Customer feedback

Maureen Mei-Ling WONG (Keble College, August 2008): This is a very unique and valuable experience. I would definitely suggest my friends to try. The only suggestion I would like to make is that the choice of colleges is very limited. Please consider adding more colleges on the list.

jacqueline white (The Queen's College, August 2008): Room was very basic (no TV!) but very clean and provided great insight into life as a student at Oxford uni. Porters on duty were very friendly and went out their way to help with any problems.

jacqueline white (Walking Tour of Oxford University, August 2008): Excellant tour, great value for money, tour guide was informative, funny and helpful

LYNETTE COCKERELL (Keble College, August 2008): Great location and I would paas this accom on to friends thinking of staying in Oxford. Thanks!

Michael Carr (Keble College, August 2008): lovely setting, comfortable room

Patricia V Merrell (The Queen's College, August 2008): This was an "over the top" experience for us. Our rooms were in a small cottage in the Nun's Garden. Our breakfast was in the hisoric dining hall. the only reason I checked "good" rather than "excellent" for the standard of room is that this was student housing and a typical hotel. this stay will be a real hightlight of our 4 months in England. Thanks to all who make it possible

yvette smith (Keble College, August 2008): Amazing breakfast hall, a great selling point!

Catherine Skopic (Balliol College, August 2008): We were eceedingly pleased at the welcoming of the porter, the beauty of the site with its convenient location, the pleasantness and expansiveness of our rooms with desk and complimentary toiltries gift, the awesome traditional dining hall and absolutely delicious brreakfast! buffet! The intellectuality is pervasive! I highly recommend this college for a more than satisfying stay in Oxford! THANK YOU!!!

VERRIER Francois (Keble College, August 2008): Endroit magnifique, très bon souvenir de ce séjour à Keble College.

Stella Kwan (Keble College, August 2008): Location's perfect. Room's clean. Would stay again.

Jacqueline Rayner (Keble College, August 2008): My brother and sister-in-law and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Keble College, so much so that I hope to come again quite soon with a friend. I highly recommend it.

Nisavanh (Keble College, August 2008): Really enjoyed my stay there and will definitely come back here !

Linda Erith (Keble College, August 2008): We had a very enjoyable weekend at the college. I've stayed in student accomodation many times and I always think it repesents good value for money. i.e. a clean bed to sleep in and a good cooked breakfast.

Angela Thurstance (The Queen's College, August 2008): I was very impressed with the quality of accommodation. The location was excellent. The porter was extremely helpful.

R Gartside (The Queen's College, August 2008): The friendliness of all staff was very welcome, the standard of the room was far, far higher than in my undergraduate days (in the 1950s), and breakfast was exemplary. All in all, a very acceptable experience and better than some 'boutique' hotels of our acquaintance.

margaret gilbert (The Queen's College, August 2008): I could move in tomorrow. Loved my room on the High. A lovely experience for all my family who stayed.

Pauline Cairncross (Keble College, August 2008): I would happily recommend this accommodation to my friends.

Neville Holyoake (St Hugh's College, August 2008): Staff all very nice, especially the cleaners.

Elisabet Vilahur Garcia (Keble College, August 2008): I love the place, and I'll come back and recomend it.

Mrs. G. Johnston (The Queen's College, August 2008): I really enjoyed my stay in the centre of Oxford, My room was comfortable and breakfast in the college was great, only problem: I had a fridge next to my bed which was very noisy and kept me awake!

Christine Mortimer (Balliol College, August 2008): The room was great, service both in booking and at the college excellent. The room was good, the breakfast excellent.the only thing missing was a kettle. The really nice touch was a selection of books (and good books at that) to read in the evening. I will be staying again to do some research next year.

John Paul Maytum (Keble College, July 2008): Brilliant - I'd thoroughly recommend this to anyone. Not only is it great value accomodation in the centre of Oxford, but you really capture the Oxford spirit this way.

Lusine Mailyan (Keble College, July 2008): The staff at Kebble is very pleasant.

Mahalah Nice (Keble College, July 2008): Beautiful view of the court yard!

Philip Shingler (Keble College, July 2008): Overall happy with the service, are there family rooms as I might bring my wife and two children next year?

Claire Evans (Keble College, July 2008): Really enjoyed stay. Great breakfast! Will def stay again.

Dr. Helen H. Cole (Keble College, July 2008): The staff at the porter's lodge was most helpful in sharing information to answer our many questions, especially Jason who is no longer there and the one female that was so charming and forthright in searching for what we needed.

Caroline Wright (Keble College, July 2008): The staff in the porters lodge were particularly helpful and friendly.

Robin Forrest (Keble College, July 2008): Excellent service, the porters were unfailingly helpful, the food was ok bearing in mind the large numbers, the room clean, generally wonderful, and see you next year!....

