We spent a night in a cell room in the A wing and really enjoyed the unique decor and interesting building, the ambiance in the bar and restaurant, location of the hotel and the complimentary glass of Prosecco on arrival. Minor cons but they didn’t spoil our stay: Shower temperature control was very temperamental, there was an unpleasant drain smell coming from the sink in the morning, and the potato croquettes at breakfast weren’t great. A warning to fellow tall people: The bed head design resulted in our feet hanging over the end of the bed, which was a bit perplexing in a king size bed until we realised why! The bus for the Oxford park and ride stops just 2 minutes from the hotel, which is convenient if you’d rather use the park and ride than the valet parking at the hotel.

Everything was exceptional. Only negative is that our room was hot with no a/c. Instead we had a fan that did its best but not ideal

Lovely, unique hotel in city centre
Had a good stay at the Malmaison in Oxford. Good location in city centre (10 min walk from train station, 5 min walk from Westgate shopping centre). The breakfast and bar was nice, though service was a little slow. I think more staff would be beneficial, especially on weekends. I stayed in the House of Corrections section. The rooms were nice, but it wouldn't be great for someone with accessibility issues as there's no lift and it's separate from the main building (have to go outside to access it and go down some stairs). Bear this in mind if you have luggage. It can also be noisy outside as there's an outside area for dinner and drinks plus bins going out etc. Overall, it was a great stay and it was cool seeing a former prison reformed into a hotel. I'd like to stay here again, but I'd stay in the main part of the hotel instead (A-Wing).

Real life prison experience
Room was extremely hot, no AC and no windows. It was a converted prison cell. I now know what prison life is like but coat me £250

A converted gaol in Oxford city centre? Count me in! The concept of this property has been well-executed for a novelty weekend away; smack dab in the centre of Oxford, there are loads of shopping and dining options available. Call-outs are parking (the courtyard is very small, so book early) and the condition of the ‘new wing’ where we stayed; even arriving late and jet lagged, it was clear that the room we were in was in need of TLC. Overall, great concept, convenient, friendly staff; give it a go!
