10/10 Excellent
"It was a true pleasure staying at The Store. From the greeting of the professional/ welcoming front desk staff, to the doormen, to the wait staff, this hotel shines. Such an enjoyable, hard working and proud staff who present so happy to be part of the team. The Hotel goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. The room was immaculate and comfortable. Of course, the top floor outdoor patio is a delightful place to have a glass of Chardonnay and feast upon the stunning view. I would definitely recommend this hotel to all future Oxford visitors."

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful stay at this grand old hotel. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Gave me some tooth care kits when I realised I'd forgotten my toothpaste. The room was huge, clean and very comfortable with everything I could possibly need. Only slight issue was the tv functionality wasn't great, a few channels didn't work and casting wasn't working at all, but nothing major. If you are here to see the sights of oxford it's perfectly positioned for walking, public transport, shops, even a cinema. Lots of restaurants very close and the Ashmoleum is directly opposite. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, thank you"

Old Bank Hotel

Old Bank Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I chose this hotel based on its location and other reviews and was not disappointed. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff - we arrived before check-in time but were offered a complimentary coffee before we headed back out again after leaving our cases. When we returned, our cases were already in our room and were shown around our room. An à la carte breakfast is provided in the Quod restaurant which we made use of every day. Home made biscuits, fresh milk, ground coffee, tea and bottled water in our room were replaced every day. The air conditioning was excellent - so simple to operate as well. There is an optional 5% service charge on check out but I had no qualms at all in paying this as the staff are so brilliant at making this hotel so special. We will certainly choose to stay here again should we return to Oxford in future."

"What a great location! It was very hot and even without AC we were comfortable as the fan provided was quiet and effective. The only reason it didn't get all 5 stars are the steps needed to climb to get into the hotel. That said it is Oxford and we hope to stay there again."
