Very central and easy to find. Exceptionally quiet and dark room which meant a great nights sleep. No parking but that applies to most of Oxford. Would stay again

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.

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

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.

the only 3 star is for the lack of A/C. It's Europe so we knew there was no guarantee of A/C so we rolled with it. I believe they are working on installing A/C. We had a small fan in the room which helped the first night. It was quiet pleasant with the patio doors open the 2nd night! Loved the patio. Great space. Very charming property in a fantastic location. Staff was wonderful.
