Staying at Malmaison Oxford felt like doing time… The room was spacious, spotless, the bed was actually comfortable (shocking for a former prison), turning on the lights gives you that prison sound and the location is dangerously convenient for wandering Oxford. Add in the juicy history of the building and suddenly your overnight stay comes with a side of true crime vibes. Clean, central, and delightfully dramatic — 10/10 would get “locked up” again.

Unusual but well executed prison conversion. I hope this is the closest I get to staying in a cell overnight! The room we stayed in was spacious … actually 3 cells knocked together. Reception staff were excellent. Hotel location was very convenient… short walk to city centre.

Great location. We stayed in the Houses of Correction which are a bit tired and our room could do with a deep clean and repair work (broken floor tile in the bathroom). The bar was nice, great ambiance. Prices were very high for what you get. Staff were very helpful.

We enjoyed our stay—the hotel is in a great location and abounding in charm and unique character. The only downside was our heat would cut off after a few hours, so we would awake to a 17deg Celsius room. Other than that, we loved our time at MalMaison.
