For the price, this was a very average stay. The elevator being out of service for the most expensive rooms is unacceptable. Staff were not overly friendly and there was construction all over the property. The front enterance for pictures was really the only interesting part. Would not recommend this hotel.

A Quirky special place to stay.

Beautifully quirky former Oxford Prison hotel. We wanted to stay in a cell room which are only offered with a double bed. We would normally have looked for twin beds but on check in, were offered the opportunity for an extra single bed to be put in the room. Staff were very helpful and professional. The prison has been sympathetically transformed and retains all the former features which make it a special place to stay. Parking was offered right outside if needed. Location is perfect for exploring Oxford.

Excellent experience with helpful reception and catering staff. Only downside is lack of air conditioning and extractor fan in bathroom. The cell rooms offer a novelty overnight stay. Scaffolding outside did not distract from a pleasurable stay in an historic area in the centre of Oxford.

Friendly, comfortable and central.

Really lovely hotel, bang in the middle of Oxford. Very friendly staff, comfortable rooms and interesting building. It is an old prison so the layout can be unusual but it's a very interesting building. Our room had (very good) air conditioning which was handy, I don't think every room has it.
