Trinity es uno de los colegios más centrales de la universidad de Oxford y cuenta con una buena reputación con nuestros clientes. Se encuentra ubicado en un gran sitio con amplios jardines abiertos a los clientes y cuenta con una localización muy tranquilla.
Durante el curso académico, las habitaciones están ocupadas por los estudiantes. Cada una dispone de un lavabo y se proporcionan una pava eléctrica, nevera y teléfono operado por tarjetas telefónicas (estas se compran en la Porters’ Lodge), escritorio y lámpara. Los baños y duchas se encuentran en cada escalera, pero no necesariamente en el mismo piso que las habitaciones, y son de uso unisex, es decir a la vez para mujeres y hombres. En cada habitación se proporcionan toallas y jabón y los Scouts (ama de llaves) limpian las habitaciones diariamente en días laborables. Está a disposición también una lavandería con accesorios para planchar. Las lavadoras/secadoras se operan con una tarjeta que se compra en la Porters’ Lodge.
La escalera 6 del Front Quad en el Jackson Building fue recientemente renovada y ofrece habitaciones individuales y con cama matrimonial con baño completo, así como una habitación adaptada para sillas de ruedas. La escalera 5 en el Jackson Building ofrece habitaciones estándar con baño y ducha compartidos (no necesariamente en el mismo piso que las habitaciones).
En la escalera 14 disponemos también de tres Suites con un gran salón, una habitación doble con cama matrimonial y baño completo.
La edad mínima de los clientes es 21 años. Por desgracia la gran parte de nuestras habitaciones no son adapatadas para personas con problemas de mobilidad. Excepto en las dos zonas asignadas, está prohibido fumar en el colegio.
Historia
'The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity in the University of Oxford of the foundation of Thomas Pope” es uno de los colegios constitutivos de la universidad de Oxford y fue fundado en 1555. Se encuentra ubicado en el centro mismo de Broad Street, junto a la librería de Blackwell's y a la taberna preferida del personaje ficticio Inspector Morse, The White Horse. Está cerrada por puertas de hierro, por lo que cuenta con un aspecto abierto y accesible. El verde Front Quad lleva a tres otros Quads, grandes céspedes y jardines muy preciosos que comprenden una zona boscosa. A pesar de su tamaño impresionante, el colegio cuenta solo con unos 300 estudiantes. Existe también una legenda (errónea) que los Stuart Gates de Trinity no se abrirán antes de que no reine un Jacobito. La capilla fue la primera capilla de un colegio diseñada exclusivamente en el estilo neoclásico y se dice que Sir Christopher Wren ayudó en crearla, así como en crear el Garden Quad.
Entre los alumnos famosos son: Cardenal John Henry Newman; Lord Baltimore (fundador de la colonia de Maryland); Frederick, Lord North (primer ministro británico 1770-82); William Pitt, Conde de Chatham (primer ministro británico 1766-68); dramaturgo Sir Terence Rattigan; Stephen Lacey, presentador de jardineríá en la BBC.
Comidas y bebidas
Un desayuno inglés de self-service está incluido en el precio de la habitación. Se ofrece una buena gama de comidas calientes y frías y se sirve de 08.00 a 09.00 en nuestra Sala principal, situada en planta baja, que data del 1618 y cuenta con sillas de cuero y no bancos.
Durante el curso académico, los estudiantes y los Fellows disfrutan de una cena formal seis noches de la semana. Están obligados de llevar togas formales. Los Fellows cenan en la mesa de honor y un profesor bendice la mesa en latín.
Espacios verdes
Los huéspedes son libres de visitar nuestros amplis jardines. Se proporcionan sillas de jardín para relajarse, dependiente del tiempo.
Durante las vacaciones de Pascua, la parte selvática del jardín está repleta de miles de bulbos en flor.
Otras instalaciones
Los clientes pueden también visitar la capilla, que se considerara como una obra maestra de arquitectura barroca inglesa. Las estatuas en la torre se atribuyen a Caius Cibber y representan la geometría, la astronomía, la teología y la medicina. Como la primera capilla de Oxford que fue diseñada exclusivamente en principios clásicos, el edificio fue aclamado por contemporáneos como uno de los más magníficos de la universidad.
La tumba de Sir Thomas Pope, fundador de Trinity, se encuentra en esta capilla y es el único fundador de un colegio de Oxford que llegó a ser enterrado en su propio colegio.

