Very comfortable and clean accommodation in a perfect location.
Pros:

Sarum College is in an excellent location overlooking the cathedral. The accommodation is basic but very clean and comfortable. An excellent breakfast is provided.

Cons:

The one thing we would have liked was a comfortable, lounge seating area. There was a common room with armchairs/sofas but it was quite dark and didn't seem to be used by guests.

Nicht zu empfehlen
Pros:

Lage direkt gegenüber der Kathedrale

Cons:

Enttäuschend - enge abgewohnte Zimmer mit Teppich im Bad??? - wurde wahrscheinlich seit der Gründung des Colleges nichts mehr investiert- sehr schlechtes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis- das geht auch anders - siehe Jesus College in Cambridge

sehr schön mit einem (kalten) Wermutstropfen
Pros:

Die ruhige Lage, das Ambiente im Bezirk der Kathedrale, die Zimmereinrichtung, die warmherzigen Menschen an der Rezeption

Cons:

Während meinem Aufenthalt gab es ein Problem mit dem Wasserboiler. Deshalb hatte ich kein warmes Wasser in der Dusche.

Good value for a very convenient location.
Pros:

The location in the city centre is very good. The breakfast was excellent: plenty of variety on offer.

Cons:

My fault was that I didn't pick up the fact that "bathroom" on booking.com means separate facilities (although they were right by the room I had. Sarum College had both separate and en-suite options.
