After my horrible experience to book this hotel

It’s been a while I have stayed in a Malmaison hotel. Oxford was a
quick destination of choice for going away from London during the
weekend. Malmaison again didn’t fail me with the quality of their
bedrooms, lounge, restaurant and originality. Even though I have
struggled to make an online booking on their website, I have managed to
get a god deal with a double room from the centre of the converted
prison priced at £109 per night and also a twin spacious room priced at
£139. Rooms are very well decorated with good taste and they kept some
features from the old  prison like the door of the room. You could spot
that our room was in fact 3 cells in the past. The shower room with
powerful shower was very nice coming up with fantastic amenities. Also
each room is with a lcd screen and a dvd player playing divx (if you
bored with tv channels). The restaurant is typical of other restaurants
I have tried from the Malmaison brand. A mix of French / Italian /
English food with good quality ingredients. I was a bit disappointed by
the breakfast buffet. I didn’t found it exceptional and was lacking of
croissants and pains au chocolat. £15 for a breakfast, you expect a
lot usually.  Finally don’t forget to pay a visit to the "Visitors
Room" in the evening. The room is gigantic all painted in black from
top to bottom.

Definitely a hotel to recommend for your next Oxford weekend breakaway with friends or with your partner.
