Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent
"Upon arrival at malmaison we were ushered up to the front of the hotel were our car was then parked for us, leaving us to take our bags and check in. On entering Malmaison you are struck immediately with how much work has gone into redesigning the prison into the hotel it has now become, check in was smooth and efficient, the staff very welcoming, we were given our room cards and encouraged to enjoy our sentence with them for the duration of our stay, this put at ease straight away. We were locked up on the fifth floor and found our room to be spacious and cosy, plenty of hanging space for our clothes, with the usual tea/ coffee etc to be sufficient for our needs, the biscuits and chocolates were a nice touch. The bar staff were welcoming with nothing being too much trouble, they were very knowledgeable about the drinks they were serving, Jed served us our first drink and was so polite and engaging. We didn’t stay for breakfast or meals as we prefer to explore the surrounding area. On the whole it was a very enjoyable experience."

"This hotel would of got 5 stars but the bathroom smelled of cabbage especially after the door had been shut, also the basin is set in a very large piece marble which meant my top got wet anytime I used it as I had to stretch over wet marble, it does not affect tall people. Breakfast is very good."

"The hotel is very good and should be excellent. Unfortunately, it is let down in one area, the restaurant. We had issues at breakfast on both mornings as did others seated around us. I would describe the breakfast as “chaos”. It is a shame because aside from that the hotel is very good. The check in staff were excellent and the spa is more than adequate."
