Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
It’s an expensive novelty, it’s comfortable and in a good location.
Would have been good to have some historical information on the walls and made more of the fact that it is a very old prison.
This hotel is gorgeous, fun to look around at, it’s in a great area and the room was nice and clean. Friendly staff and excellent food and bar. Highly recommend.
A lovely night away with a fantastic breakfast.
Quirky staying in an old jail but enjoyed the atmosphere and history.
Breakfast was amazing. Freshly cooked and ample selection in the continental area.
A great place to stay.
Staff were very friendly - nice check-in and we were given complimentary cocktails when I mentioned we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. Room amenities were good (comfy bed, good shower, and full suite of Sky channels). I really liked the renovated old prison vibe.
the location was perfect for visiting oxford. everything is an easy walk. the hotel had a lot of charm and luxury. Definitely would recommend anyone to stay.
Amazing location, building, team and overall experience. Everything was perfect from checking in to check out. Great place to visit that is a bit different and perfect for a special occasion. Thank you.
Great staff and they called when room was ready and stored our luggage for us. It was a visit for my daughter's 21st birthday and the location was brilliant as she is at the uni there. Lovely, clean and quirky room and very quiet too. Breakfast was also really nice and again, great staff.
Couldnt fault it apart from the lifts being out of action whiile renevations are ongoing....
Room lovely and bed super comfy...towels thick and fluffy..breakfast excellent and staff very nice...lovely Henry behind the bar...
Would come back for sure.
Excellent place, immaculately clean. Staff were superb. Great location for getting around the City. If I had a criticism, it relates to the cost of breakfast. For the amount charged I would expect high quality ingredients - the cooked breakfast presented was of the same standard as Premier Inn/Travelodge. The continental option lacked cheese and meats and again, the selection did not live up to the price charged. Hotel great, breakfast disappointing.
