Comfy quiet stay
Really nice place to stay. It's a bit worn out so a few touch ups here and there would really be of benefit, for example loose toilet roll holders, radiators etc... Our room did no have a minifridge, even though one of the staff said it would, and there was no remote for the dyson airheater, so we did end up asking the reception staff more questions than needed

Vanbrugh House is a very interesting period property to stay in but I couldn’t really call it a hotel, more luxury serviced rooms and suites. We were upgraded from superior double to a suite so I shouldn’t complain, but for a 4 star hotel many of the little touches weren’t there - eg no glasses for water in the room, missing remote control for the fan heater, only enough Nespresso pots for 2 drinks each.

The hotel is really conveniently located in Oxford within easy walking distance to the shop. The hotel room size was very generous and comfortable, we stayed in the superior double room, which was located at the front of the hotel. The hotel is located on a street which includes various student bars. unfortunately, the night we stayed, our sleep was so badly interrupted by the noise coming from the students, which didn’t die down until 3am, which spoilt our stay. I appreciate this is outside the control of the hotel, but I wouldn’t stay here again due to this.

We love the Vanbrugh House Hotel
We arrived at the Vanbrugh House Hotel for our anniversary expecting our standard double room booking and what we paid for. They surprised us with an upgrade at no extra cost to the Vicarage Suite which was absolutely phenomenal. We had two baths and a shower, multiple sofas with a huge kingsize bed along with chocolates and a bottle of prosecco in ice. We can't recommend this hotel enough. The suite even included its own private garden!

Lovely hotel in very central location. Was a bit worried about noise but it was fine in the end during the night. Moved rooms to have a separate bathroom and lovely host gave us a bottle of wine and some earplugs in case of noise. Highly recommend the No.1 Ship Street restaurant nearby!

Finding a quiet room in the centre of Oxford was a real find. The room was spacious, well equipped with heaters, heated towel racks, ironing board etc. and the staff was super even moving our luggage up to our room for us. It would have been a challenge to navigate the stairs with mobility issues. Absolutely top notch stay.

A gem in the heart of Oxford
I had a great time at this hotel, if you would like to be in the heart of Oxford this is your hotel. If you also don’t mind to have amenities and just to have a comfortable bed and treat this city as your endless amenities of exploration then this is a great choice.
