A fun place to stay! Very Central, The rooms very clean, but of course old. You can hear The neighbours, and late arrivals will keep you awake. BUT would definitely stay there again 😃

All the stars go to the dining room. I didn't expect it and I felt like I was in a Harry Potter movie. Incredible! The place is very nice, you can rest very well and the bathrooms were always super clean (I had a shared bathroom). A very good experience.

A wonderful location and a lovely room. The room was sparse but one has to expect that as the rooms are aimed at students. The staff were helpful, pleasant and helpful. My only gripe was the buffet breakfast. The food was lukewarm at best no matter what time one arrived in ghe dining hall. This was not helped with plates being stone cold. The coffee too was not hot. Overall still worth a score of five stars.

I was accommodated at Wadham by my employer for six weeks as a teacher in a summer school. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. The accommodation - in a single student room - was modern, comfortable and very clean.  …

Absolutely recommend staying here whenever rooms are available. Booked online and had a really good experience. Smooth checkin, friendly people all around, room was massively sized and adequately furnished- the view and grounds more than exceeded expectations. Sumptuous vegan friendly breakfast in a grand dining hall. Quiet, inclusive chapel with great accessibility.