Mrs Christine Wheeldon, abril 2012: What an experience - we loved it!
Mr Graham Gardiner, marzo 2012: the shared bathroom was a surprise. not a problem but just not what I was expecting.
Other than that I thought the whole experience was fantastic. Really great value for money.
Will definitely be using your site again.
Thanks
Graham
Ms Marisa Coetzee, marzo 2012: I really enjoyed the stay, especially the breakfasts and the beautiful gardens. My room was not part of the main college building, which was a bit disappointing, but staying in the college was nevertheless a memorable experience.
Mr Julian Smith, marzo 2012: I was in Oxford to pick-up a University award and booked two rooms in Trinity, which is just across the road from the Sheldonian Theatre. The rooms were a good size and had pleasant views of the impressive surroundings. The beds were comfortable, the showers powerful with plenty of hot water on demand, the breakfast was hearty and good in the rather fine college hall, and the porter's could not have been more helpful. So glad we did not stay at the Randolph, where we had an expensive and poor meal, and which smelt dirty.
Mrs Natalie Miller, marzo 2012: No hassle excellent service - I paid for and got a typical Oxford student room - much better standard than student rooms in many other universities
Mr Christian Weiss, marzo 2012: The friendly staff at the porters' lodge and in the kitchen are so wonderfully dedicated and charming, this just had to be said.
Mr David Reid, marzo 2012: Very nice experience, right in the heart of Oxford and a bit different from your average B&B
Mr Andreas Monies, marzo 2012: Very nice staff and I would definitely use this again.
Mr Stefan Benninger, septiembre 2011: staff at reception was very friendly. room was quite spacious and looked inviting. there were a lot of nice green areas and historic college buildings to discover outside. the location of the college is very convenient if travelling by coach.
Ms Nancy Kowalski, agosto 2011: Friendly, welcoming, comfortable - great central location in Oxford - convenient to all places of interest - on foot!
And apparently available throughout the year - not just in summer.
Thanks!
Mr Julian Petkov, agosto 2011: thank you very much indeed for you service. I would like using it again! yours, JP
Prof Linda Carroll, agosto 2011: The stay was very pleasant and the rooms at Trinity College are excellent value for money. The central location makes it very convenient; the staff are very helpful and good at their jobs. Breakfast was exceptionally good.
Ms Susan Edwards, julio 2011: The porters were very helpful and available at all times. A really enjoyable stay.
Miss Alexandra Hiscox, mayo 2011: The welcome we received from the porters at Trinity College was fantastic. We were provided with information about the accommodation and breakfast as well as the city. It was great to see how proud the porters were to be members of Trinity and they were happy to tell us stories about student life at the college. I would definitely recommend the bed and breakfast at this college to friends considering a trip to Oxford. Great location and fantastic value for money compared to hotels and B&Bs outside the college network.
Ms jane arnett, abril 2011: I was thrilled at the experience of 'staying on campus'. It truly was the Oxford experience. The room was spotless and quiet and comfortable. I plan on doing the same in September. I would be amiss if I did not mention the kindness of the gate house staff. Both day and night staff were just wonderful and knowledgable and welcoming. They were generous with their time and informative in their conversation. They were a big part of what made my stay absolutely perfect. Please pass on my thanks to them.
Dr Stephen Breuer, abril 2011: The bathroom was tiny and not too well designed; probably OK for a young student, but we are much older than that. Overall, the comfort and convenience were far more important.
Mr David Hutchings, abril 2011: Lovely double room, quiet, clean and newly decorated. Ensuite a little on the small side. Beautiful college setting in a beautiful university city. The porters were extremely helpful and friendly people.
Mr Rod Butler, abril 2011: INTEND TO USE AGAIN
Jeri Wagner, abril 2011: The porters were wonderfully helpful, and I had a great time. Would recommend and happily use again.
Ben Grantham, abril 2011: The water pressure in the shower was very high, uncomfortable in fact. Flooded the little bathroom, every time. Could do with a shower door or reduced power.
Other than that it was great.
Roger Bailey, abril 2011: First Class .
Ms Magali Carrera, abril 2011: We had a wonderful stay at Trinity College. I will recommend it to friends!
John Prior, abril 2011: We were extremely happy with the accommodation and standard of service. We would definitely use this service again should be revisit Oxford.
