The so called "luxury sandwiches "on room service were very expensive and i failed to understand the luxury in crab and mayo sandwich of which there was more mayo than crab,perhaps it was the handful of rocket or crisps that adorned the plate. |

We had a very pleasant stay at the Old Bank Hotel. My negative points would be, I felt the rooms were rather small, and there were no shower caps in the bathroom. We live very close to Oxford and the reason for staying over in a hotel was to attend my son's school leavers ball, this is my reason for not staying at the Old Bank again. |

Pleasant little boutique hotel in the centre of Oxford, and very convenient with its own parking area - and unlike most other hotels in the area, parking was included in the room rate. Cosy and comfortable with tasteful decor. The only downside was we were given a room directly above the restaurant and the room had a distinct smell of fried breakfast. Still, a very pleasant stay and would highly recommend. |
