iQ Alice House

At iQ Alice House, you can start your day at nearby Quarterhorse Coffee, where you can flick through newspapers as you enjoy a cappuccino and Nutella banana bread. Stroll to university through Angel & Greyhound Meadow, or take a walk along the Magdalen Bridge and admire the leafy views. Stop at the historic Covered Market to browse independent boutiques and pick up delicious fresh produce, or be inspired by the cutting-edge exhibitions at Modern Art Oxford museum. By night, catch up with friends over drinks at the quaint Turf Tavern, then join the queue to dance until late at Atik nightclub.

You’ll be based near the southern edge of the University of Oxford, so you’ll be able to walk to colleges like Magdalen and Merton in around five minutes. For any of the others, you’ll find it just as easy to get to class if you take your bike from Alice House’s secure facility. It’s a 20-minute walk, or five-minute bike ride, to Oxford Brookes University.

Whether you’ve spent the day at university or exploring your new neighbourhood, iQ Alice House’s central location means it won’t take long to get back home. Retreat to your spacious studio and make a snack in your private kitchen, then switch on your Smart TV and relax in your living area. There’s high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, so you can work in comfort in the well-designed study area, or head to one of the communal areas to brainstorm with friends.

When it’s time to unwind, recharge with a game of pool in the residents’ lounge. Then, freshen up with a hot shower in your private ensuite, and head out to meet friends for dinner and drinks. Build your own burger at student favourite The Cape of Good Hope pub, or enjoy cocktails and tapas at Kazbar – both are two minutes from your door. Don’t worry if you don’t have plans, just drop your clothes at the in-house laundry facilities, then curl up with a good book in your comfy double bed.

You’ll find it easy to manage your money because bills are included in your rent, and the 24-hour staffed reception means there’s always someone available if you need help or advice. You’ll also have peace of mind with CCTV, contents insurance and a secure entry system.
