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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
