“Fabulous, and the food was superb”
+The building was remarkable and the conversion to an hotel was fantastic
−Below our room was a pub which played very loud music on the Saturday evening,up to 11pm. It meant that we couldn’t have our balcony door open that night

“Well positioned, historic hotel.”
+Fascinating conversion of a prison. Many tales online about it. We stayed in a cell - the bed was very comfortable and the room was bright. Breakfast was excellent. The barman was diligent and busy and his bar was kept very clean.
−The lift was faulty. Stairs are good for you! The rooms were quite small for the money but the novelty factor made up for it.

+We had a wonderful stay at Malmaison Oxford, perfectly situated in the centre of Oxford and ideally located for visiting our daughter at her university college. The hotel itself is fascinating, being set in a former prison, with the rooms cleverly converted from the original cells. The original prison doors are still in place, which adds a really unique character and makes the whole experience something rather special. Despite its unusual history, our room was fantastic, beautifully presented, very comfortable and a lovely place to relax. The bar was warm and welcoming, and all the staff we encountered were friendly, helptul and made us feel very much. There is even an original cell to visit which gives you an insight into the history of the building. A really memorable stay in a unique hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would happily return. Highly recommended.

“Fabulous and great location”
+The location is perfect, a short walk into the centre of Oxford.. The hotel is a fabulous concept, very well upgraded from a prison to a luxury hotel. Parking right outside but at a cost. Good choice at breakfast with continental buffet, toast and cereal plus hot items cooked to order. All the staff we encountered were pleasant and helpful.
−Was disappointed that what I ordered for breakfast was unavailable, assuming they had run out of avocado but would have thought it wouldn’t be difficult to obtain replacement. The beds seemed quite short, I found my feet hanging off the end and I’m not tall, not a problem for me but maybe for others. The bedroom was also hot, no windows opened, this was the reason I didn’t mind my feet hanging off the bed. The quilt was thick, again probably not a problem for some, it was also very noisy, like sleeping in a crisp packet 🙈 probably feathers. Nothing was a great problem as the hotel is stunning.

“Quirky Fun Cell Room , Modern , Clean with great staff and Food”
+Beautiful building and well adapted to a modern hotel environment. Staff helpful and friendly and all the food was great. We had a 3 course meal and breakfast and all high quality. Cell room was big and quirky and loved it. Valet parking was great help.
−Oxford council have a silly congestion charge that’s not well sign posted but is only £5. Depending on your route into hotel.

“Unique historic hotel centrally located for touring”
+Great location for exploring the city... Quiet and off the main tourist areas but close enough for all the major sites and restaurants.
−Because it is literally an old prison, it requires moving your bags up and down some stairs and across an exercise yard... not too bad but it should be known in case you may need support from front desk.

“nice night in Oxford and perfectly situated in the city centre to soak up the sights”
+breakfast was delicious
−I expected continental to be laid out with breads, meats and cheeses like other hotels rather than ordering if off the menu - I prefer to choose myself
