Overview

The river Cherwell runs through Magdalen's grounds which include over 100 acres of parkland - a beautiful and tranquil area in the heart of the city. Along with the magnificent cloisters, deer park and quads with formal lawns and borders. They claim to be the most beautiful college in Oxford which are not without foundation.

The College offers rooms on its main site but also rooms in their Waynflete Building across Magdalen Bridge, with stunning views of the College. In this building, modest rates do not include breakfast. Whichever Magdalen accommodation you choose to book, you can be sure of a warm welcome at the Porters' Lodge, from one of the property's student staff or the porters themselves. One of them will show you to your room and answer any queries you may have. You will also have free access to the College main grounds.

Important notice: There are no passenger lifts in the accommodation buildings, and there is no parking at the College but there is chargeable public parking nearby.

Check in: 14:00 (2:00pm) - 23:00 (11:00pm) (no arrivals allowed outside this window)

Check out: 10:00 (10:00am) - 10:30 (10:30am)

This is very basic accommodation but fine for the price. Shared toilet/shower along the corridor, kettle and coffee in the room. Highlight was "bottomless" breakfast in hall and a stroll around the college, which is undeniably beautiful. Staff very pleasant and helpful. I'd definitely do this again for a one-night visit.

Loved the rooms. The porters provided clear instructions. The only negative was housekeeping insisted on changing the mattress in the single 'within walls' room at 9.00 in the morning- it's ok to disturb students during term time but paying guests should be left alone!

We were disposed to be delighted by the college buildings and were not disappointed. Spacious rooms, with new mattresses and armchairs arriving on the second day!! Luxury breakfast: all the cooked bits and...pain au choco and lemon posset, wow. Well done.

very pleasant experience, porter staff was super friendly, room was spacious and clean, the grounds are beautiful and great location! Bathrooms would benefit from an update, though they were clean and good enough

The guys at the Lodge were lovely. The room is well located. Basic but clean and well maontained. Comfortable bed. Hot water in the shower. I was visiting a friend + ot was just perfect.

It was fine for a cheap place to sleep. The porters were very helpful and efficient. Very basic rooms but that was all I needed. Very handy for the city centre and Cowley Road.

Perhaps the facilities could be updated a little, but great value for money, had everything I needed and both the porters and housekeeping staff were all lovely
