The location is very convenient both for the city centre and the rail station. The food was very good and reasonably priced. The old prison setting makes a stay there different from the usual hotel. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Clean, warm and good fun as it was a converted prison cell. The breakfast choice was good. The evening dinner was lovely. The opportunity to leave the car in the car park whilst walking around Oxford was great. Great location.
