Overview

The Liddell Building, an annexe of Christ Church, offers self-catering accommodation in a quiet location in East Oxford, approximately a five-minute walk from amenities and a fifteen-minute walk from the main site. It's also only just a nine minute walk from O2 Academy Oxford, making this the perfect affordable accommodation option for a night enjoying your favourite band. Comfortable and spacious single standard rooms are available in 3 or 4-bedroom flats with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities (all guests must be over 18 no refund if the requirements are not met).

The college is unable to accept bookings for Stag and Hen groups and can only accommodate adults (aged 18 and over), and does not permit babies/children sharing a room with adults. All occupants must be over 18. If such a booking is made, you will be asked to cancel it. The refund amount will be in line with T&Cs, or if you arrive at the property, you will be refused entry and no refund will be given. They also do not permit guests to bring in visitors to the College.


History

The Liddell Building was designed as a single quad and opened in 1991, as a joint development between Christ Church and Corpus Christi College.

Food & beverage

The accommodation is self-catering; each flat has a shared kitchen with a dining space. Basic utensils, crockery, microwave and refrigerator as well as tea and coffee-making facilities are provided.

Breakfast tickets:

We appreciated the staff at the lodges, in the great hall and throughout the facility. Check in was very easy, all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. As we were staying as a family, we were able to prop open our bedroom doors using the chairs which allowed a nice cross breeze in the heat and cooled the unit down so we were able to be comfortable and sleep at night. One suggestion would be to provide door stops for all the doors to make propping them open easier in the summer.

Oxford is a wonderful city and the Liddell Building is very well situated. We really enjoyed our stay. The gate persons were wonderful. Great experience overall. You must know this however: no air conditionning (but a fan), you have to walk a fair distance (15-20 minutes) to get to the beautiful hall were breakfast is served, breakfast is served till 9h00 am sharp (and it's delicious). Finally, if you call a taxi, call an hour ahead! That's the time it took for ours to arrive.

I had a wonderful stay at the Liddell building of the University of Oxford. The rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast at Christ Church’s great hall was a wonderful experience. I had a close and easy walk to the city center and many attractions. I would definitely stay at the Liddell building again.
