Bed & Breakfast
Staying at Christ Church
Christ Church offers a unique opportunity for members of the public to stay in vacant student bedrooms. If you are visiting Oxford during the Easter and Summer holiday periods, why not stay as guests of the college? You can be base either on the main site or at one of our two annexes: 117 St Aldates, a three-minute walk from Christ Church; or the Liddell Building in East Oxford.
Christ Church can only accommodate adults (aged 18 and over). This includes babies/children sharing a room with adults. If such a booking is made you will be asked to cancel it, and the refund amount will be in line with T&Cs, or if you arrive at the property you will be refused entry and no refund will be given.
Check in from 3pm and Check out by 10am. (If the room is not vacated by 10am, a fee may apply.)
On arrival, all guests will be asked to check their details and sign a guest information form (required under the Immigration (Hotel Records) Order 1972). Non-UK guests will also be required to provide the number and place of issue of their passport, their nationality and their next destination. These records must be kept for at least 12 months and be available for inspection by any police officer.

There is no availability shown on the calendar. Why is this?
It is only possible to stay during the vacation period: March/April, July, August and September, outside of these times no availability will show. During these vacation periods, we accommodate conferences and summer schools so availability for B&B guests is limited. Easter availability is added to our website by the end of November, and summer availability by the end of January.
