Lovely hotel and perfectly situated
Amazing hotel. Very pleased we decided to upgrade to the superior 'room' (was like a small flat). Nicely decorated and a great feel of the history of the place. Absolutely massive bath was amazing! Minor let downs for us were 1) can't be helped but there were road works outside and the room provided was on the ground floor so it was noisy, couldnt open windows etc. 2) the mattress was like a bread board (not what we were used to so personal pref). The combo resulted in a tricky nights sleep and an early wake up. That being said I would still recommend and would happily stay again. Yeah hotel itself is situated near everything in central Oxford..so was a minute away from all the bars and the theater we went to. Breakfast was incredible and served in a cute little hamper.

Quirky but with noisy neighbours
Very comfortable quirky hotel and friendly service but the bar next door was very noisy . Not the hotel’s fault, and it did stop around midnight but an early night was out of the question

Lovely old central hotel
Stayed a couple of nights in a superior room which was large with comfy bed. Lovely old building so there are stairs and corridors in a random fashion. There is no dining room & we chose to eat out for a cooked breakfast at one of the many local cafes.. It's in a very central location off a main road, so quiet. We got the train to Oxford & it was walkable from the station.

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
