The porters and catering team were lovely, but room service was inconsistent. Used towels were sometimes folded and put back, and I had to ask the porters for clean ones. Tea, milk, and sugar were not replenished more than once, including from Friday to Monday; the porters could only help on one occasion. Despite the good variety of jams, there was no honey, a healthier option that would have suited both guests and the summer school children who were also housed in this College during my stay.

My room at St Anthony's College was ideal for someone looking to stay in the centre of Oxford on a modest budget. The lodge porters when I checked in and checked out were friendly and helpful. As one would expect from a student room, it was functional rather than luxurious, but clean, and provided with tea/coffee-making facilities, complimentary toiletries, and an ensuite bathroom. A decent breakfast was provided with cooked food available, as well as toast, croissants, and fruit.

Facilities in both rooms good, very happy with double bed in room 5 but uncomfortable single bed in room 7. Toilet flush problematic in both rooms, and toilet seat in room 7 didn’t fit bowl. Aside from these, friendly staff in lodge and at breakfast, and happy with value for money given excellent location.

I would have liked to have bathroom amenities everyday. I asked for them one day but there were just shampoo and a small soap bar. The rest of the stay was just perfect: people were nice and helpful. I really appreciate that.

When I arrived at the College they could find no trace of my booking, but luckily I had a print out of your booking confirmation email and they were able to give me an 'emergency' room in college - which was all fine
