We had the best time, greeted by a lovely gentleman who parked our car for us, check in easy with a friendly member of staff. We stayed in a standard cell room which was clean and adequate, bed was lovely and comfy. We had dinner at the slug & lettuce which was on the hotel grounds. Breakfast was amazing , hubby said it was the best he had had 😄 will definitely come again. Fyi.. congestion charge came in last week £5 per day

This was such a unique experience with being at the castle and part of the old prison. Our room was modern and clean while the surroundings felt like a part of history.

The hotel is in the perfect location to visit Oxford city and colleges. It is close to shops and restaurants and provided you pre-book the parking is very convenient. Our room ( junior suite) was large and comfortable. The room was cold on arrival and it was not clear how the heating worked but once we got instructions it warmed up fine. The bathroom was cold throughout our stay because the only heating is a heated towel rail which is insufficient for the size of room. Also when you turned in the light a fan turned on automatically. It was aggressively loud and there was no other light source. There was a free standing tub in the bathroom but if you wanted to use it you would need to listen to the industrial strength fan which is not very conducive to a relaxing soak in the bath! Service was good at reception but it took half an hour to get a drink in the restaurant do our food arrived before we were served a drink! Our server did biologist when we complained and chomp’s the first round of drinks..

Nice room, clean, warm, spacious. It would have been nice for bottled water to be complimentary. The room was expensive and having to pay for water from the fridge was a little excessive.

An unusual and well appointed suite. Lots of stairs so be prepared to climb. Minor issues were speedily remedied. A bit pricey, but mostly worth the cost for location and quirky quaintness of building.
