9.2/10

United Kingdom, May 2023

The hotel is perfectly located in the centre of the city, making it easy to explore all the major attractions. It is situated just off Cornmarket Street, so you're right in the heart of the action, but also enjoy a quiet and secluded atmosphere. there are plenty of charming homes, churches, shops, and restaurants within a short walk from the hotel.

The hotel lacks an on-site breakfast option, which can be inconvenient for guests who prefer to have their meals within the hotel premises.

Located in a peaceful area, this hotel offers a great location just one street away from the main shopping street. The rooms are nicely decorated and have clean bathrooms with White company products. The service provided by the staff is exceptional, and the breakfast is good. Guests can enjoy complimentary tea and coffee in their rooms, as well as other nice touches like shower gels and a comfortable bed.

The hotel lacks certain amenities that would make the stay more comfortable, such as a well-stocked mini bar and a variety of complimentary snacks and drinks.

I recently stayed at Vanbrugh House for a weekend getaway. The hotel's location, right across from the Oxford Union, couldn't have been better. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, with a nice touch of a mini-bar. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond to cater to my needs. The bathroom was impressive, with a lovely shower and luxurious bath. The complimentary chocolate-covered strawberries were a delightful surprise. a lovely hotel with great amenities and excellent service.

I can recommend this hotel.

Had a delightful lunch at this hidden gem in Oxford. The 3-course meal for £13.95 was a steal! The menu offered a great variety and the portions were just right. The talented chef definitely knows their way around the kitchen. We enjoyed our meal in the lovely courtyard at the back of the hotel. The staff were attentive and provided excellent service, even amidst some construction noise. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

United Kingdom, September 2022

Lovely hotel in a great location; great breakfast and a comfortable bed. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to make sure I had a pleasant stay. I especially appreciated their assistance in finding vegetarian options for breakfast. The room was quiet and well-decorated, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring Oxford's sights. Although the hotel didn't have its own parking, the receptionist helped me find nearby public parking. It was a bit pricey, but worth it for the convenience. Despite a few minor drawbacks, I would definitely recommend Vanbrugh House for a delightful stay in Oxford. I had a fantastic experience and would happily return in the future.
