enjoyed my stay earlier this month. was a pub crawl which was advertised but didnt happen due to a lack of people to do the crawl. that aside, the staff were all friendly, and all seemed to be having as good a time as the visitors. was noisy with the clubs literally outside the front door. so beware! breakfast was good, facilities were good.free tea and coffee is always a plus, as well as free internet.

Lovely place to stay, very friendly and helpful staff. The place is right above a club, very loud at night, but apart from that it is a good.

It was really warm :) The shower was a bit tricky. Sometimes it got burning hot and other times really cold without moving the controller.

Nice place. Best things: location and many things included in the price: linens, towels, internet, breakfast. The communal area is rather small, and the place is in the noisi area, but the place has other nice things to make up for this. I would definitely come back here. Thank you!

The hostel was all right, but definitely too noisy. If you are in Oxford to make party, this is the right hostel. Iif you are there to study or for any other serious reason where you need to sleep during the night: choose another place to stay!

The showers are a tad difficult to master, and the pressure is ridiculously low, but that's personnal preference.

I haven't stayed at many hostels but this seemed about normal in many ways, and was overall fine. Another guest said she had some money stolen from her backpack while staying there, which made me nervous, but she also said she was not using the lockers provided, which were not compromised.

Owner Comment (Hide)
Hi there, I just wanted to let you know that security is of the highest importance to us here. In regards to the guest with 'stolen' money, we investigated her claim and found that it was false and that there were holes in her story. For this reason and a few others we decided to not allow this group (there was 3 of them) to extend there stay and asked them to leave promptly. I hope this explanation helps and my apologies if you were at all uncomfortable. Thanks for your review and safe travels!

The common areas are quite small but everything is clean, the staff are friendly and, having tried all of them, this is definitely the best hostel in Oxford.
