8/10 Very good

Beautiful but uncomfortable
The setting is wonderful, the rooms are clean and surprisingly light. The mattress was possibly from when it was a prison (it was awful), so didn't get much sleep.
Peter, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

2 night stay
Limited parking but we did pay to park at the hotel. Disappointing to find no draft beer, they had ran out. Breakfast was very good. Our room as not very warm, the bathroom was cold. Quirky hotel and nice to experience. Everything was nice a clean.
Michelle, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

A must for Oxford. Superb Hotels
Room was brilliant - duplex room overlooking the mound. Balcony and firm king size bed. Bath was leaking so we told them about that (these things happen) but the bathroom was huge and well presented. Another themed hotel based on the prison that its built around and as part of. Superb building loaded with characteristics. Friendly staff and just situated a few steps away from the Westgate shopping mall and variety of different restaurants

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.

Amazing Hotel
Amazing hotel, location could not be better, i booked the hotel parking which was perfect, they parked my car right outside the hotel front door. You will not be disappointed.

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

6/10 Good

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.

Fun place to stay and very convenient for exploring the town of Oxford!

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
