History

Wycliffe Hall was founded in 1877 as a place to train evangelical clergy in the Church of England, and has since then expanded to take any student of theology. It started in the main part of the current building (54 Banbury Road), expanding to 52 Banbury Road, which was originally a convent, in 1883. The Chapel was added to connect the two houses in 1896 and is noted for its architecture and interior panelling. Other rooms have been added over time, including a dining room (now lecture room) in the style of a chapel in 1910.

Food & beverage

Breakfast is served in the hall and is included in the B&B overnight rate (unless specifically mentioned otherwise). A Continental breakfast is served most mornings, including a selection of cereals, toast, yoghurt, cold meat, cheese, pastries, fruit juice and hot drinks. On Fridays, a cooked breakfast is served instead of a Continental breakfast. Please advise at the time of booking if you have any special dietary requirements.

During the term, breakfast is served at:

7:15 - 8:15am Monday to Friday
8:30 - 10:00am Saturday to Sunday

In vacations, breakfast is served at:

7:30 - 9:00am Monday to Friday
8:30 - 10:00am Saturday to Sunday

Grounds & Gardens

Wycliffe Hall has a private garden, complete with garden furniture in the summer months. There is a children's play area, which guests with small children are welcome to use.

The University Parks are a short stroll from Wycliffe Hall, with the North entrance located just across the road from the Hall.

Very good value for a room so close to the centre of Oxford. The room is basic but the bed very comfortable - there is a basin in the room but the bathroom is in the corridor. Welcome was very warm. My room was 4 floors above the reception area. Breakfast was good - I didn't have the Full English...

A great experience. Great central location. The food at breakfast was excellent (full English, which I was not expecting!) in a lovely calm dining room. The check-in was excellent. I really appreciated their flexibility about parking. Only downside was shared bathroom on corridor and only 2 loos...

Everything was fine, and the lady on reception could not have been more helpful. Breakfast suited me and the company was friendly and interesting. I enjoyed my stay and I'd go again.

For £54, you get free parking, a good breakfast, and a room for the night. This is excellent value for money. Thank you to all the staff at Wycliffe for making this possible.

We had a great stay- a fairly no-frills student room experience, but fantastic price and location. Sebastian couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming - thank you.

Great cheap accommodation, room was clean and had kettle. Breakfast wasn't the best. But overall decent for price.
