Was a cool nice building. Unfortunately seems a little dated in the rooms, and not completely clean, plenty of dust and dirty glasses wouldn’t expect that from a ~£200 per night hotel.

Night in a Cell... Criminals have it easy :-D :-D
Cell room was a great experience, however other half mentioned that the lighting could have been better for applying makeup etc. Couple of switches that didn't seem to control everything, but overall I would visit again, Staff were fantastic, and defiantly would go again.

Christmas weekend
Concierge parking at the front of the hotel was great. Right on the doorstep of central Oxford close by everything we needed.
Have been to London for many years but this may now be our go to hotel for our Christmas’s of the future

Not the fault of the people who work there, but I found staying in a former prison to be deeply unpleasant, particularly one where they still have numerous iron bars, gates etc.

Interesting hotel.
Interesting hotel history and setting. Not sure it is worth a premium over other hotels. Room was nothing special for the cost. Lack of mini bar, everything including movies (£6.99!) extra

Acquired and historical place to stay
We had a fabulous stay at Malmaison. The staff and service was really good and the decor and ambiance of the place is perfect . The authenticity and decor is fantastic and its location is perfect. We loved the little museum show cell , which showed how the cells were originally. A nice little touch. We also ate in the restaurant and the food was delicious. .

Jailtime in Oxford
A great one night stay. We were given a free upgrade. Room and bathroom very nice. Upgraded room wasn't in 'the prison' though so lacked the charm of the older part of the hotel. Staff very pleasant. A bit of an issue with breakfast: everyone's food took a long time to arrive. Restaurant manager refunded everyone's breakfast bill without having to be asked.
