Everything about the trip was excellent.

Slow check-in and the shower water was cold and low pressure.

Dropping off bags SO helpful, and all the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Excellent continental breakfast included. So walkable in this beautiful university town full of history.
Christian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good hotel right in the centre of Oxford with easy walk to the theatre. Rooms were ok and breakfast was a bit basic but it's the location that makes this hotel.
Timothy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is convenient and clean. Staff is nice too.
Yue, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff were friendly. Location brilliant. However bedroom was dated and simple - did not look like the nice room photos used in their marketing. Bed very hard. The bathroom smelled of damp and had black mould in the grout and silicone, and radiator was rusty and dusty. Felt like a very overpriced stay.

8/10 Very good

The Vanbrugh House Hotel was a nice hotel in a wonderful location in Oxford. It is surrounded by the university colleges and many restaurants and shops.
L Lee, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Opted to pay at the hotel. Not only did they take a full payment 4 days early they then took it again on the day of arrival. Lots of attmepted explanations but still took it twice when they weren't supposed to. They need a plumber in the bathroom as well. Shower controls were very stiff, shower didnt drain away and a tap didn't twist the right way. Shower

Love this hotel. Always stay here when I’m in Oxford!
Leela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was incredibly last minute but the person on reception (I think of South Asian descent) was very professionaly and friendly and got be booked in quickly and he was helpful when I had issues with my key. I've stayed here before - great location, nice building and rooms, great staff. My only criticism would be that the WiFi was down for about 30 mins and the bathroom did not smell nice.
Ben, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed staying one night at the Vanbrugh, helpful& friendly staff, great location and room was perfect. Enjoyed the breakfast hamper in our room - super cosy!
Ina, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

3 tired, noisy star hotel

A 3 star hotel in a central location. Rooms are well appointed but very dark and have seen better days. Extremely noisy at night as the windows are single glazed; you can literally hear the footsteps of someone walking by. Often late night revelers and early morning (8am) construction right outside windows so a very poor night’s sleep. Not your best option in Oxford unless you get an incredible deal.
Stina, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely one of the best stays we have had in Oxford. We’ve traveled here several times and this property is very well situated but the best part is the amazing staff! Absolutely go out of their way to make you happy and comfortable any time of the day or night. Already booked another stay!
Michelle, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic!
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

excellent service with complimentary breakfast and room was spacious, Impressive that all the fixtures, including shower, worked well (despite age of building)
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here several times. Very central but quiet. Nice rooms etc. The staff on reception are always very pleasant. Only reason I marked it down was that housekeeping started knocking on doors at 9am. That is far too early given that check out is 11.

Great location, close to everything. The staff were very friendly. Room and building are old, but that's expected. Overall a great stay.
