8.8 Excellent
Pros: The hotel is superbly located, the room comfortable though small, perfectly clean and well furnished, air conditioning, t.v., shower and other room services perfect, and the breakfast menu very nice.
Cons: The rates charged in mid- to late-July are truly exorbitant for what you get. They should at least comp you to breakfast, at the rates they charge. The room was under the eaves, so that a beam diagonally positioned from floor to ceiling was dangerously close to head-hitting distance for anyone getting out of that side of the bed at night. The same is true of the toilet: the eave slopes down right over the toilet, so that if you stood in front of it your forehead was up against the sloped ceiling. Bumped myself 4 times.

Pros: I liked the location of the hotel, it is easy to walk to the main shopping area. The building is amazing like most of the buildings in Oxford. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our second room was quiet, quite spacious, bathroom was very clean (we had to exchange the first allocated room after our arrival, as it was quite noisy, windows were looking at the court dining area of the restaurant).
Cons: Sorry, but I didn't like the restaurant, especially the breakfast. I ordered two fried eggs on toast and asked additionally to add tomatoes and avocado. Instead of making a nice platter and making it enjoyable and tasty looking (this is a posh restaurant at the end of the day), the lady brought a toast and fried eggs on top of the toast in one plate and then in the separate plate with just tomatoes and avocado, which looked very weird. I guess it would be ok if I have this in 3 stars hotel or a pub, but I expected a bit higher standards in 5 star hotel. Another thing was water. I expect water to be brought as soon as you sit at the table even before you start looking at the menu, especially on a hot day. Instead, as soon as you are seated at the table, the waitress leaves you for 10-15 min to look at the menu and brings water only with your order if you ask for it.

Cons: It is a little hard to set the room temperature if you are used to seeing degrees in F, not C, but the staff is willing to help. The coffee machine in the room is very high quality but not easy to use if you are not used to it. Again, the staff is more than willing to help.

Since the money was in an envelope in the large suitcase tucked in for safety, I kept on requesting her to let me go to the room open my suitcase and come down to pay but she refused. I had to open my suitcase in the lobby and fish for the money and paid her. Then she refused to give the receipt. I told her then that if you do not trust me so much as to go to my room and come down to pay how do you expect me to trust you to give me a receipt at the end of my 4 night stay, with no evidence of the payment made but my word. She eventually did give me provisional receipt. This was very humiliating and I could not shake off the feeling of being in a place where people could be rude and unhelpful. I will really think twice to come here when I come back on a business trip this September again, although I really like the place.

Pros: Staff were lovely; rooms were excellently equipped and comfortable - will be even better when air con installed. Yes you had to pay for parking, but the city centre is within an easy and pleasant walk and the parking was until 6pm the day of check out which was perfect for us.
Cons: Breakfast was good although quite pricey, especially as we didn't have time to benefit as much as we could have. Rooms were rather warm but a fan was provided and air con is being installed - so that is being addressed

Pros: Location was very good with access to Thames path behind hotel and a nice walk into town. Staff are all very friendly too.
Cons: We were woken at 08:50 on Saturday morning by drilling and banging in the rooms next to us that were being refurbished. We complained and asked to speak to manager on check out. She was busy dealing with other complaints for the same issue so we had to wait 30 mins to see her. She took my details and said they would be in touch regarding a discount and/or upgrade on my next stay. This was Saturday morning, I am still waiting......

Pros:
Cons: I left my earrings in the room. When I called the next day asking for it, the hotel said they did not find anything when doing the room clearance. This is quite a bad experiment as I had the same matter in previous trip in Paris and that great hotel sent it back to me by courier! Watch out your personal staffs when stay in this hotel. It makes me feel like it is not how Great Britain should be~ Pity~

5.4 Okay
Pros: excellent location in central Oxford, minutes away from historic colleges, the central market, and the bus station.
Cons: Rooms were small, extremely overheated and poorly ventilated. Old carpeting triggered allergies. Breakfast not included in the room price and very expensive ($30 for a continental buffet).
6.8 Good
Pros: Location is very close to the heart of Oxford. It has the old 'grandeur' of a hotel that was probably top of its class in the past.
Cons: The hotel is run down. First room Air Conditioning did not work. They switched us to another room, but that was in the back, with loud noise from the back alley which has a Caribbean pub. If you like Caribbean music until midnight, you will love this hotel. Overall, it's an old stuffy hotel, with up-and-down wifi, limited selection for breakfast, and terribly slow elevators.

