Overview

Modern study bedrooms set in tranquil College grounds amidst iconic, modernist architecture. Large windows mostly overlook lawns, trees and open countryside.

St Catherine’s is conveniently located in a peaceful setting within the City of Oxford - just a short walk (less than 1 mile) from the City centre. The original College buildings are Grade 1 Listed and showcase Danish architect Arne Jacobsen’s iconic modernist design, echoing historic Oxford values but with a uniquely modern twist.

Guests are accommodated in simple, light and airy study bedrooms (which are occupied by students during term times). All rooms on offer are for single occupancy only and are basically but comfortably furnished and serviced daily. Rooms are not equipped to a five-star standard (NB: no TVs) but are provided with bed linen, towels, toiletries and tea & coffee making facilities. All ensuite bedrooms have their own private shower and toilet. A warm welcome awaits from St Catherine's Lodge Porters (manned 24/7). 

Please note: Hen or Stag Parties are not permitted out of respect for other guests. PARKING FACILITIES ARE UNFORTUNATELY NOT AVAILABLE.

Smoking: All rooms are non-smoking. The College is a no smoking site and so guests wishing to smoke must do so only in the designated exterior smoking areas only.

Booking cut-offs - please note that the College has strict booking cut-offs (usually 11am the working day before for weeknight booking and 11am on the Friday for weekend and Monday bookings). The College is unable to take any bookings after the online system has closed down.

Everything was in order, and everyone was very helpful, and the environment was quiet and tidy. I only had some problems acquainting myself with the place on the first couple of days (maybe some signs would help) but otherwise I was completely satisfied.

I had a very great stay. Whatever, the toilet was not cleaned very well. The scout seemed VERY stressed. Nevertheless, the scout person was very friendly. Amazing service in the dining hall!! Supergood food! Thank you for everything.

The booking process and check-in/check-out were very easy. The room was basic, but immaculately clean. Breakfast was good with both English breakfast fare as well as yogurt, fruit and granola.

Great breakfast, sufficient heating, hot water comes instantly for shower. The location on Google maps directed me to the construction site. It would be great to fix that.
