History

The “Hall of the Queen’s Scholars at Oxford” was founded in 1341 by Robert de Eglesfield, a chaplain in the household of Queen Philippa, who named it in her honour. He envisaged an establishment of fellows, chaplains, ‘poor boys’ and various officials and servants, headed by a Provost. Membership was to be open, but with a preference for inhabitants of Cumberland and Westmorland. Parts of the current College date back to the 17th century and replace the earlier medieval College buildings that had fallen into disrepair in the 16th century. The College is one of the oldest constituent Colleges of the University of Oxford.

Many of the original statutes for the College are still followed today, including such traditional observances as the summoning of the Members of the College to dinner by a trumpet call. Throughout the year the College observes feasts of the Church, including the All Saints’ Gaudy on All Saints' Day, the famous Boar’s Head Gaudy just before Christmas and the Needle and Thread Gaudy shortly after New Year’s Day.

Food & beverage

Prices include breakfast in the Hall in Main College, with a wide variety of full English and Continental options. This is a self service meal. Please check breakfast times with the Lodge when you check in, as times do vary.

Staff helpful and friendly on arrival. Large and spacious top floor room with ensuite in the beautiful main college building located right next to the city centre. Very quiet at night and comfortable bed. They had a large choice of food and drink options on offer for breakfast in the hall. Has a few places you can look around inside inculding some nice open spaces/gardens. Very good value compared to hotels stayed a previously, intend to stay again in the future if rooms are available.

The room was on the small side but clean, warm, quiet and comfortable, with a modern en-suite bathroom. There was no TV but I had expected this so had loaded some programs on my iPad. There was a good quality breakfast with a big range of options. Queen’s College is very centrally located for the main sights of Oxford. Overall I would recommend staying.

Porters were super helpful and very polite. Breakfast catered for vegans very well. Coffee wasn’t to our liking but may be good for others Room was very clean and great for what we needed Would have been nice to have had the small cartons of soya milk like in breakfast in room for vegans. Otherwise perfect and great location
LauraG

Room was pleasant with a nice view over the quad. The clock chime runs all night chiming every 15 minutes so if you are a light sleeper this may be an issue. Breakfast was buffet style with good choices.
PaulS

Lovely experience to stay in beautiful College surroundings, although the room was a little dated and odd (a piano, strange position to boil kettle!) and eat in Hall. Staff were polite and charming.
JoannaB

Nice sized room with a lovely view. I couldn’t get the hot water to work in the shower but had nice quick showers as a result. I really enjoyed seeing the chapel and hall at Queen’s College.

Great experience. The porters and breakfast staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Queen's.