Pros: Location
Cons: Tony room, AC not working, over priced.
2.0 Mediocre
Pros: It is in an excellent location for visiting my daughter who is studying at Worcestor college.
Cons: We were in a room with heavy scaffolding blocking the entire two windows. Men were talking, yelling & working/pounding in front of the two windows every morning. They totally ignored us who needed sleeping in the room. There were no privacy nor courtesy. We were not informed or asked if it's Ok for the reception to assign such a downgraded room (the windows were blocked by scaffolding entirely)to us at check in either. The service and facilities were at most a one star hotel this time. I stayed in this hotel for about 5 times in the last two years because we were visiting our daughter who was studying at Worcestor college(one block away). They've been always about a three stars hotel standard. But this time was the worst. We will not use this hotel any more. It's totally not worth the price & the poor facility.

Cons: The hanging system where there weren’t proper hangers ( very irritating as if travellers are going to steal large wooden hangers to add to their luggage !) Noise was easily transmitted from corridor and room above There was no top sheet which has become fashionable but is not ideal
8.8 Excellent
Pros: Reception and Concierge staff were all very friendly and efficient. Room was very nice and a great temperature after a warm, sticky afternoon outside. Nice touch with the turn down service.
Cons: Not the end of the world but.... the restaurant staff were very slow in their service. Requests at breakfast were forgotten and never arrived (I did tell the manager overseeing as I left). At times there was not one member of the service team on the floor over lunch so no one to respond to any queries or needs. This needs improvement for a five star hotel.
6.6 Good
Pros: Clean bedsheets and towels
Cons: Very small rooms for the price; You can't reach the reception directly; you basically have to go through hoops and being on hold before someone picks up; the staff are not quick in responding to issues or concerns. Wifi was really quite poor--it bounced off every five minutes.

Pros: A very good breakfast infact. There was plenty to choose from, and all tastes were catered for.
Cons: I think breakfast was by far the better meal to have in the hotel and this was indicated by the number of people at breakfast compared to dinner. Dinner was not so good, mainly due to lack of communication, all staff were foreigners and the language barrier at times was a little difficult. We has a few menu hiccups! However the food was very nice, but limited. Breakfast was a more help yourself buffet style and the staff were very efficient getting people seated and clearing the tables etc.

Pros: Very central location, staff generally very helpful and friendly.
Cons: Room was small, dark dreary and extremely hot, no air conditioning only a fan. The excuse for no air con was because the building was historic; this is nonsense, we have stayed in older buildings with air con. Toiletries were not renewed in the bathroom . There was a lack of attention to small details. It was extremely bad value for money.

Pros: The hotel was central to everywhere that we needed to go and it looked a nice place and a quiet-ish side road. Loved the location
Cons: Our room was small and ours was quite dirty; cobwebs hanging from the beam and when we pulled out the cabinet to charge our phone it was dusty and dirty. Our experience with the staff was very hit and miss. Our first impression when we arrived was awful and it puts me off staying here again despite the brilliant location.

Pros: The location is perfect and the restaurant next door (where the hotel has its breakfast) is very good. It’s a great home base while in Oxford.
Cons: The room was not as advertised. While I am sure that some of the rooms have been renovated as in the picture, ours (Barley Twist) was not — it was small and clean but not what I thought we were getting based on their website. Photos taken as we were leaving.
5.0 Okay
Pros: The central Oxford location was good.

Rooms include desks, TVs, free WiFi, coffeemakers, bathrobes, and are all individually decorated. The Vanbrugh House Hotel has room service available around the clock. There is a breakfast served every morning for a fee also. The city of Oxford is full of restaurants with just about any kind of cuisine that is desired. Visitors can find great food at The Oxford Kitchen, Spiced Roots Restaurant, Oli’s Thai, Arbequina, and many other places. This hotel is located right behind Main Street in Oxford so there is plenty to experience nearby. Guests can stroll along one of the rivers, visit one of many museums in the area, go shopping in numerous boutiques and shopping centers, or see a show at The New Theatre Oxford. The Vanbrugh House Hotel in Oxford has an incredible history that dates back to the 18th century.

I stayed in 6 bed male dorm for one night. The room was quite big and airy with lot of space for storing luggage, cloth hangers, one separate bathroom and toilet inside the room. Beds were comfy and well equipped with tiny lamp, Charing USB port and sockets. Drinking water tap, bar, lots of sitting space inside and outside lobby area, dinning hall, and other many facilities. Also best suited for family holiday makers and solo back packer.

