“The Old Parsonage is a perfect blend of luxurious comfort and authentic charm. Our rooms had everything we needed and I especially appreciated the shades that keep the rooms dark, the walls that keep them quiet, and the A/C that keeps them cool. Breakfasts are excellent and we loved having a snack or a meal on the lovely terrace. But the thing that really makes this hotel stand out is the staff, especially Andrea :) I don't think we've ever felt so genuinely welcomed and taken care of.
A couple of things to be aware of: There are lots of narrow stairs and no elevator (see: authentic charm), though the aforementioned awesome staff is happy to help with luggage. And the location is slightly removed from the center of town. For us, this was a plus since we liked getting away from the bustle, and we loved being near the charming neighborhood of Jericho. And you can always hop on a bus. Speaking of which, there's a bus stop right next to the hotel for the bus to Blenheim Palace, which was super convenient.
We ate at the sister restaurants, Gee's and Quod, which were excellent. In Jericho, we liked Branca and Brasserie Blanc. We were also well-located for walks that were longer but well worth it to the Cherwell Boathouse and The Perch. If you go during high tourist season, definitely make reservations!”

“As usual, our stay at the Old Parsonage was top-notch. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing the staff is; from check-in to the restaurant, to housekeeping - everyone is warm, helpful, intuitive. and professional. It is truly the main reason we continue to stay there. The atmosphere is quintessentially Oxford, yet modern enough to not feel antiquated. The warmth and charm of the hotel is unmatched in Oxford.”

“I had a wonderful time at this hotel over the course of my four day stay. The location is convenient to central Oxford with the walkable proximity to restaurants and to all the colleges available for sightseeing.
The hotel blends the vintage with modern English style. My room was comfortable, although was not cleaned adequately and left me with someone else's clothing.
For a hotel in this price range, the cost is generally reasonable. The expensive accommodations are justified with the quality and the great restaurant located in the hotel. The hotel is generally quiet, and the thin walls do not allow for much privacy when it is occupied.
I received excellent service. The staff were warm, kind, and helpful and the in room tea and coffee station and mini fridges are appreciated.
The one incident with the first night's housekeeping was the one downfall to a stay I enjoyed and would recommend to anyone coming to visit Oxford.”
