Cons: Nothing.

Cons: The bar staff could not understand the drinks that were being ordered - even something as basic as a Southern Comfort. Reception staff unable to send a basic email off the amount paid to submit to booking.com

Pros: The Old Bank is a very comfortable and very lovely hotel where you can experience all the chic of Oxford. The decoration of the room is perfect. It has been redecorated recently with such a good taste. We felt at home at once ! The bedroom has a perfect view on Saint Mary's church across the street and the dome of the Radcliffe Camera. The staff is very nice and very helpfull.

Pros: Bed. Bathroom was very good. Excellent service by all the staff encountered

Cons: Excellent rooms of good size very comfortable beds. Good facilities for guests and a good breakfast

Pros: Everything else.

Cons: A lovely hotel spoilt by charging guests to park there. And they have increased the parking charge since the time when I made my booking!

Pros: Staff friendly, facilities clean and very good, the evening meal was outstanding.

Pros: Great breakfast. Unfortunately never had time to check out the pool.

Cons: Not a lot. no complaints at all.

Pros: Large clean rooms Fast wifi

Cons: Bt bland and corporate. Not quite as close to the centre as we would have liked.

Pros: Very clean, very friendly staff and breakfast was good

Cons: Room was too hot and I couldn’t turn it down

Pros: Good location for visiting the Kassam football station and not too far from the city centre; also ample parking; reception staff were very helpful.

Cons: We used the bar but they had no draft lager because they had no gas?? I thought this would be resolved quickly but it remained like this all night. In addition, the bar closed at 10.50pm on a Saturday night which we thought was very early when there were residents in the bar area.

Pros: The room was spotlessly clean, and well maintained. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom well-appointed. The staff were friendly and helpful. The price was very cheap for the city centre of Oxford.

Cons: The room was a little bit on the small side, and somewhat overheated. The building is also something of a maze and while lugging my case up and down numerous flights of stairs was only a mild inconvenience, it might be hard to navigate for the slightly less mobile traveller.

Pros: Location excellent. We did not have the breakfast. Room large and warm. Room was clean.

Cons: The room was at the top of the accommodation so had dormer windows. It was a little awkward to manouvre around the beds and sloping roof. Unfortunately the bathrrom was a little dated/tired and there were a couple of problems which we reported at the end of the stay. The TV/remote was a bit flaky Despite these problems, overall I would use this accommodation again

Pros: good sized room, good bathroom, good breakfast

Cons: Was very noisy with my room on the ground floor next to the stairs

Pros: Awesome place

Pros: The arrangement of the furniture in the room was awkward and there was no bedside lamp or table near to the second bed. It could only be reached by getting out of bed. otherwise fine.

Pros: Breakfast was great! In the room there was a radiator you could switch on as you liked, and a window you could open when necessary - a rare example of a hotel room you could keep at just the right temperature.

Cons: The lavatory seat would not stay up! How on earth could anyone design it like that??

Pros: Well finished modern rooms in a historic central location.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Perfect city centre location, luxurious and spacious room. Boutique hotel which has been very clearly converted from an old prison but maintaining many historic features. Enjoyable stay. Will return in future.

Pros: Very comfortable and friendly staff. Would definitely stay again.

Pros: Funky place

Cons: Additions are expensive

Pros: Amazing hotel, location and facilities excellent. Staff friendly, room very comfortable indeed.

Cons: Room was excellent although a little cold.

Pros: Fun place

Cons: The annexe is just like any other hotel - nothing particularly special

Pros: The location

Cons: The building and the food - starter was still wrapped in cling film when it arrived.

Pros: Breakfast was too dry on first day but cooked well on the second day. Staff were attentive and gave me complimentary drink as it was my birthday

Cons: As above re. Breakfast

Pros: In the heart of Oxford, hard to imagine a better location. Randolph is a veritable name and its restaurants are also legendary (if expensive). It was a really attractive and comfortable room, decent size with perhaps the sparkliest bathroom I have ever seen in my life. It was something to marvel out on its own. Breakfast in the morning was also good, although you have to order some dishes rather than have them laid out. We had a major problem with a bathroom ceiling leak but were were moved to a better room promptly to make up for it, so no complaints.

