Fantastic location in an historic inn
The Vanbrugh House is wonderfully located in the center of historic Oxford. Short walking distance to all the colleges, restaurants, bus station. A little longer but easy walk to train station. Cool historic building. Our family rented 3 rooms: 2 smaller ones and a larger "superior double". All were fine. The superior room was especially large, even by US standards (although the bathroom and shower were tiny). My only negative was that all the beds were pretty uncomfortable. Really hard mattresses. Otherwise this was a five-star experience and (even with that) we would be inclined to stay again.

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

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!

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.

Would Stay Again!
Such a lovely hotel with the most attentive staff at the front desk. My daughter and I felt very safe and comfortable. The hotel was located on a quiet street just around the corner from the heart of everything in Oxford. Really just the best location.

6/10 Good

Fine stay for a couple of nights while in town for work. The room was very noisy at night due to its location as well as in the morning when breakfast is brought around to other guests. Bathroom was not fully cleaned when we first checked in (hair on the floor, grime in the shower) and there are empty soap holders all over the bathroom. Note that rooms lack some amenities, like there was no fridge and limited outlets. Blackout curtains were great, though. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful, though, the room just could have used more cleaning, updating, and quieter early mornings.

Great stay. Large room, nice included extras.
Great hotel. Good location. Nice sized rooms with lots of amenities - free water, snacks, etc. Only complaint is that the beds are quite firm. Not used to this, but maybe it’s a European thing. We would definitely stay here again.
