Bed was very comfortable. Location was fun and in easy walking distance to the attractions. We enjoyed our 3 course dinner, which was reasonably priced.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This is an iconic hotel. The rooms are clean and modern and the staff are friendly and welcoming. However the star of the show is the ‘prison’ backdrop which manages to make you feel like a hotel guest without feeling like a guest of his majesty.

Absolutely stunning hotel. What they’ve done with the building is magnificent. We had a cell room which was incredibly quiet and comfortable. Will stay here again when in Oxford.

The staff were very helpful and friendly, the room clean and spacious, and the cell rooms really are worth staying in.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

A rather interesting concept for a hotel and the reconfiguration of the rooms from cells to ensuite rooms were fantastic. The retention of all the original features and the maintenance of the castle is outstanding and its location in relation to the Town Centre is perfect. The Staff were very polite and helpful and the room was spotless. I stayed there for a Caribbean Tourism Event and there was a function hosted on the 3rd Floor in a lovely room with a massive screen. All well presented ad the lunch was quite tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there and the invited guest expressed the same sentiments.

Had a great stay here, perfectly located in central Oxford and also onsite parking which was helpful. Unfortunately our room wasn’t ready for a while after check in time but the staff were apologetic and gave us some money off and a free cocktail which was great. The room was lovely, we stayed in a suite which had a roll top bath which was loveeely! Will definitely be coming back.

A lovely night away with a fantastic breakfast. Quirky staying in an old jail but enjoyed the atmosphere and history. Breakfast was amazing. Freshly cooked and ample selection in the continental area. A great place to stay.

It’s an expensive novelty, it’s comfortable and in a good location. Would have been good to have some historical information on the walls and made more of the fact that it is a very old prison.

Staff were very friendly - nice check-in and we were given complimentary cocktails when I mentioned we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. Room amenities were good (comfy bed, good shower, and full suite of Sky channels). I really liked the renovated old prison vibe.
