In a religious institution one expects austere small rooms, but not such a capacious desk and so much light. A perfect place to stay for a week (if you can get up and down stairs), with ample storage in sensible en-suite including kettle and shower, decent communal breakfast in hall, all an easy walk (or bus ride) from Oxford libraries. There's no porter or reception: check-in envelope only, but plenty of morning staff - after phoning was I kindly let in to retrieve personal items from a drawer.

Loved it! Quiet & peaceful; friendly atmosphere; room had everything I needed and the air was clean; room service/housekeeping lady was nice. Recommended!

A nice room in a convenient location. The window for breakfast was a bid restrictive and a few more breakfast choices such as eggs would have been nice.

Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Simple, fine, breakfast in the canteen. Very convenient location. An overall very positive experience.
