Malmaison - accommodation in Oxford

Amazing, quirky hotel with lovely staff

The room was disgusting with stains over the bathroom floor and bin, the bedroom had not been vacuumed very well with large build up of dust around the skirtings, and the drawers looked like someone had vomitted in. Awful place, do not stay in this hotel.

Small small room, might not suit you if you are even mildly claustrophobic. And if you don't like AC running all night. Very good for solo travellers needing a basic room. Room was clean. Comfortable bed (I really appreciated that). Easy to check in. Hotel is newly refurbished & EasyJet colour-themed. So you get the pictured: a cheerful no-frills experience, but not quite as shabby and basic as a Ryanair flight. Ticks all the basic boxes but gives you nothing extra. So no tea-making facilities in room. No wardrobe. Small shower, no bath (but plenty of warm water and good pressure). 10m^2 of space includes bathroom, so little more than a bare minimum of space. No space to swing a cat... but I would stay again. For one night or two it is unbeatable in price and comfort. Plus location in the heart of Summertown is actually lovely. I'd recommend that over other budget hotels that are further away from town. Remarkably quiet and yet in a lively area with shops and amenities. Friendly staff. A bit concerned about the card-lock situation. As a solo female I prefer hotel rooms with safety latches, you never know!