Cons: Nothing specific. See my comments above. Anyone with access issues might find the historic staircases a little much, but I loved it.

Pros: excellent location in central Oxford, minutes away from historic colleges, the central market, and the bus station.

Cons: Rooms were small, extremely overheated and poorly ventilated. Old carpeting triggered allergies. Breakfast not included in the room price and very expensive ($30 for a continental buffet).

Pros: Hotel was dowdy. Old. Cramped. Room poor, bathroom facilities did not work properly. (Room 143) Service terrible. Porters and valet parking good. Dining terrible, long wait and terrible food (inedible). Lots of staff doing nothing. 75 minutes before first course came. Steaks inedible. Risotto was not a risotto. And so it goes on. Breakfast as bad. Too many customers, long queues and poor service. Had to ask 6 times for my food after 35 minutes.

Cons: Porters, concierge and valet parking good. Valet parking essential but you have to pay £40. Hotel just changed hands from Macdonald's to an American chain (Graduate). May be this has something to do with a sub-standard service.

Pros: The room and bed were excellent, and the whole hotel had a grand atmosphere.

Cons: Breakfast was disappointing, the bacon was nice but there was no toaster or marmalade

Pros: The location. I had stayed at this hotel on a number of occasions previously

Cons: I was given a room at the top of the hotel without any heating. When I raised the matter at reception, the receptionist phoned maintenance who confirmed that they were aware of the problem. This being the case, i should never have been given a defective room in the first place. The alternative room provided was noisy and cramped .

Pros: As I hope it was a lovely hotel to stay and a great location very comfortable. A very enjoyable stay. We will definitely stay again.

Cons: The staff were lovely but quite a few were new and quite a few mistakes were made. At dinner and in the bar. Wrong food at dinner incorrect drinks.

Pros: for the price i paid nearly £300 pounds for 1 night .you do not get a full 24 hours in the hotel i,e book in late in the afternoon and leave by 11 the next morning .

Cons: the hotel is old and does need redecoration also for the randolph to be the prestidge hotel in oxford .you cannot get any room service after 10-30 at night .i had treated my wife to an early christmas present .a stay at the randolph overnight for nearly £300 per night .and a show at one of the theaters in oxford we got back to the hotel and was hungry so we got in touch with room service .after constant ringing we got in touch with someone who told us abruptly THERE IS NO ROOM SERVICE AFTER 10-30 .so i rang the front desk after what seemed ages someone answered and explained i cant find our night chef .but they would try and sort something out around eleven thirty i received a call stating we do not do room service after 10-30 because we had a fire here a few years ago .so i said what you cant even serve cold buffet i,e sandwiches i was told i will see what i can do .i then left the hotel to seek something to eat at a local burgher van after getting some food i returned to my hotel and my wife with hot food .after being back at my room for 10 mins .i then had a knock on my door well after midnight and was handed to plates on a tray with ham sandwiches and a handful of crisps .for a hotel which claims to be a four star hotel i felt it was very very poor service .i dont think i got value of service although i did tip the desk and door staff on leaving .p.s. i worked for the intercontinental hotel at hyde park corner in london for years .and in all my time there i have never ever heard of no room service at night .even on a cruise ship you can phone up mid atlantic and get some food .i was very dissapointed with the randolph considering it was an exmas treat for my wife

Pros: It is in an excellent location for visiting my daughter who is studying at Worcestor college.

Cons: We were in a room with heavy scaffolding blocking the entire two windows. Men were talking, yelling & working/pounding in front of the two windows every morning. They totally ignored us who needed sleeping in the room. There were no privacy nor courtesy. We were not informed or asked if it's Ok for the reception to assign such a downgraded room (the windows were blocked by scaffolding entirely)to us at check in either. The service and facilities were at most a one star hotel this time. I stayed in this hotel for about 5 times in the last two years because we were visiting our daughter who was studying at Worcestor college(one block away). They've been always about a three stars hotel standard. But this time was the worst. We will not use this hotel any more. It's totally not worth the price & the poor facility.

Pros: Clean bedsheets and towels

Cons: Very small rooms for the price; You can't reach the reception directly; you basically have to go through hoops and being on hold before someone picks up; the staff are not quick in responding to issues or concerns. Wifi was really quite poor--it bounced off every five minutes.
