Top Oxford Hotel Reviews

Vanbrugh House Hotel

Vanbrugh House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Pulling our suitcase to the hotel from the train station was not a problem. We arrived early and were able to store our bags until checkin. If you have mobility issues the stairs are quite steep. The room was lovely with big windows that open for fresh air. Does not have AC but certainly not needed when we were there. Our room had a very nice sitting area. Breakfast excellent. Bus station also very convenient. Enjoyed our stay very much."
