Stay here, it’s fabulously fantastic.
An absolutely stunning hotel, such a brilliant conversion (it’s so clearly still the prison that it originally was, in a really very good way!), beautifully fitted out (what a great bath) and with such great and friendly service. Definitely in my Top 10 of all hotels I’ve stayed in (and I do stay at rather a lot), I will be back - hopefully with my wife some time (this was a business trip). If you can, stay here, you won’t regret it.

Perfect …almost
Unique and very nice building. High end look and feel. Shame about the dining experience. Any regular restaurant it would have been great. For a high end spot, it just wasn’t quite there. The servers seemed to care yet they knew nothing of the food or drink choices. Breakfast was good. The building missed the mark in having information about the hotel’s construction and even signage.

Great experience but watch for stealth charges
Unique experience staying in a jail. Room was great and comfortable. Food was good, not great and expensive. Was a fine dining menu but only side was greens and chips, which didn’t really go with the menu. Potato option would have been better. Made to go through champagne bar and felt needed to order drinks before being allowed to go through to the restaurant. I’m guessing in an attempt to try and upsell drinks. Although to do this would need actually offer a menu! At check out tried to put an optional reception and house keeping service charge to bill with no previous mention of this. Felt very awkward when we didn’t want to pay…£200 a night room should cover any service charges!!!

A loud machine (generator?) ran outside our room for 1/2 hour early on Saturday morning which gave us an unwelcome and unwanted alarm call. While the hotel facilities and rooms were very good the food was not up to the same standard. Breakfast in particular was poor with cheap sliced bread and orange squash rather than fresh orange juice served. Not acceptable in any hotel never mind one in this price bracket.

This hotel is amazing!!! We have stayed in many five star hotels and this should be a five star hotel!!! It is extremely clean. The rooms are excellent, very good bathrooms. All furnished to a high standard. Would definitely recommend to friends and would definitely stay again. The history to this place is an added extra and the tours are a must
