The concept is interesting but can’t excuse neglecting updates. For the cost I was surprised by the cheap fixtures and industrial carpeting. Mildew in the shower and dirty room service dishes left in the halls. Definitely not worth the price.

If you want to sleep do not stay here, they share a recycle bank with surrounding bars who dump there bottles in the recycling bins at 01.15, 02.30 & 05.30. This happens every night. Along with this the council waste collection arrives Sat & Sun at 05.30. On arrival at reception they swarm on you in a rush to get your car taken away as no onsite parking. They ask when and what time you want your car over the weekend how are you to know when you have only just arrived. I would never stay there again.

The cell rooms do not have a window that opens , there is no AC. The rooms are hot and stuffy, glad to be home . A basic fan was provided, reception said the issue was being addressed. Although similar reviews go back a long time.

wonderful experiece, everything was great, however, the only issue we had, it could do with some opening windows, I understand it was an Ex prison, however they could have designed the windows around the the theme. but overall outstanding and will visit again..

A great place to stay on the edge of old Oxford.

What a quirky hotel on the edge of old Oxford. Easy walking to all that Oxford has to offer and copious restaurants and cafes on your doorstep but that said, the hotel does have a very nice restaurant downstairs so I'd definitely give that a try. Tip - pre-book your parking.

Unique setting, let down by poor air cooling system, ie no air con, which meant it was really humid & hot during the hottest day of the year so far.

It's a nice concept but there were issues with cleanliness and maintenance not just in the room but throughout the hotel. The staff appeared a bit cold on a number of occasions.

Brief

My stay was brief. I used the hotel pretty much as a bed. Have stayed before many times, and for a more leisurely stay I know it to have a good vibe.
