This is actually a student hostel. I rented a room here during summer holiday break when the students are away and the rooms are opened for short term rental. The room is very small and basic, typical of a student's room with study table , chair and wardrobe. No attached bathroom but common sharing bathroom. The room is comfortable, and the breakfast was fantastic at the beautiful dining hall. This is the cheaper option for accommodation at Oxford. You can also experience staying at the student hostel here.
