central stay, simple pleasures

central locationgood breakfastnice deskopen window
I loved the central location. It made exploring easy. breakfast was really good with many options. the room was quite nice. I especially liked the desk. i had to keep the window open at night, though, because there was no a/c.
The heating system made a loud buzzing noise early in the morning. it sounded like a fire alarm. I had to fiddle with the thermostat to stop it.

big hallblocked sinkloud buzzing
the breakfast in the big hall of the college was acceptable.
the sink was blocked, and despite complaining, it remained blocked the next day. even worse, the heating system activated at 6am with a terrifying, loud buzzing sound. this noise reminded me of a fire alarm inside my room. i also received a £70 fine because there is no parking.

The location was great. It made getting around easy. The breakfast in the hall was a nice experience (I especially liked the pastries). The staff was friendly and helpful.
The roadside room had poor insulation. I found the traffic noise unacceptable. There was no mini bar. There was also no room service.

Wonderful Stay Inside College Grounds

lovely viewgreat breakfastsuper clean room
I found the walk through the college grounds to the breakfast hall very enjoyable. The breakfast itself was great and had a lovely view of First Court. I visited the Chapel. It is well worth seeing. The room was super clean and displayed framed photos of college life.
The experience felt slightly basic as it is not a traditional hotel.
