Stairs/hallway leading the room are all scratched and dirty. The rooms are just as run down as the stairs/hallway. Massive black marks on the wall. Towels were white but are now grey as they were old, poor quality and rough to dry yourself on. Bath robes i did not touch as they were also dirty looking and rough. Carpets were dirty. Photos showed coffee machine and pods but that wasn't there anymore. Breakfast was below average, sausage was more like a fried hotdog. No salt, pepper or sauces provided.
I don't ever complain, but on this occasion i feel i need to as i paid £230 for this room which was described as luxury. It really isn't, it so run down it resembles the quality you'd imagine in a hostel. Im sure it was luxury 10 years ago, but £230 i paid for 1 night is not justified just for its central location, which was the only positive
I was embarrassed as this was a surprise for a 40th birthday. I was embarrassed as it looked like id got the room cheap. But I paid luxury prices for a run down room with dirty rough towels etc

This was a really nice place in a great location. It is right off the Square in Burton on the water which is a lively place during the daylight hours, but then is quiet at night. There is a lovely park with ariver running through the middle of town. All the tourist shopping and mailing about along with locals with their dogs. It is really a lovely safe city feel. They bring breakfast to your room in the morning from the fish and chip shop below. The breakfast was excellent! What a great place to stay.

location, location, meh

You cant beat the location, but, thats about it. Its not the boutique hotel it represents itself as. The amount of scuff marks on the walls was more like a well used train station or a paediatric waiting room not renovated since the 70s. Two sinks, one plug didnt unplug, the other was missing. No parking and nearest parking is 5 minute walk away, not the 2 minutes the hotel says. That may not seem like a lot, but its not honest to lie like that. Parking costs £20 a day, so factor that in. wifi disconnects you approx eight times a day. Smart TV never connects to internet and so not smart, no netflix or youtube etc. Breakfast was delivered to the room on time and warm each day. So in conclusion, the location is great, but the property upkeep is worse than you would see in a hotel you rent by the hour...

There's everything you need for a comfortable stay, comfy bed, nice bathroom brilliant service. Breakfast served in your room is unique. There's just a couple of niggles for me, like the shower leaks onto the floor and the curtains could fit better. Staying on the high street does have its noises to contend with especially if the windows are open. Other than that we had a great stay.

We stayed in the Dollar room which is on the first floor overlooking the river. Beautiful setting and central to the town.

The picture given for this place is somewhat deceiving. It may have been an old bank at one stage but now it's a chip shop. Hard to find if you're driving down High St looking for a building saying Old Bank Rooms. The sign/entrance is in an alley. You then need to go up back stairs to a lock box to get your key. Our room was clean but very small. Would we stay again... sorry but no.

A lovely stay but not completely worth the price.

When we first arrived it was a keysafe system so we were able to check in freely which was good, it also provided a code to enter after 9:30pm as they lock the outside door at this time (although we couldnt see said keysafe for the outer door). As we entered we found it to be a beautiful big room with a very comfortable bed (although we did not like the pillows, fluffy appearance but flat once you lay on them). We had the Rupee suite with the 2 person bath - it was overall very clean and stunning! Lovely shower cubicle but of the evening when we went to run the bath it made a horrendously loud rumbling noise and it vibrated all throughout the bathroom and bedroom - we used the shower head attached to fill the bath instead which took a while as you can imagine - we reported this to them which theyve then passed onto their maintenance. The room is above a chip shop so we could certainly feel the heat rising, very toasty but not so nice in summer! The breakfast system was easy to follow and we ordered our breakfast for 8:30-9am and it arrived at 8:25am so very nice - the food was delicious and provides applejuice/orange jucie option, alongside the tea coffee in the room. We thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience but i wouldnt go as far to say it was worth the price for one overnight stay.

Terrible yen room

The room is advertised as small but a luxury suite. The reality a small what I would describe as an attic space. Moving around the room was difficult because of the small space. The room smelt of dust, was full of coffee stained grimy walls with cracks and scratches everywhere. The window was rotting and the floors in the bathroom not clean. The hotel is situated above a chip shop and smelt of grease. The information book was covered in dust and coffee stains, sticky and dust to touch! The bathroom has a tiny shower cubicle which you would struggle to fit a child in let alone an adult, it was leaking, paint from the ceiling above was flaking off whilst trying to shower. The temperatures went from freezing to scorching whilst under it. The holder was not secure, shower fell hitting me on the head twice and burning my back on the mixer tap. Door had to be left open to turn around in! The breakfast had to be eaten in room, no table or chairs, so balanced on your lap on the bed, no milk for tea/coffee. No fire instructions in room or hall way no escape route on top floor or fire extinguisher. A disgusting dirty room, very uncomfortable and hot. Caution when booking, I have emailed the company seeking compensation awaiting a reply.

Fantastic location, but should have been more transparent in the listing. The location could not be more central. It was right in the middle of the village, and despite no onsite parking, there were convenient options nearby. The Yen suite is comically tiny. Like, really, really tiny. We only really found out when the check in instructions arrived. They could have been transparent from the start, or even marketed the room as the “tiniest suite” and the perception may have been different. The other thing, the room was about 28-30 deg C. at night. Only a small fan, and a window that only opened a crack, and no cross breeze. It was unbearably hot. The room condition was just “okay”. Lots of scuffs and scratches on the walls where people struggled to wedge their suitcase between the wall and bed. The shower was small enough that a “generously proportioned” guest might not fit. The good part: the check in was smooth, the location could NOT BE BETTER, and the breakfast was exceptional.

