Magdalen College, Oxford

University residence

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 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 are unable to provide parking at the College.


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

Check out: 10:00 (10:00am) - 10:30 (10:30am)

Great location for quintessential Oxford experience. Wonderful rooms overlooking the Oxford Botanic Garden. The Porters were most helpful and amiable. And the cleaning ladies were extraordinary — going above and beyond — including providing pans so I could use the kitchen in my room. My room i...

If you go into the reservation recognising that this is essentially a hostel, the experience is no worse or better than expected. All star ratings I gave are based on matching expectations to reality. If you are looking for lusury, privacy, etc., look elsewhere. Otherwise, if you just need a reas...

This was a lovely experience. I am a visiting Academic at Oxford and this is the third College that I have stayed in. I was allocated rooms in the Professors House and they looked onto the botanical gardens. At times this meant that people walked right past my windows but on the whole it was a gl...

Everything was perfect — from the welcome by the porters to my room overlooking the Cherwell. I was looking for an affordable option for my short course in Oxford and this was ideal. I really enjoyed staying in student halls while I was in town studying. Thank you!
