Pros:

Excellent price for being in center. No issues with shared bathroom. Highly recommended! Porters are true gentlemen

Cons:

Cobwebs. The room cleaning wasn't impeccable such as italian standards but it is understandable for being in a college. The bed, however, was very clean.

La ubicación es perfecta, y el College tiene mucha historia que se ve y se siente. Hace una linda experiencia, diferente y unica

El baño en el piso era compartido, con mujeres y hombres. Podría haber tenido una limpieza mas profunda.

Excellent. The staff are very helpful as well.
Pros:

It is close to the town centre and right on the Christ’s College campus. It is a very unique experience if you want experience what is like being a student studying here.

Cons:

The facilities are a little dated, but given the building’s history and intended purpose as student accommodation rather than a luxury hotel, this is not a drawback at all. In fact, it feels entirely appropriate and authentic to its setting. However, if you are looking for modern luxury furnishings and high-end amenities, this may not be the right choice for you.

In this heatwave, its difficult to keep cool without AC

Le séjour dans la ville a été super
Pros:

Le cadre était super. Par contre le lit, il faisait 133 cm pour deux personnes c’est un peu petit et ensuite le breakfast il se terminait à 9h30. Donc en se levant à 10h on a pas pu déjeuner.

Cons:

Les horaires du petit déjeuner, vous êtes en vacances on est pas obligé de se lever aux Aurore
