As tourists fascinated with the grandeur and prestige of the great collegial city of Oxford we were really pleased with our stay. We got to enjoy staying in a room that was spacious, clean with a great view on the college grounds. The breakfast in the great hall was a bit disappointing but the hall was magnificent. We were very... More

Everything previous reviewers have said about staying at Keble college is true: The rooms and ensuites as so spotlessly clean that they look brand new. It is great to be able to enjoy the beauty and atmosphere of a college at Oxford. However: Being very tired after a full day of sightseeing in Oxford I was looking forward to a... More

The room was very clean and roomy and came with a wonderful view. The en suite bathroom was spacious and well maintained. The large desk beckoned me to use it to read my book but sadly, the wifi for my computer would not function. I wish the bathroom came with a hair dryer but there was one at the office... More

The rather spartan room was sizeable and clean and suited our needs perfectly. The water pressure in the shower was good and we found it to be the best shower of our whole visit to England. Fresh towels were supplied daily. The surroundings are lovely and it was nice to wander around and explore. Breakfast in the Great Hall is... More

As our preferred motel was extremely expensive, we looked around for something better and found Keble College. What a lovely way to experience Oxford. Rooms, though not luxurious - they are, after all, student accommodation - were quite comfortable and clean. [But there are no lifts in this old building to accommodate heavy luggage!] Dinner was not served the evening... More

Lovely campus! Easy walk to town center. Spartan, small rooms are adequate for a short visit to Oxford. A bit pricey for what you get, though. Use caution, some of the rooms can be quite noisy, some are up 4 flight of stairs, etc. Some staff were very helpful, others not so much. No wi-fi in the rooms. Food in... More

The buildings and quadrangle at Keble College are very beautiful, with patterns built into the red brick buildings. This is quite unusual. So you get to wake up and see the beautiful grounds. As others have stated, the main attraction is having breakfast at the Great Hall, Harry Potter style. Indeed the hall is very atmospheric. The food is average.... More

Stayed here for 4 nights. Location is good just a 5 minute walk from the Kings Arms pub which was lovely. It's a beautiful place to stay, breakfast in the great hall was an interesting experience, not the best quality food (poached eggs had obviously been made a bit earlier that morning) but the service was very good, and it...

The website makes it pretty clear that the standards of accommodation are those of a student hostel rather than a hotel, and as long as you go prepared for this, the rooms won't disappoint you. What might, however, is the food and the customer service. You will be sleeping in a room which is occupied for most of the year... More

I had a spotlessly clean and spacious room overlooking a wonderful large quadrangle. It was quiet and comfortable. The porter's lodge was welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was well cooked, hot and promptly served. The location of Keble is convenient. What more can one wish for? Certainly it was better than several colleges where I have been given a room... More
