+ We had a wonderful stay at Malmaison Oxford, perfectly situated in the centre of Oxford and ideally located for visiting our daughter at her university college. The hotel itself is fascinating, being set in a former prison, with the rooms cleverly converted from the original cells. The original prison doors are still in place, which adds a really unique character and makes the whole experience something rather special. Despite its unusual history, our room was fantastic, beautifully presented, very comfortable and a lovely place to relax. The bar was warm and welcoming, and all the staff we encountered were friendly, helptul and made us feel very much. There is even an original cell to visit which gives you an insight into the history of the building. A really memorable stay in a unique hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would happily return. Highly recommended.

− I expected continental to be laid out with breads, meats and cheeses like other hotels rather than ordering if off the menu - I prefer to choose myself
