved. The interior is stunning and classy with such helpful staff that took our car and parked it when we arrived, making us feel like Royalty. The Junior suite was breath taking with so much space, large bed, large tv, comfy and stylish seating and a large double shower to top it off. although we didn't eat in the hotel we did visit...

Crown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Amazing little hotel in a back street, very clean and comfortable, we arrived early to drop our bags of as we had a tour later but our room was already available so they let us use the room straight away. Hardly any noise from other guests although there was a busy pub opposite the noise was minimal. Staff very polite, 20 minute walk to Oxford City Centre. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Mercure Oxford Hawkwell House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Our stay at the Mercure was overall very positive. We travelled from north devon to visit a family member at the Churchill hospital. We arrived at 1pm on Sunday and didnt expect to check in, but asked in the bar if we could have a quick sandwich before driving to the hospital. we were told that we could only have a roast dinner or chips. When asked, staff were told by chef that this was not possible. This was not a good first impression. Apart from this everything was excellent and all staff...

The Crown & Thistle, Abingdon, Oxfordshire – Acorn Pubs

Abingdon

10/10 Excellent

The hotel was lovely as were the rooms. Only issue for us was we were in bedroom 8 which was opposite the extractor for what we assume was the kitchens and this was noisy at night. However, the hotel was lovely and well situated close to the river and town centre shops. We even took the express bus into Oxford (run every 20 mins from around the corner from hotel) to save on hassle and parking. Really enjoyed our stay and would stay again, but maybe not in bedroom 8 .
