Old Parsonage Hotel

Quaint clean and historic excellent restaurant

Difficult stairs

The staff were personable, helpful and efficient. The room was superb, comfortable bed, lovely bathroom, powerful shower, exquisite home-baked cookies, top quality beverages. Complimentary for restaurants- we had dinner at the Quod: the food was delicious, buzzing atmosphere.

Exceptional service. Great food, brilliant atmosphere. Very friendly

Amazing hotel in possibly the best location in Oxford. We stayed five nights for a romantic city revisit. Many visitors for sure will enjoy the old world charm of the building. For me this was less important having grown up in a similar environment. What struck me was the amazing experience provided by the staff, all of whom, without exception, were customer focused and extremely pleasant making our stay super enjoyable. A big shout out to Stefan in particular for his ability not only to read our moods but also to take the lead in managing our entire experience. This leadership and intelligence meant we were always perfectly looked after. He'll make an excellent hotel manager wherever he decides to go. Also we have to say that dining is probably the best in the area and we would recommend the restaurant to hotel guests and city visitors alike. Thank you all for such a wonderful time. We really enjoyed and look forward to being able to return.

Given the relatively high room rate, I thought our room could have been made more ergonomic with furniture made to measure for the space. We were offered a free upgrade (which we declined) and that's not really the point. Design the room for living in when full of people and baggage not just to look at. A final point maybe is that the breakfast menu was a little meanly designed - the dishes were excellent everything perfectly cooked - but I do prefer a breakfast that offers generous (ie unlimited) coffee and buffet access within a global price. I want to be clear that these are niggles and not in any way anything that detracted significantly from our extremely pleasant stay.

Very pleasant but a little expensive for such a small room.

Location is perfect and the facility if charming.
