Overview

The river Cherwell runs through Magdalen's grounds which include over 100 acres of parkland - a beautiful and tranquil area in the heart of the city. Along with the magnificent cloisters, deer park and quads with formal lawns and borders. They claim to be the most beautiful college in Oxford which are not without foundation.

The College offers rooms on its main site but also rooms in their Waynflete Building across Magdalen Bridge, with stunning views of the College. In this building, modest rates do not include breakfast. Whichever Magdalen accommodation you choose to book, you can be sure of a warm welcome at the Porters' Lodge, from one of the property's student staff or the porters themselves. One of them will show you to your room and answer any queries you may have. You will also have free access to the College main grounds.

Important notice: There are no passenger lifts in the accommodation buildings, and there is no parking at the College but there is chargeable public parking nearby.

Check in: 14:00 (2:00pm) - 23:00 (11:00pm) (no arrivals allowed outside this window)

Check out: 10:00 (10:00am) - 10:00 (10:00am)

The room and bed were comfortable. The room was located next door to bathroom and shower, and it had a beautiful view over the college grounds. Breakfast in the college Hall had excellent selection, and was very tasty. My overall experience was very favourable. The room offered excellent value for money (even among other colleges at Oxford, where I also stayed on other nights during the same trip).

The staff at Magdalen College were brilliant, storing our luggage before we checked in, showing me where I could safely park my bicycle within the College and also sorting out a mix up with our booking (which was my mistake). They did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable and stress free. The rooms in Waynflete are basic but great value for a central Oxford location.

It was a very comfortable stay. I would recommend updating the booking site to note that not all rooms have laundry facilities.

Very easy to book, and friendly helpful check in. Altogether a good experience. Good value for being so central.
