History

St Edmund Hall is one of Oxford University's 37 Colleges.

The Tamesis Guest House was five houses that were originally called Magdalen Terrace, which was built by 1863 and was one of the earliest blocks of large houses to be built on the Iffley Road.

Purchased in the 1980s by St Edmund Hall, the Tamesis Guest House is used to house 3rd-year Students for nine months of the year. During the summer the College opens the Guest House to visitors from across the globe.

Food & beverage

Breakfast is not included and rooms are offered on a room only basis.

There is a great selection of eateries to cater for all tastes in Oxford with a wide variety of offerings within a few hundred metres of the Guest House on the High Street, Cowley Road and St Clements. Guests will find a QR code postcard in their room with more information.

Grounds & Gardens

Christ Church Meadow is a short walk away; the Meadow is a great place to relax. There is a lovely tree-lined walk down to the River Thames and there are lots of grass areas which would make an ideal spot for a picnic.

Tamesis Guest House suited my needed wonderfully for my short stay in Oxford. I spent most of my time out but found the room comfortable for sleeping. All my basic needs were met (hot water for tea, shower, hair dryer, etc.). Remember to bring a washcloth and shampoo and conditioner! Overall, great experience and great location for my needs! Would recommend for the value.

The staff were very friendly and looked after us particularly well. Breakfast was good, the room was clean and comfortable. A good place to stay for a couple of days, but might seem a bit far away from the centre of the city for a longer duration.

The location is very good. Our room was comfortable, clean and had the expected facilities, including coffee/tea. The booking was easy and services excellent.
