Charmant in jeder Beziehung!
Pros:

Großartiges Ambiente! Aufwachen mit dem Sonnenaufgang auf den viktorianischen Gebäuden. Im Club bis 23:00 Ausschank (Last Order 22:45). Brauchbar sortiert bei Bier, Gin und Whisky. Exzellentes Britisch & Continental Breakfast. Teilnahme am Dinner möglich. Sehr gutes Essen zum Mensapreis. Der Porter und seine Kollegen waren überaus hilfsbereit und freundlich.

Pros:

La disponibilità alla reception, aperta h24. Stanza abbastanza spaziosa. Suggestivo fare colazione nella hall antica del college.

Cons:

La camera è più adatta allo studio che ad altro. La stanza è poco illuminata, tranne la scrivania. Il materasso era infossato, la pulizia migliorabile. La colazione era inclusa, ma alcune cose erano da pagare a parte. Distante 10/15 minuti a piedi dal centro.

Alojamiento en un college
Pros:

La magia de alojarse en un college, relativamente cerca del centro histórico, habitación amplia, personal muy amable y un excelente desayuno.

Cons:

Las camas obviamente no son de hotel y por lo tanto no tan cómodas, pero por una noche para nosotros estuvo bien.