Peggy D. Quarles (Keble College, July 2008): It was wonderful. Staying in one of the Oxford University Colleges is the best of the best. Kebel was the best.

Mrs R Prescott (St Hugh's College, July 2008): I can't work out whether the first circle is excellent or the last circle: to clarify I found the website, service, breakfast and overall experience excellent. I would definitely consider booking a college room via the wbsite again. All the staff I met were very helpful and friendly and I would recommend the service to friends, family and colleagues.

Keree Louise Casey (Balliol College, July 2008): Putting check in time in information would be helpful. I had a fantastic time!!

Roberta L. Dougherty (Balliol College, July 2008): I wish I'd known about this years ago; I will definitely recommend this to all friends visiting the UK. It was wonderful to experience an Oxford college from the inside & to have the run of the place during my stay. Breakfast in the college's hall was fun & I met some very interesting people at the table. The room is not fancy (it's just an undergrad dorm room) but it was perfectly adequate & there were even toiletries provided, which I didn't expect! The location couldn't be beat, right in the heart of town. A great experience!

Lesley Wood (Balliol College, July 2008): The porter was very pleasant. The room is obviously as it is because it is a student room, but it would be nice to have tea-making facilties. Otherwise, it is very good value for anyone wanting a room in central Oxford.

Lea Karnatz (Keble College, July 2008): it was a wonderful experience to stay in one of oxford's colleges. a fantastic idea for all kinds of visitors! a real joy!

W S G Mitchell (Balliol College, July 2008): A most agreeable alternative to standard budget hotel B&B, and right in the heart of the city.

Christa Koenen (Keble College, July 2008): Very lovely college and great experience. The newly renovated rooms in the old tract are obviously nicer than the ones in the new tract. Especially as they have a fridge, look nicer and have a nicer, non-"flooding" bathroom.

Sharon Haydon (Keble College, July 2008): Very enjoyable stay, only wish we could have stayed longer!

Zhenyu Huang (Keble College, July 2008): To live in the Oxford university gives me a very good feeling.

Dawn Patrick-Brown (Keble College, July 2008): Fantastic staff. Great rooms. Thanks!! =)

Waseem Farooq (Balliol College, July 2008): Overall experience was good. Would recommend.

Mrs Vivien Ruddock (Keble College, July 2008): I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Thank you

gerard traynor (Keble College, July 2008): VERY NICE STAY, STAFF SO FRIENDLY, GOD BLESS, GERRY, MAURA.

Mary-Anne Piggott (Keble College, July 2008): This is the second time I have stayed at Keeble. It was excellent.

Carl Phelpstead (Keble College, July 2008): Porters were very helpful indeed, but I felt the staff at breakfast could have been more proactive, rather than standing around waiting to be asked things. All in all an enjoyable experience.

Tim Harrison (Keble College, July 2008): Will definitely use this service again - no complaints at all!

beryl graham (St Hugh's College, July 2008): Good to be able to park a car withen easy walking distance of the city. Staff very helpful.

Seyed Alireza Vousough Hosseini (Keble College, July 2008): Very beautiful buildings. Fantastic breakfast hall! A uinque and unexpected experience for me! I'll recommend it to all my friends who are planning to visit in Oxford. Thanks!

Jill Lawrence (Balliol College, July 2008): Thank you.....lovely central position too.

louise nicholson (Balliol College, July 2008): Easily the best way to stay in Oxford: central, and in an historic building. Thank you for arranging it so efficiently.

Ross Pratt (Balliol College, July 2008): I really enjoyed my stay there. I have never had an experience of staying at a College, right in Oxford. I managed to enjoy my stay and the tourism of the City.

Jane Rockel (The Queen's College, July 2008): The room was very good. You could provide larger instructions about timings for meals. We had an envelope with a very small note which we didn't really notice - we only just got to breakfast on time. This sort of detail should be made much more apparent - both in the information and in the room as we could have missed it altogether. Other than that it was good - the room was clean and the beds comfortable.

Lissa Paul (Keble College, July 2008): I was very grateful for the opportunity to stay at Keble--especially as I was doing research at the Bodleian. As a college room, it was terrific and I'd stay again. I would, however, have been grateful for wireless internet access.

Keiko Nakao (Balliol College, July 2008): with many thanks!

Dr. Frances Wilkinson (Keble College, July 2008): The room was very comfortable. The staff in the front office were all extremely helpful. My only minor complaint was with breakfast - I felt the staff were trying to rush us out - hovering around and grabbing plates before one was finished eating. We were having an extemely pleasant chat with another guest over breakfast and felt we had to keep fending off the wait staff if we wanted to actually get to eat our breakfast. However, this small point aside, we greatly enjoyed our visit to Keeble.

