It's a nice concept but there were issues with cleanliness and maintenance not just in the room but throughout the hotel. The staff appeared a bit cold on a number of occasions.

We had a fantastic stay however pulling up to the car park a manager ran out to the car asking if we were staying to which we said yes. ( didn’t even get a chance to turn the engine off ) asked if we’d booked parking which we said no and she then informed us it was £35 valet parking. We were happy to pay this but tone made us feel uncomfortable. We were only staying one night and they had plenty of parking but she said they would be out to park our car elsewhere. We felt like because our car didn’t fit the vibe of all the other high end cars parked out front she judged us immediately. Other than this all other service was 10/10, breakfast lovely, room lovely.

This hotel was super fun to stay at. The staff was so willing to help when we had an issue and fixed it right away and with options! I marked everything with high intent, besides the AC. Our room was to have AC but it didn't work, BUT they did move us and gave us fans. Not my ideal, but they tried to make it work for it being an old prison. But I would recommend it from the parking attendant to the staff!

Couples overnight stay in Oxford to visit theatre

Very comfortable, quiet room in the 'House of corrections'. Excellent nights sleep in comfy bed. Great large shower. Good selection of drinks on the courtesy tray. Super stylsh, unique hotel, conveniently placed just 5-10 mins walk from Oxford train station and 5 minutes from nearest shops & restaurants. Quality of breakfast ingredients was very good, althugh I did receive baked beans despite saying I didn't want any, and the full English Breakfast was not very warm.

Amazing experience keeping luxury hotel feel

Loved our stay here. The converted prison was such an authentic experience without taking away from the luxury feel you want from a hotel stay. Nice comfy beds. Loved the prison yard which was the brassiere gardens a lovely sun trap for drinks.

Lovely place but bedrooms too warm

We had a lovely one night stay in this quirky hotel. Only downside was room was too warm. When I asked at the desk was told they can only cool so much because of age of building. Other guest areas cool just bedroom. Be helpful to warn guests and maybe supply a fan? Otherwise excellent stay. Breakfast delicious.

The hotel exceeded my expectations. They have done an excellent job of providing comfortable rooms while maintaining the character of the prison. The double cell room I had was a large room with a comfortable bed and with ample storage for a suitcase. The breakfast was excellent with the hot items cooked fresh to order.