Mr Peter Neidecker, abril 2011: Really great experience. Many thanks!!
Peter Garman, abril 2011: Room had just been decorated and there was still a strong smell of new paint. Shower had to be turned up to full power to get any hot water which just created a flood everywhere in the bathroom cubicle. However we received a friendly welcome and enjoyed our stay.
David Haskell, abril 2011: We were very pleased with our B&B en-suite double accommodation at Trinity College. Central location was fantastic, building and grounds beautiful, room spotless, staff very pleasant, breakfast delicious and plentiful, and competitive value. Minor inconveniences were no WiFi access, inconvenient shower curtain. We will definitely return.
Ms Heidi Pettersson, marzo 2011: Overall our stay at Trinity College was an extremely pleasant experience and I would warmly recommend it to everyone!
Debra Jones, marzo 2011: absolutely beautiful and priveledged to stay in college environment.
Mrs Meredith McKeon, marzo 2011: Trinity College is beautiful and well manicured. The suite was clean and comfortable. We had to leave too early to take advantage of the breakfast. Our stay was a pleasant experience!
Maria B. Hutchinson, marzo 2011: The only thing which detracted from my stay here was the size of the bathroom - so compact it was more of a cupboard - and its lack of ventilation, which meant that embarrassing odours hung in the air and the mirror took ages to clear of condensation if the shower was used. The accommodation was otherwise perfect - clean, airy room, comfortable bed, wonderful outlook, access to the beautiful and diverse gardens, great selection of food at breakfast, staff very obliging when the fried bread ran out (!) and (most important of all to a northern tea-aholic like me), I finally got the proper cup of tea I craved thanks to boiling water being available on tap, instead of having to make do with hot water in vacuum jugs(as had been the case in the other colleges I stayed in during this mini-break)
Deborah A. Lewis, marzo 2011: I have stayed at the Randolph three times and much preferred staying at Trinity College. Although I rated the room, facilities, and breakfast as Good, they were actually excellent in many respects. For example, the furniture in the room was perhaps student-worn, but was comfortable and generous, and the large windows and superb view on the lawn, the space and architecture of the room and buildings made it a supremely comfortable and enjoyable place to sit and read or to converse. I rated the breakfast Good, but the servings were generous and eaten in a beautiful Hall.
Michael William Sullivan, marzo 2011: Excellent! We would never again stay anywhere else in Oxford if this room was available at Trinity
Ms Anne Young, marzo 2011: We had a room off staircase 6 - decent size and well decorated with new carpet and high quality bedding etc. En suite small but fine for one night. Breakfast in 16th/17th century dining hall has got to be a plus compared with your average hotel. Have to bear in mind this isn't one - no TV or wifi - but otherwise excellent location and value plus atmosphere. College porters were great - welcoming and helpful. This was a great value stay compared with city centre hotels.
Mr Roderick Hahlo, marzo 2011: Excellent location, porters very helpful.
Mr Peter Hannigan, marzo 2011: Outstanding courtesy from College porters and all staff.Warm, welcoming atmosphere ans excellent breakfast. Only complaint: one of the beds was very uncomfortable, making sleep difficult. But overall a very happy visit.
Mr Rolf Mack, marzo 2011: Room was very basic, but warm and reasonably comfortable. The choice on offer at breakfast was very good. It would be nice if breakfast hours could be extended till 9:30 or later, but this is a minor quibble.
Mr John St Dominic, marzo 2011: Porters were very friendly and helpful, providing detaied directions for finding my room. The room was very spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and spotlessly clean, and also very peaceful, despite being next to the Porters' Lodge and Broad St. The next morning I was greeted by an expansive selection of food for breakfast - everything from full English, through porridge, cereal and Danish pastries to fresh fruit! I had heard that Trinity is renowned among Oxford colleges for the quality of its accommodation and catering, and now I know why!
Brittany S. Stein, marzo 2011: The people were lovely.
Dr Barbara Hibbert, marzo 2011: An excellent way to get economical accommodation in Oxford. Understood it was student accommodation so with this in mind have no complaints.
Dr Val Goodwin, octubre 2010: We were delighted with our stay in Oxford. The room was comfortable, but a little noisy as it faced onto the street. The porters and scouts were most obliging, providing information, an umbrella (!) and making enquiries on our behalf to other colleges. In short, we would certainly stay here again.