Richard Atkins (Balliol College, July 2008): Can't quite remember the room number (ground floor stair 10) great to stay in such an historic environment and I am now deciding whether to tell all my friends or keep it secret so it is exclusively available to me. Either way the only downside were the "Student" quality showers, but after all it was "student" room rates!

Georgia Mouroutsou (Keble College, July 2008): that was a delight to stay at your College- Keble

John Cassidy (Keble College, July 2008): Very good location for seeing most of Oxford, people pleasant and helpful.

Carolynn Shipway (The Queen's College, July 2008): Tea and coffee facilities were a little scant- only 3 tea bags and 3 little tiny pots of milk. Also the kettle didn't fit under the tap for filling. Otherwise excellent.

Richard Oosterhoff (Balliol College, July 2008): Clean, conveniently located accommodations, with a hearty breakfast in the Great Hall! I'd certainly do it again.

Chris Flynn (Balliol College, July 2008): Just two small things. It would be good to include the Buttery on the map and if you could say the rooms will be available a little earlier than 2.00pm. But it was an excellent stay - all the staff from those in the porter's lodge to those doing the catering were very welcoming and helpful and it is lovely setting and wonderful to contemplate the great and the good that studied at the college. If there are such records it would interesting to know which rooms the more famous alumni occupied. It was lovely stay - thank you.

Wendy Robinson (Keble College, July 2008): We really enjoyed our visit. The college and it's gardens are beautiful and eating in the dining hall was a great experience. A little disappointed we weren't on one of the older quadrangles but understand that is just a case of availability. The room was clean and adequate if a little noisy as our neighbours were in and out a lot and we were also near the entrance door to the floor and the stairs. Also, we had less choice during breakfast the 2nd day, only white toast available and no danishes left, coffee was also cold, having a different choice of eggs (ie scrambled) would have meant I would have had the cooked breakfast - just little things which can make a big difference. I would definately use UniversityRooms again. Many thanks

Viswanath Seshamani (Keble College, July 2008): I came for my Dughter Divya's wedding held at the Keble Chapel on 12th July. With most of wedding guests housed in Keble it was very convienent & good. Rooms were good for the price & value for money. Breakfast was very good. Keble staff were friendly. Would be good for keble staff to check out the condition of rooms before guests occupy. For example our oom could not be locked from inside & keble staff could not fix it because they could not get someone to repair for 2 days.Otherwise great. We will certainly keep Keble as a 1st Option for stay next ound. Thank U.

Elaine Stroud (Keble College, July 2008): Great room with windows on 2 sides, and beautiful view. Very comfortable accommodations. I don't think there was anyone across the hall using the bathroom, so that was never a problem.

Judith Klem (Keble College, July 2008): I had a great experience staying at Keble College and would gladly stay there again, and also recommend it to my friends. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, and made my stay all the more enjoyable. One suggestion I have is to place a mirror in close proximity to where a hair dryer can be plugged in, as it's hard to style your hair when you can't see it! Thanks for contributing to a wonderful vacation! Judy Klem

Anjoum Noorani (Keble College, July 2008): Many thanks - a surprisingly professional service.

Jolyon Brewis (Keble College, July 2008): My only criticism is that 8 of us arrived on bikes. We asked the porters about secure bicycle parking, but were initially told we could only lock them on the street. Later we pressed the point and were told about a very good, large, secure bike park within the college grounds. It would have been nice if this could have been pointed out straight away. Otherwise excellent. Thanks very much.

J Joubert (Keble College, July 2008): Detailed instructions in the room about internet access would be helpful. Staff were very helpful, thank you. J.Joubert.

Reva Childs (Keble College, July 2008): loved it and would happily recommend it to anyone

priya shah (Keble College, July 2008): Thank you so much fo putting us all in the same area. We all thoroughly enjooyed our stay!

Rob Versteeg (Keble College, July 2008): The standard of the room and facilities is average, but the environment and atmosphere more than compensate for this. For us it was a rather unique experience, nothing like any standard hotel. We stayed in the old part, so I cannot speak for the newer rooms. The "dining room" is so stunning, you almost forget you tast your breakfast! I will certainly recommend you to others.

Paul Tam (Keble College, July 2008): My stay was very enjoyable. The only minor hitch was the key to the room I was first allocated didn't work and I had to return to the Porter's lodge 3 times to seek help. The porter on duty was extremely helpful though. Finally i was allocated another room and everything else was fine. Staying at the college made the trip to Oxford extra special. Breakfast in the dining hall was great.

