Hostel
Up to 11 people can stay in the hostel, in a mixture of
single, double and shared rooms. These are built around a central salon, which
has a drinks fridge, bookshelves, cable television, and a log fire for the
winter. All rooms are well fitted for study, with desks and free wire / wireless
internet (which also covers most of the institute balconies and garden). Sheets,
duvets, blankets and towels are provided, and the hostel is cleaned four times a
week. Residents share two bathrooms, and have free use of the washing machines
and clothes dryer. International calls can be made to and from the hostel
telephone, using phonecards which are supplied on arrival (see Contact Us for
the relevant numbers). Mobile phones are also available for hire for £0.50 per
day plus call costs.
Residents cook for themselves in a
large, well-equipped kitchen on the ground floor, where they have their own
fridge and cupboard space. A small self-service breakfast is provided, and the
kitchen is kept stocked with basic supplies: tea, coffee, milk, bread,
preserves, spices etc.
Residents at the Kenyon Institute
have 24-hour access to all institute facilities, including the library.
