Easy to find and great location about a 30 minute walk from the train station. Quick and easy check in, staff very polite and helpful. The double room was very large and spacious with en suite facilities over looking the wonderful Quad, the room could possible do with an upgrade but then you would lose the charm of the building....

We stayed at Keble College (pronounced keeble, not kebble, as I found out later) for a single night in early September. We found the college easily (we walked from the train station; it takes about half an hour with bags) though finding the entrance was more challenging. It's on the east side, facing Parks road. Check in was a breeze;... More

Comfortable room in one of the most iconic locations. The buildings and grounds are just superb and breakfast in the Great Hall is unforgettable. Porters lodge and dining room staff very helpful. Pitts River museum just across the road and 5 mins walk to city centre. Superb

We stayed for three nights in a room on the first floor overlooking the magificent Liddon Quad and the College Chapel. This is part of the original college and was unique for its time because it was built of coloured bricks rather than Oxford stone. The room was large though sparsely furnished, befitting undergrad accommodation, with an ensuite. I half... More

My title says it all. Walking around the grounds and looking at the buildings and gardens, I felt like I was in a dream. We were there 4 nights, and it never got old. One night the chapel had a choir concert, and it elevated the dream to fantasy. Back to reality, however, I paid extra for a room with... More

We spent 2 nights in Keble, staying in one of the old wings overlooking the main quad. Accommoadtion in north Oxford is at a premium, and Keble was very convenient for the places we were visiting - it also seemed to be one of the few colleges to offer double or twin rooms with ensuite facilities.The room itself was basic...

We spent a very pleasant night in one of the Victorian quad-facing rooms of Keble College. The accomodation, being designed for undergraduates, was basic but comfortable and had an en-suite shower room. The view from the bedroom window was highlighted by the twin stained-glass windows of the library with Pusey quad to the left and Liddon quad to the right.... More

Other reviewers have commented, correctly, that the accommodation at Keble is basic; but it was designed for undergraduates, and with this in mind we were more than happy with what was offered for a two-night stay. Our room in the modern ARCO Building was clean, bright and warm, with adequate wardrobe space, and very comfortable twin beds. The toilet facilities... More

History, comfort, service and good food. Obviously the rooms are a little basic, but that is compensated by the cleanliness and friendliness of the room service. Grab a quadrant facing room and you can wake up, draw the curtains back and go back in time! Time travel is great it continues when you breakfast in the Victorian Refectory. The service... More