Wendy Fraser (Keble College, July 2008): I was impressed with the quality of the room. I loved every minute of being inside a building with such beautiful architecture. Much better than a hotel. There was a very useful fridge inside a cupboard in my room, too - a helpful facility for cooling food and drinks bought outside and a brilliant practical idea. Warmed plates would keep the cooked breakfast from cooling down too quickly. A small box of paper tissues in the room would also be helpful.

Amelita Dolorico (Keble College, June 2008): It was interesting to have the experience of living in one of the colleges. I would enjoy going to a different one next time just for variety.

Katie Mills (Keble College, June 2008): Great find

Aino Rinhaug (Keble College, June 2008): Dear Keble College staff, I really enjoyed my stay with you and will recommend it to anyone who plans to go and visit Oxford!

Mary-Anne Piggott (Keble College, June 2008): Absolutely excellent

Dr Lisa Harrison (Keble College, June 2008): compared to hotel costs we found staying in Keble College very reasonable. The rooms were of a high standard and the breakfasts were great. You might want to think about putting together little info packs for visitors of what to do and any offers

Keiko NAKAJIMA (Keble College, June 2008): The room was clean and quiet, yet the college was very conveniently located for visiting Oxford. It was great to have a gimpse of the student life at the college.

Richard L. Rosen (Keble College, June 2008): The room and Keble College were beautiful! I would recommend University Rooms to another american graduate student visiting Oxford. This was a great opportunity to experience a stay at an Oxford college, and was one of the highlights of my program of study in England. Thank you. - Mr. Rosen

Melissa Bonnefin (Keble College, June 2008): I had a very enjoyable time at Keble College and in Oxford and I look forward to visting and staying again in the future.

Sue Cranmer (Keble College, June 2008): More options for a vegetarian breakfast would be good. And my fridge was broken. However, great value for money and a wonderful setting.

Carl Pedersen (Keble College, June 2008): I really enjoyed the room and college and plan to stay at Keble College next time I'm in Oxford. cheers, Carl

Sue Greenall (Keble College, May 2008): I will certainly use this service again, I thought it was excellent. Many thanks, Sue Greenall

sarah pickard (Keble College, May 2008): Staying at Keble was a lovely experience. It is a shame that dinner is not possible during term time.

Tim Hersey (Keble College, April 2008): We booked 7 rooms and were very happy with our decision to stay at Keble college. The location is convenient for the city centre and for the science area where we were holding our conference. We would definitely stay again.

Sue Cranmer (Keble College, April 2008): I was a real pleasure to stay at Keble.

Mr J P Lawson (Keble College, April 2008): Very quiet, good security, excellent standard of room----most civilized.

Marc Boudreau (Keble College, April 2008): I had an enjoyable stay at the college. The breakfast was incredible!

Andrew Jepson (Keble College, April 2008): A very good alternative to hotel accommodation. Well done.

Alan Goldblatt (The Queen's College, April 2008): It was an experience of a lifetime to stay in an Oxford college quad.

p a johnson (Keble College, April 2008): What a wonderful place to stay and how blessed the students are to study in such surroundings. I loved the dining hall and the service was generally good.

Jean M Stipo (Keble College, April 2008): It was a beautiful setting and although I was only there for a couple of days , my experience in Oxford was fabulous! The breakfast was great, the dining hall stupendous and everyone was very helpful and kind. The room was comfortable, a little spartan esthetically speaking, but clean and suitable. While the room is a good value in pounds, I was ultimately paying in dollars, which doubled the cost. That was my problem, tho! Thank you, I'll be back soon! Jean

Jamie Peppitt (Keble College, April 2008): Exactly what I was looking for. Perfect. Thanks.

Claire Tomlinson (Keble College, April 2008): It was an excellent place to stay and we would definitely use the facility again. Thank you

Laura Wharton (The Queen's College, April 2008): Apart from the glorious buildings and landscaping, the staff of the college at which I stayed (Queens) left the most oustanding impression on me. Everyone with whom I was in contact, whether by e-mail, telephone, or in personal exchanges at the college, was exceedingly helpful, friendly, and nice. My thanks to all of them.

Lesley Ann Olden (Keble College, April 2008): Best way to see Oxford! We WILL do this again!

linda Cowden (Keble College, April 2008): I would never have been able to afford to come to England to see my son if it hadn't been for your service. I am so very grateful for the wonderful room and service I experienced at Keble College. Everyone went above and beyond the call of duty to make me feel safe and welcome. The whole experience was absolutely wonderful! thank you so much!! Linda

A.David Lawrence (The Queen's College, April 2008): very friendly and helpful staff fantasatic surrounding very conveniently located stayed in QLQ bathroom- modern clean but incredibly small even for an average sized chap like myself cheers

Dr Justin E Molloy (Keble College, April 2008): Very pleasant stay, room was very nice and food excellent. Staff were very helpful.
