Fab stay in this amazing prison conversion
My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary with a night in a Club Cell Room here. The room was in the main part of the prison and had been beautifully converted from 3 of the former cells. We loved everything about the hotel from the setting, room, staff and food. One small negative was the fact that the air conditioning was dripping but it didn’t ruin our stay and we reported this on leaving so hopefully it will be fixed ready for future guests.

What a fantastic place to stay. Okay no A/C and windows don’t open but for the experience of staying in a prison cell , it was well worth it. Excellent facilities and friendly staff. Parking sounds expensive but all parking in Oxford is expensive and you are right in the town centre. Definitely return.

Beautiful location. Former “cell” room was unique but retained no hint of the original purpose of the room. An odd thing - no mirror close by an outlet for using a hair dryer. Having stayed on a weekend in July we paid top dollar which I would avoid at all costs were I to return. Better signage of the entrance is needed. We circled the block a couple of times and had to call for precise directions. Once on the property however we were warmly greeted at the door and directed to next steps. Breakfast was great. Dinner options also excellent.

We spent a night in a cell room in the A wing and really enjoyed the unique decor and interesting building, the ambiance in the bar and restaurant, location of the hotel and the complimentary glass of Prosecco on arrival. Minor cons but they didn’t spoil our stay: Shower temperature control was very temperamental, there was an unpleasant drain smell coming from the sink in the morning, and the potato croquettes at breakfast weren’t great. A warning to fellow tall people: The bed head design resulted in our feet hanging over the end of the bed, which was a bit perplexing in a king size bed until we realised why! The bus for the Oxford park and ride stops just 2 minutes from the hotel, which is convenient if you’d rather use the park and ride than the valet parking at the hotel.

Everything was exceptional. Only negative is that our room was hot with no a/c. Instead we had a fan that did its best but not ideal

Lovely, unique hotel in city centre
Had a good stay at the Malmaison in Oxford. Good location in city centre (10 min walk from train station, 5 min walk from Westgate shopping centre). The breakfast and bar was nice, though service was a little slow. I think more staff would be beneficial, especially on weekends. I stayed in the House of Corrections section. The rooms were nice, but it wouldn't be great for someone with accessibility issues as there's no lift and it's separate from the main building (have to go outside to access it and go down some stairs). Bear this in mind if you have luggage. It can also be noisy outside as there's an outside area for dinner and drinks plus bins going out etc. Overall, it was a great stay and it was cool seeing a former prison reformed into a hotel. I'd like to stay here again, but I'd stay in the main part of the hotel instead (A-Wing).
