Central Backpackers Reviews

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!

Really happy with my stay at central backpackers. The staff are very friendly, the atmosphere of the hostel is great, offering a great opportunity to meet fellow travellers. Would recommend!

Central Backpackers is all good! Super clean, secure and great atmosphere. Awesome staff too, special shout out to Maddy who was very helpful! Trent from Perth :)

Very noisy!!!!

Excellent location!

The noise was the main issue with the hostel - being situated next to nightclubs was not the best idea. The rooms are a bit dark, nothing special. Overall, just a dark, depressing and loud hostel.

friendly staff always willing to walk the extra mile

Generally a nice stay. The building is the converted space of two town houses. Fire code compliance probably needs to be improved (with the central fire door not closing and always being left open). Laundry service reasonably prices but the washed laundry left near the smoking area. Loaned a padlock for free from reception which was nice. Overall the place was worth what I paid and generally quite comfortable.

Amazing stay. The place was clean, tidy and the atmosphere was great. The staff, awesome, in fact there was a guy called Alvaro Sanchez(not sure about the name) that helped us a lot with a small problem we had. If I had to come back to Uk, I'll start from living in this place because is great!!!

No hot water in the shower. Lockers were expensive and if I'm paying for a stay, I should be able to leave a small bag there during the day for free. Absurd charges.

Great little hostel located close to everything. Had a blast.

Very good. Would like if closet were a bit bigger in order to guard a notebook or a bigger backpack. Just improvements, place was certainly very good.

Fun place to stay in a great location in Oxford. The staff is stellar, super friendly, which makes the vibe of this place very welcoming. The common area is small, but this means you have a good chance of meeting other travellers. A good choice if going to Oxford

Great stay, would recommend it.

You have wifi and outlets in your bedroom, but no locker storage in the rooms. The atmosphere was great, everyone was friendly. There was a TV room separate from the hangout/computer room and everyone was very friendly.

Had a great time there!

One of the best backpackers I have been to. Great service, friendly staff. Would love to come back sometime again to Oxford, specifically for this place alone.

Just a remark about the bunkbeds: the wooden boards around parts of the bunkbeds and on the bed slats make the bunks very noisy as you literally hear every move your neighbours make (awake or in their sleep;)). Perhaps it would be a good idea if you could look into finding a way of 'muting' this? Apart from that we enjoyed our stay at Central Backpackers and would definitely recommend it to friends and family looking for cheap accomodation in Oxford!

Cosier than other hostels in Oxford. Staff and guests are quite young. Young backpackers feel more welcome than in other hostels.

the positive is that It is excellent get for free a pad lock for use. You don't have to pay for use it. It is nice that the company gives a towel for you to use for free, if you don't have any. It is very very good the location. The negative is the number of showers and toilets for everyone at rush hour.
