"We had a great time in this property, which is described accurately on the site. It is located a bit outside Oxford, but within walking distance (40 min brisk walk). You can also use the wheels in Oxford (scooters mostly available) and the X3 bus was very convenient. The reason why I docked marks is because I found the processes associated with the property stressful. Now I have been through it, I would book again. Check-in is process heavy compared to a hotel and you have to pay a £250...

"We loved this hotel as it is well positioned in Oxford. We were met as we drove up by the valet who took care of our car. The hotel is in an old prison which was cool. We had rooms in the female prison block which was across the courtyard. The rooms were very comfortable. We had drinks at the bar which was great. Breakfast was delicious and I would recommend getting it as part of your stay. We enjoyed our stay here and would book it again if we returned to Oxford."

"Lovely clean and tidy hotel with very helpful and professional staff. The bedroom was also very clean and tidy and very modern, however it did become a little warm and couldn't see cool the room down as the aircon didn't do very much and the window was a fixed unit so couldn't be opened. We slept very well on very nice beds.in the morning we went down for breakfast around 9.30am but couldn't find anywhere to sit as it was rammed,we went back to our room and waited till around 10am having to make changes to our plans but this time we did manage to get somewhere to sit and have breakfast . The breakfast was very nice apart from the sausages which had a very strange taste but the all the other food on offer was lovely. Apart from the breakfast we did have a pleasant stay and would go back if we are ever in the area again. The price of the alcoholic drinks afrom the bar I think are very overpriced and need to be reviewed. We went around the corner to buy cheaper priced alcoholic drinks from the sports bar in the complex next door."
