Overview

The Queen’s College Oxford is delighted to offer student en suite study bedrooms in both the Palladian-style buildings as well as in the refurbished modern annexe Carrodus Quad, both situated prominently on the historic High Street in the centre of Oxford.

All rooms have tea and coffee making facilities, refrigerators, bed linen, towels and complimentary toiletries, and are serviced daily by their friendly housekeeping staff, the Scouts. There are no lifts in the Main College and ground floor rooms are limited. The rooms in Carrodus Quad are however serviced by a lift.

Please state any access requirements or rooming preferences at the time of booking; please be aware however that it cannot be guaranteed whether accommodation is located in Main College or Carrodus Quad. It is only possible to facilitate room changes after arrival in the case of any room or equipment defects.

Regrettably, the College and its environment are not suitable for children, and therefore residents are required to be over 18 years. Stag & Hen parties are also not permitted.

Queen’s has featured in the film The Golden Compass (the renamed Northern Lights, part of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy) and the popular TV programme Lewis.

History

The “Hall of the Queen’s Scholars at Oxford” was founded in 1341 by Robert de Eglesfield, a chaplain in the household of Queen Philippa, who named it in her honour. He envisaged an establishment of fellows, chaplains, ‘poor boys’ and various officials and servants, headed by a Provost. Membership was to be open, but with a preference for inhabitants of Cumberland and Westmorland. Parts of the current College date back to the 17th century and replace the earlier medieval College buildings that had fallen into disrepair in the 16th century. The College is one of the oldest constituent Colleges of the University of Oxford.

Many of the original statutes for the College are still followed today, including such traditional observances as the summoning of the Members of the College to dinner by a trumpet call. Throughout the year the College observes feasts of the Church, including the All Saints’ Gaudy on All Saints' Day, the famous Boar’s Head Gaudy just before Christmas and the Needle and Thread Gaudy shortly after New Year’s Day.

Food & beverage

Prices include breakfast in the Hall in Main College, with a wide variety of full English and Continental options. This is a self service meal. Please check breakfast times with the Lodge when you check in, as times do vary.

Grounds & Gardens

A number of beautiful parks and grounds are located within easy walking distance from Queen's, including University Parks, the Botanic Gardens and Christ Church meadow.

Other facilities

All rooms have fridges, complimentary toiletries and tea and coffee making facilities. WiFi is available on The Cloud during your stay. 

There are self-service laundry/ironing facilities available in the college, which are payable online via an app. Information for payment and operating the machines is found in the laundry rooms, please ask the Lodge for directions.

Hairdryers are available at the Lodge, a £20 deposit is required.

The room was on the small side but clean, warm, quiet and comfortable, with a modern en-suite bathroom. There was no TV but I had expected this so had loaded some programs on my iPad. There was a good quality breakfast with a big range of options. Queen’s College is very centrally located for the main sights of Oxford. Overall I would recommend staying.

A very enjoyable stay, thank you. The staff throughout the college were unfailingly helpful and friendly, and made our group feel very welcome. In the bedrooms an additional pillow would be welcome, along with a bottle of water, without which it is difficult to fill the kettle in the small sink.

I had a wonderful stay at Queen's College and would definitely return there. I loved the sense of being a student again and the location was really excellent. Your booking service was easy to navigate and excellent - thank you.

Nice sized room with a lovely view. I couldn’t get the hot water to work in the shower but had nice quick showers as a result. I really enjoyed seeing the chapel and hall at Queen’s College.
