I'd prefer it if Trinity stayed as a hidden secret, but everything was so good that I feel I have to leave feedback! I was at Trinity as an undergrad, so maybe I'm not impartial, but it is THE most beautiful college - in the best location - has the friendliest porters, and wonderful rooms. Everyone is so friendly. It's not so much a case of "nothing's too much trouble" - the staff actively want to do whatever they can to make your stay enjoyable. I loved it. Thank you.

Accommodations, while spartan, were clean, well maintained and quiet. Daily service was provided and the historic setting of staying in the midst of Oxford could not be replicated—it was priceless. The daily breakfast served in the Trinity College Dining Hall was generous, delicious and historic. Staff was helpful and friendly. Overall, an enjoyable and excellent experience, one I would recommend to friends.

Beautiful college grounds and buildings centrally located including full English breakfast. The Levine building is brand new and well designed, albeit requiring about half a dozen fob swipes for access to the room. The porters were friendly and helpful, as were all kitchen staff. College culture feels a nice amalgam of the 16th and 21st centuries. Highly recommended.

Room was clean spacious and modern, with ensuite bathroom and mini-fridge. Great experience to be living on college grounds. Dining hall unfortunately being renovated, breakfast as such was very nice. Staff very helpful and polite. Gardens lovely, central location. Highly recommended
