Malmaison Oxford, Oxford

We really annoyed Malmaison Oxford. It was well located even for the bus station for our day trip to Blenheim on our second day. A very unique and comfortable hotel.

We were so pleased with the location, next to the Oxford Castle, in the heart of town. So much to see and do. The hotel itself is beautifully renovated inside the old jail, a fascinating place with great spots for food and drink

A very very good hotel, perfect location to visit Oxford.

Amazing hotel! The staff and room were excellent. We stayed here and at the Randolph Hotel close by. Malmaison is much better in every way! The staff helped make the stay memorable. Try the breakfast. We'll definitely be back !

Location is superb with Oxford main street a few steps away. Pleasant checkin with receptionist (& porter) assisting 2 tired travellers who had arrived much later than planned. We also acknowledge assistance provided during checkout. Hotel is situated in a former prison and is worthy of exploration; also the untouched cell in lower level. Although we had not opted for the overpriced breakfast, we found many suitable options close by; Art Cafe a short two minute walk away was a favorite. Now the challenges. We were not interested in the cell experience so chose a Superior room. While the room itself possessed expected facilities including a comfortable bed, we were very surprised that a hotel of this stature & price lacked AC, esp. when this had been advertised as a feature - in fact there is no AC throughout the hotel merely a "cooler" feature. Room was very hot & so uncomfortable that window had to remain open. Luckily, we were not in the hotel over a weekend as our room was over a bar & the noise level in combination with the cigarette smoke wafting in through the open window was already an unwelcome intrusion that prevented us from using our balcony on those wonderful Oxford evenings. We were informed that this non-hotel bar under our room is licensed for parties & late openings at weekends - opening window at night would not have been an option. We love Oxford & will return but not here unless AC is installed & the bar underneath our room bought & converted to hotel space
