"I had an absolutely unforgettable stay at Malmaison Oxford in Cell Room 128, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! This boutique hotel, set in a beautifully converted Victorian prison, blends historic charm with modern luxury in the most captivating way. Room 128, a cozy yet stylish space, was a perfect mix of quirky and comfortable. The original cell features, like the heavy door and stone walls, gave it a unique vibe, while the plush king-size bed, mood lighting, and sleek en-suite with a powerful shower made it feel indulgent. It was spotlessly clean, quiet, and the ideal retreat after exploring Oxford’s nearby sights. The highlight of my stay, though, was the bar experience, thanks to the incredibly talented mixologist, Sam. His creativity and passion for cocktails were unmatched! Sam crafted us some of the most delicious and inventive drinks from the extensive cocktail menu, each one a masterpiece. He was friendly, engaging, and took the time to chat about his craft, making the evening feel special. The staff were warm and attentive throughout. The hotel’s location in the Castle Quarter is unbeatable—steps from Oxford’s shops, and restaurants. My stay in Cell Room 128 was a perfect blend of history, luxury, and exceptional service, elevated by Sam’s mixology magic. Unique experience waking up in jail on my birthday......for me anyway!!! Five stars all the way."
