Amazing stay, friendly reception from all staff. All you need in rooms for a night stay toiletries and coffee & tea facility in room and fridge. For the price you do get to roam freely around the whole area, albeit some places are private and was so good after all the tourists have gone really peaceful. Did miss out on seeing the inside of cathedral due it being used for functions. Masters garden was a lovely oasis. Beautiful wonderful smelling flowers. The Main hall and staircase was of the the real attraction, amazing to see all the historical adorned portraits. Imagination of what the past would have been like. Breakfast was full on fresh and tasty. We had a grt time here.

I really enjoyed my stay at Christ Church, as it gave me the opportunity to experience both the history of the place, as well as imagine what it's like to be a student there.
Highly recommended for anybody who's considering it!

That's been an amazing experience, I really suggest to stay in their rooms. The room was well cleaned, had everything you need for your staying (towels,shower cream, conditioner hair dryer etc.) The breakfast was very nice, there is the usual English breakfast and also such a good croissants. The location is something you can't describe especially for Harry Potter fans, i a must I'd say.

For the first night, I hurriedly stayed in a student dormitory because the guest rooms were full. You may feel like a student, but to be honest, I don't recommend this room. The guest room I stayed in the next day had a bathroom, and unlike a student dormitory, it was spacious, nicely decorated, and comfortable. Breakfast is served in the famous Great Hall. The huge croissants are very delicious. On the first night, a university professor from Europe sat next to me, and on the second night, a graduate of this university sat next to me and we talked about the British royal family. You can enjoy it if you know the history of England and the history of the Japanese imperial family!

Some men working at the reception were the rudest I’ve ever seen.

My wife and I stayed at Christchurch Guest Rooms and enjoyed it thoroughly. The rooms are clean and well kept, and the staff are helpful. It's perfectly located in the heart of Oxford, within walking distance of all the major attractions. Would definitely recommend - you get to have breakfast in the Great Hall.

This was a really cool experience and reasonably priced, I’d highly recommend especially if you love Harry Potter. Just wish the bed was more comfy
