Great location, close to everything you want to do in Oxford, but the room was so so. The shower could not hold the same temperature for more then half a minute and the sink was slightly leaking when you washed your hands. Breakfast was ok but not worth the money.

The hotel is very well situated right in the centre of Oxford which is great, however trying to get parked near the hotel was impossible and I ended up having to park in the Redbridge Park and Ride and come back in. The hotel is in need for a refurb, the room has no air conditioning, a fan was provided but it wasn't sufficient to cool the room. The toilet in the bathroom was broken, and the room was definitely in need of a face lift. The breakfast is basic, i ordered granola and yoghurt, what was delivered was a muller corner, they don't even offer toast. Overall the hotel was a disappointment for what it cost.

An outstanding property with outstanding staff who look after me every time I visit. Cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Plus its location in Oxford is excellent. Thank you especially to Fernando for your kindness and exemplary service every visit, but especially this time.

Very nice property. However, they are in a green zone so if you drive your car there, you will have to pay a fee, even just to unload your luggages and go then go to the expensive public parking nearby

Convenient and Quiet
Very convenient to the Bus Station, Glouster Green, and downtown Oxford. Very quiet as well as it is on a side street. Good value for the convenience. No parking but was OK for me as I was on bus transport.

The location is amazing, the service outstanding but they have paper walls…noises coming from all over. We stayed in the suite situated on the main floor of the next building. What was good is that we did not have to bring luggage upstairs (no elevator) but it is situated right in front the main entrance and the slamming starts at 7am: sleeping impossible. Also, pillows need to be upgraded. The room is large for an European hotel, we had a very spacious bathroom with 2 tubs, lots of hot water and an outdoor space just for us. Good bad for the noise, everything else was fantastic!

On the plus side, the location is great. It's easy to access restaurants, shopping, and transportation. Our room was spacious and clean, and the staff was helpful and friendly. However, external renovations are going on, which were not mentioned on the website. There are very few amenities. There is no elevator and no one to assist with luggage up and down the stairs. There is no phone in the room, so you have to make your way to the front desk to resolve any issues. This can be a great stay but it does need some updates.

Vanbrugh Hotel is very central for everything.A bit pricey for what you get but I guess the location makes up for that.It no longer provides a cooked breakfast which is disappointing and the rooms are quite small but very clean.I was awoken both mornings of my stay at 5am with the noisy bin collections from the back yard which was right outside my window but if you are only here for a couple of nights its not a showstopper.