Rahmah Yusoff, septiembre 2010: Very delicious breakfast
Suzanne Saxby, septiembre 2010: Lovely to be in the centre of Oxford, room fine would have liked to stay longer.
Caroline Hurley, agosto 2010: Excellent experience of hospitality and cul
Stuart Sherring, agosto 2010: A wonderful experience and most enjoyable. Whilst I was well aware of the magnificent setting I did not expect this pampered luxury. Thank you. Stuart
Meriel Bottle, agosto 2010: Room comfortable, clean and spacious. Porters friendly and helpful. First rate breakfast served in the ancient dining hall. Splendid buildings and gardens, and a perfect location in central Oxford. Highly recommended.
Fred Landergren, julio 2010: A great experience!
Courtney Nathan, julio 2010: I had a fantastic stay. The room was clean, well kept, breakfast was a bonus and there was absolutely nothing I could fault on my stay, I had THE best time :)
Maria Lopez, julio 2010: Very pleasnat staff, superb location and setting. Very good breakfast in fabulous dining hall.
Nancy Fabbri, julio 2010: I had a lovely stay. The people at the gate were very pleasant and helpful, the food was great, and the location was absolutely awesome!!!
Pierre Lagarde, julio 2010: I quote 'good' for the standard of the rooms just because the room has no bath room.
Elizabeth Bishop, julio 2010: The breakfast was fantastic and the staff at the enterance very helpful. I would have liked a second pillow and the mattress was a bit lumpy. Very convenient and beautiful buildings and gardens which made the whole experience a pleasure.
Jan Vanthienen, julio 2010: TV would make the experience perfect
CILLA LONG, julio 2010: Porters were very helpful
Catharine Shafto, julio 2010: Busy on arrival, breakfast started to run out, otherwise an excellent experience!
Dr G Price, julio 2010: Made very welcome, and a lovely room overlooking Broad Street in central Oxford.
Josephine Ash, julio 2010: Clean, spacious, atmospheric, wonderful! Thank you.
John Matthews, julio 2010: very pleasant staff, fantastic central location. Room not en-suite and only 2 showers for staircase
Mrs H Blenkinsop, julio 2010: Very helpful porter. Room extremely comfortable and spacious but furnishings a bit tired. Obviously staying in a beautiful ancient college is a unique experience - more fun and cheaper than a hotel, so the lack of swish furnishings and en suite facilities is entirely forgivable. Good value for money.
DIANA BLEASE, junio 2010: Lovely, lovely setting. Was like something from a film! Spacious, airy, immaculately clean rooms. Mattresses were a bit uncomfortable. En suite facilities were good. The only problem was we were kept awake all night due to a ball an a neighbouring college! Otherwise it was perfect.
Shirley Evans, junio 2010: Fantastic. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone.
Mrs M R Daniels, abril 2010: The room was comfortable and spotless, although rather chilly. I enjoyed walking around the beautiful grounds and appreciated Trinity College's proximity to central Oxford when hunger struck in the evening. The hospitality tray was welcome although rather sparsely stocked.
Julie McKay, marzo 2010: It suited me extremely well. Standard of room and service very good. Many thanks.
Yien Wai Chow, marzo 2010: It has been an awesome experience and I will definitely stay in the colleges when I next visit Oxford. It is however not very widely advertised as I mentioned this to a few tourist who joined the walking tour and they wished they knew about this and would have stayed in the college.
Charlotte Williams, marzo 2010: Very helpful porters and kitchen staff, lovely room thank you.
Gillian Meeson, marzo 2010: The room was very large incorporating a separate Lounge area and 2 bedrooms. The location is great and the breakfast was very good.
All round excellent experience
Julia Elcock, marzo 2010: Very helpful staff, central location, excellent breakfast and very comfortable and compact room. If only there was a light so that one could work at the desk in comfort. The bedside lamp and overhead lights just aren't good enough.
Charles Jardine, marzo 2010: The service was excellent from the booking to the courteous and professional gatekeepers. Well worth the effort and a big help with a challenging conference - keep up the good work - we need to lead in the UK!
Anders Oelsgaard Larsen, marzo 2010: A memorable stay. The tranquility of the college and college gardens was much appreciated.
David Vishanoff, marzo 2010: The staff at Trinity College was very hospitable, and the whole experience was delightful.
Lana Myers, febrero 2010: The people at the Porter's Gate were incredibly kind!
