Nice youthful backpackers hostel located two blocks from the train and bus stations. Has fast internet and a nice chill backpacker ambiance. Clean bathrooms and showers. Small lockers and locks for your computers and and other personal items. Overall a nice choice for budget accommodations in Oxford..

It was such a great stay ! The staff is so friendly, they make you comfy from the very first second you enter the hostel, everything was clean, especially the bathrooms which we could have expected to be a little dirty. But NO ! It was just perfect, not too far from the town centre. Thanks a lot for making our trip a perfect one !

Great for a hostel in the UK. A bit noisy but I was staying there on a Saturday night so that's understandable - and they provided earplugs. All in all the atmosphere and the facilities are rather good.

This hostel is phenomenal. The staff is amazingly friendly and they work hard to make you feel at home and establish a sense of community. The rooftop patio is a great place to hang out and meet new people in a fun atmosphere. The free clean towels from the common linen closet are a nice touch. We felt safe while there and were perfectly happy to spend our free time there while it was rainy. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone. Cheers!

I didn't expected the iron facility, nor that quiteness in the middle of Oxford. Very clean bed sheets and toilets, and good working showers. Very friendly staff. I could have breakfast before 8am because I had to check out very soon. I recomend it even for lone young traveller girls for its safety, as well.

Toilets were dirty, manager was hungover, across the street from a night club so I was let awake by drunken revellers. It is close to the centre of town though and all the colleges. I just tried to not be at the hostel that often. I didn't feel like I could relax and put my feet up. I spent everyday out and tried to stay out as long a possible!

The staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The hostel had a family atmosphere which was really nice. The location was great, very close to the train station and the city centre. Thanks for a great experience!

Great hostel in the heart of town. There are lots of long stay guests and some of them also work there, they were a bit 'clicky' but still talked to other guests most of the time. Outdoor covered bar/smoking area is a great place to talk to other guests. The kitchen and eating area can be a little crowded.

Nice friendly place, really felt welcome here! Nice hot showers and comfy beds. The location was in easy reach of all the sites around town and an easy 5 minute walk from the bus station (even with all my bags!).
