Everything from when we entered to checkout was perfect. The building is unique and landscape is beautiful. Rooms are bigger than the standard European hotels. Service was excellent! Walking distance to everything. One of the best experiences I’ve had this trip. Must stay when in Oxford.

Beautiful unique property slap bang in the center of Oxford. Very friendly staff. Only downside for me was the pillows shrunk down to nothing once you lay your head on them. A very minor detail of course.

wonderful experiece, everything was great, however, the only issue we had, it could do with some opening windows, I understand it was an Ex prison, however they could have designed the windows around the the theme. but overall outstanding and will visit again..

Ideal location with all of central oxford in walkable distance. Quirky hotel formerly a prison. Great base for the oxford castle tour next door. Helpful, courteous, professional and friendly staff. Great stay we had everything we needed.

The concept is interesting but can’t excuse neglecting updates. For the cost I was surprised by the cheap fixtures and industrial carpeting. Mildew in the shower and dirty room service dishes left in the halls. Definitely not worth the price.

5* Prison experience
Fantastic place to stay!!!! Great staff but the fact it used to be a prison added a fun feel to the experience.