Whilst the exterior of the building looked lovely, and the location was great, when we got inside it was a different story. We should have known what the room would be like based on the corridors - there were chunks missing out of the walls. When we opened the door to the room it was not what we had booked. We’d booked ‘luxury’ accommodation. Instead we got a dirty room with towels older than me, coffee (I hope!) stains everywhere including up the walls, grimy surfaces and again chunks missing out of the walls. Very very poorly maintained and in no way luxury. We didn’t spend the night here - we found a lovely hotel a 5 minute walk away and had a great time in Bourton. But I would not recommend Old Bank Rooms in a million years.

Clean & comfy

Easily parked in large car park 5mins away, £20 for 24hrs. We were able to check in early but if couldn’t we would have had to leave luggage in the car as there is nowhere to leave it as it’s an unmanned property. Had one minor issue as my email with the key code didn’t come through, I rang the emergency number on the door and all sorted within a minute, excellent response.
Stayed in Sterling, bed was super comfy, lovely view, all very clean.
Coffee & water is provided in mini fridge and breakfast served in the room ( no condiments with breakfast).

Memorable stay, 10/10 for location and views.

Location and views over the river and Bourton 10/10, good sized suite and a huge bathroom, with rolltop bath and separate shower, twin sinks(stayed in The Euro suite).
Superking bed, very comfortable, fridge in the room, all key facilities provided, check in a simple process.
Breakfast ordered the night before and delivered to your room at the requested time, good selection, good quality.
If you’re being really picky the room could do with some age related wear and tear decorating touching up, deep clean the soft seats and carpet stains.
Overall a good stay in a decent property with incredible views, in an incredible location which is why you pay a premium price.
Just lower your expectations around the decor/finish it’s not the Ritz and doesn’t pretend to be.(Your paying for the location).

Stayed in the Yen room for one night, I thought it might be small, but that's an understatement. The Yen room is tiny - just big enough for the bed and don't get me started on the ensuite. If you can get in the shower, you wont have room to turn around, I have never seen one so compact. Would be better made into a wet room. The radiator wouldn't switch off/down so it was very hot, but at least the window opens. Nice view. Could do with a new paint job to the room, probably because you do have to squeeze around the bed. I believe this was the smallest room and appears to be about the size of the other room's ensuites, so for a more comfortable stay I would recommend a different room. Would I stay here again? Yes, but not this room and only if the radiators can be turned off. Breakfast alright and Yen just about okay for 1 night. Great location. Parking is in a public car park, but fine at this time of year.

I was in yen room and the shower is very small and the shower fittings are worn so you need to hold the hand held to use but as it’s a very small cubicle it isn’t easy . Obviously this is a minor issue as is when leaving I couldn’t put the keys back in the safe box as it wouldn’t open again.

The cleaner was the most lovely man who couldn’t have done more to make our stay comfortable. In the heart of town it was perfect to walk to dinner etc. the stairs were difficult to navigate with large suitcases. The picking up of the keys was confusing as the instructions said it was offsite but it was onsite and we walked the town looking for Hartley House and it turned out to be a very old name for the property we stayed in. We paid £35 for two nights parking which did add to the cost of the weekend.

Where to begin…the entire experience went from bad to worse. To start, the room was not ready when we went to check in at the advertised check in time. After being promised that it would only be another 5 minutes, we waited an additional 30 minutes to get in to a room that was in terrible shape. Large stains on the bed and sheets. Stains on the side table and chairs. Massive black scuff marks on the walls. A spider made its home in the (obviously uncleaned) bathtub. The shower and sink barely drained to the point of not being functional. And on top of all that, the basic security amenities of a security lock on the door was painfully absent and when we attempted to contact the facility manager, we were ghosted all weekend. If this room was one third of the cost, I would say it is overpriced.

Great Stay & Things You Might Not Know

As other reviews say this hotel is ideally located in the centre of the village with most rooms, including ours, overlooking the river. Ours (Sterling) was spacious and well appointed with a large bathroom & a large comfortable bed. What other reviews might not tell you is;
* There is a chip shop on the ground floor
* all breakfasts are delivered to your room at half hour slots of your choice.
* There are no staff at the hotel (keys access from key safes)
* Bourton can get extremely busy ,especially on sunny weekends ,and you almost certainly wont be able to park close to the hotel
However none of this is really a problem (though we had to ring the contact as our key safe number hadn't been emailed to us). The chip shop doesn't stay open late & doesn't smell. The breakfasts were always delivered on time & were delicious. There's a pay car park just on the edge of the village about 10 minutes walk away. The crowds go home in the evening!

Prior to writing this review I have given the hotel 3 opportunities to respond to me privately. The location, the view, the room, the breakfast can’t be faulted. All outstanding. However the mattress in the Euro suite is broken. When laying on it you sink right to the base. Very unpleasant night. Ruined what would otherwise have been a perfect stay.
