Thank you to Somerville College. It was a pleasure staying in the college. The Porters were so very kind and helpful - even walking me through the Quad on the first evening because it was a bit dark - they offered without my even asking. And providing prompt and courteous answers to any questions I had. Great room - everything worked and was practically organisedd

My stay was a positive experience. I had a nice, clean room and a bathroom. The college is close to the mathematical faculty and the city centre. At the lodge the people where friendly and helpful.

FilipB

Great classic Oxford room. The noise of the bin collection every morning at 5am is very disruptive. Mattress could definitely be improved.

Excellent - clean, warm and comfortable room - in a great central Oxford location - lovely manicured grounds within the College
