Did not stay in Alcuin College - the booking was changed to Vanbrugh College. The mattress on the bed was awful. You could feel the springs. I was glad it was only one night. The en-suite was ridiculous. The shower space as so tiny the shower curtain stuck to you the whole time you showered. Totally impractical and not fit for purpose. However, the room, towels and bed linen were spotlessly clean.

The helpfulness and cheerfulness of staff, particularly at the Porter's Lodge and in the catering team, are to be commended, our group met with nothing but pleasant, helpful people all weekend. The cleanliness of rooms and common areas was also of a standard higher than I've found in similar university accommodation.

Really enjoyed my recent stay. Staff friendly and helpful. Only thing that could be improved on would be by proving something to dry the bathroom floor. It tended to stay very wet for hours after using the shower. Perhaps a rubber sweeping brush to brush the water back towards the drain?

Good value for money basic room en suite food in cafe was breakfast good choice and it didn't cost the earth so good for us backgammon players tournament as we were out playing most of the time.. didn't need a TV in the room just a kettle was fine.

This is very basic accommodation but you get what you pay for. It was clean and the catering was very good for the value. Great if you just need somewhere to sleep.