Claire Turner, febrero 2010: It was a lovely, large very clean room with good tea and coffee facilities. I knew it was not en suite, but it was along way down the stairs in the night to the basement toilets!! I don't suppose it can be helped! The breakfast was delicious with lots of choice, the porters and other staff most helpful and polite
Martin Baum, febrero 2010: Excellent on all levels. Glorious surrounding, excellent service, and great value for money. Would definitely use again
Katie Scott, febrero 2010: Was fantastic staying in a college - far more homely than a hotel. The staff were lovely, especially the porters. I would definitely use the service again.
Andy Le Bas, septiembre 2009: An excellent visit-all staff were very friendly & helpful.There was a slight hiccup with my original booking which led to me being upgraded to a better room.The whole experience was delightful.Thank you.
Lorraine Anderson, julio 2009: Beautiful gardens
Lisa Simpson, julio 2009: I enjoyed staying at Trinity. I thought that it was lovely looking out on the buildings and gardens that I have admired through the gates during my many visits to Oxford.
Piers Warner, abril 2009: The location is lovely and considering these are student rooms, the accommodation is perfectly acceptable. The welcome on arrival and departure was excellent. The breakfast was fine, though the timings were a bit restrictive and, given that people are on holiday, should be extended to at least 09.30 (from the current 09.00). The peace and quiet within a city environment was great and we thoroughly enjoyed out stay. I would book again. Many thanks.
Piers Warner
Elizabeth L Holmes, abril 2009: I recommend Trinity College to all travelers-- the staff were outstanding in their service (scout, porters, even the electrician who came to help turn down my heat). Note it appears random as far as the online booking if you get a large or small room-- it might be worth a follow-up to check.
Judy Merry, abril 2009: Staying at Trinity was both convenient and full of character. The staff [porters and scouts] were exceptionally friendly and helpful, although our rooms were rather over-heated. We liked the simplicity of the accommodation - please do not give in to requests for TV sets in the rooms!
Pablo Fernandez, abril 2009: It has been a great experience. So much better than an average hotel.
Im still impressed.
Mary Richardson, abril 2009: This was excellent and very convenient accommodation - perfect.
Professor Russell Smandych, abril 2009: I was very pleased with the accommodation, room service, and breakfasts provided at the College during my recent 2 week stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and the College grounds were beautifully kept and provided a peaceful atmosphere to escape the otherwise busy city and university. I would highly recommend the College to anyone who is planning a short trip to Oxford and wants to be close to the major university colleges and libraries.
Lucy Lynch, abril 2009: Frist, room details: the room was large, clean, and well liet. The new bathroom included a very nice shower and the internet connect at the desk was also a real plus.
Second: the setting: Trinity has lovely grounds, and the buildings are arranged in several nested quads. My room was in a corner staircase of the garden quad and the view coming out the door in the morning was worth the price by itself.
Marianne Taylor, abril 2009: Booking on your website was simple and effecient.
We were lucky to get a duoble room with bathroom in a college, and the room itself was immaculate, warm and clean, but rather austere, which is only to be expected in an empty college room.
But the overall experience was fantastic! The staff were very friendly and helpful, the breakfast delicious, and being able to stay in the centre of Oxford, being able to wander in the gardens on Sunday a beautiful peaceful Sunday morning, and hearing the choir rehearse in the chapel before the service was all absolutely magical. We can't wait to come again!!!
And we can't wait to explore other universities and colleges!
Thanks for organising such a great arrangement.
Daniel Mitschke, abril 2009: Really enjoyed my stay!
Gwyn Jenkins, abril 2009: Really enjoyable. Trinity is a beautiful college and the room was bright, spacious and comfortable. The staff (porters, scout, and kitchen staff) were kind and helpful. In a city where accommodation is usually very expensive and often poor value for money, you seem to offer an excellent alternative. Central location, beautiful surroundings, and if you don't mind not having ensuite facilities it's definitely much better value than the hotels. Many thanks!
Laura Melton, abril 2009: I lived in Jericho five years ago and when I came back to visit I picked your website on a whim. The service I got was unparalleled - everyone was kind and helpful, the rooms were in top shape and breakfast was delightful. Thanks so much!
Stuart Earl, abril 2009: College setting was lovely
Very helpful / friendly staff
Tom Watson, marzo 2009: I'm recommending it to everyone.