Pros: The room was spacious, had good facilites and was clean; there was also a good wifi signal. It was very close to the train station.
Cons: The hotel is right next door to a bar which played loud music from 11.00pm until 3.00am during a week night so I had a bad nights sleep. The windows don't seem to block out alot of the sound coming from the street, especially at night and the room was directly opposite a bright street light which the curtains didn't block out so it was bright for most of the night.

Cons: Directly beside the hotel is a club. Which means some loud people. I would not say that I did not like it. It is totally clear that there is noise when you stay in the city center but it was not so easy to sleep. But this just in case you leave your window open, which was needed trough the warm weather. If it is closed, the noise stays out. So just a point to keep mind.

Pros: There is effectively unlimited amount muesli with milk available during the breakfast. They are cheapest available non-free accomodation in Oxford.
Cons: It's a quite dirty and stinky place (despite the fact that the stuff does legit work cleaning it everyday). Beds are not the worst I've ever slept on, but generally quite bad. You will feel all movements of the person who sleeps under or above you. Also, they do not inform explicitly that if one pays in advance for several nights, then there is no option to resign from the part of the booking - once you've paid, you won't get any part of your money, even if you'll find your conditions terrible. One night I've returned to the bed I've been staying at, just to find that the stuff has located someone else into it, despite the fact that I've paid for that night for that bed on the earlier day. Such things just should not happen. Also, half of the rooms have windows directed towards loud street nearby, so if you are sensitive to sounds, it may be tough for you.

It was totally fine if youll be out and about a lot, if youve stayed in hostels before its as you would expect.
Cons: If they could just laminate a sheet with some General hostel information and put it in the rooms it would be really helpful. For example there is one lot of showers for women and one for men. They get cleaned during the day between 11 and 1. Fair enough it has to be cleaned but its annoying waiting around for the shower. If you had the information you could just plan your day a bit better. The member of staff on reception at the time could not have been more annoyed with me asking when the shower would be available. She really seemed to not want be asked any questions or be interacted with. Apart from that the other staff were great. At one point another member of staff walked into our room looking for a different guest and said we really need to keep the door locked. There was two of us and one was in the toilet so we kept the door on the latch as the rooms have keypads not keys. Thats fair enough if thats what they want too but would be good information to put up in the room just so both the guests and the staff know.

Pros: It was nice and cheap and close to both the train station and the centre of town. Breakfast was included in the price (fairly average, though).
Cons: The rooms smelled quite bad (though, to be fair, it was very hot that day and most of that area of town smelled similar). It didn't feel particularly safe either, compared to other hostels I've stayed in.

Pros: Nice bathroom
Cons: Stayed here 18 months ago with no issues except the state of the property (over charged for something so tatty-carpets ruined, guest house smelt terrible BUT was still the cheapest in Oxford). So booked again 1 month in advance as son had operation at JR, the lady barely spoke english & they had given my room away. Forced to stay in an alternative property they rent (which was far more luxurious) but no hot water in bathroom 2 miles away. Disgraceful to arrive and find out they double booked my room and forced to go to alternative accommodation 2 miles away which had no hot water . ONLY good thing is that I got discount after making a fuss.
2.5 Mediocre
Pros: NOTHING
Cons: Do not stay here, it is horrible! 4 beds stuffed in a small room, called it a family room?. Kitchen was impossible and dirty, no decent dishes, cooking equipment and what so effer. Chairs in de kitchen are impossible to sit on, everything is old and not maintained, shower is leaking. Don’t think like there’s nowhere space, so I will book this, choose something else!

Pros: Two Rooms booked were next to each other.
Cons: Noisy, ill fitting furniture, undecorated, tv's that didn't work, unusual smell, surprised that they would be on your booking list.

4.5 Okay
Pros: Location was ok. Room size was good. Price is decent for Oxford but still too expensive. Fairly convenient for a short trip.
Cons: No one was there when I first arrived meaning I had to wait outside for 20 mins. Room was not ready despite having specified a check in time. No clean towels. Bathroom not very clean. Room was far too hot and curtains were broken and too thin so was always woken up early by the light outside.
5.5 Okay
Pros: The bed was quite comfortable and plenty of tea / coffee and biscuits …….
Cons: The shower head kept falling off / The shower was not warm enough and the temperature dial needed to be adjusted, otherwise the water was either too hot or too cold !! . The room was not clean enough and pretty shabby ( it looked like in need of some decoration) ..On the whole you really get what you pay for ..Basic no-frills accommodation at a cheap price … The location was good for the shops and local pubs with good transport links though …...
