Oxford Backpackers Hostel Reviews

The hostel was really chills.. and at night the place lit up for sure. I was able to enjoy the day of walking around Oxford and site-seeing, as well as I was able to have a great time with the many friends I met during my stay! Definitely a fun place to stay if you are looking to have some fun throughout your travels!

It was lovely!

Really good hostel. Staff are all lovely and the location is perfect. Right in the centre of town with so many good shops/bars/food close by. Quite crowded, but nothing major. 'Free breakfast' everyday is just toast an some juice though!

The staff appeared incredibly lazy and very unprofessional. They act as though they are fellow guests, and are only helpful with those that they are "friends" with. Better staff would make this otherwise decent hostel better.

The hostel was great; really welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our stay. The showers weren't ideal - they kept going cold, but other than that, everything was really great. Staff were very friendly. It's a bit odd that the kitchen closes at night.

Staff was excellent, very helpful and chatted with us when they weren't working. Breakfast was a little lackluster. Location was great, very close to center.

Location excellent, room rather small, corridor and common room full of colours, objects, people. Bathrooms occupied most of the time, but more or less clean. Decent breakfast. Recommended.

Lots of fun and helpful staff. Comfy beds. The corridor outside the dormitories has lots of seats and is set up a another chatting space, but this made for loud prolonged conversations late at night which was a nuisance. Otherwise a very good stay.

I think they should create a small room for the TV/pool table separate from the common room 4 people who just want to see the TV/ play pool because people wishing to use their laptops are straining when either using WiFi/Voip etc

Excellent location especially for the nightlife. There was no lack of fellow travelers in the common area ready and willing to join me for a night out. Great fun. My bunk room did have a bit of a smell to it, they tried to do something about it with some aerosol but it needs an airing out.

.. a little bit more utensils for food etc

Easily accessible to from the train station, and within minutes to town center where most attractions are located. Very friendly and helpful staff, relaxing and fun atmosphere, great value for money with clean common wash/bathroom, basic breakfast, free wifi etc. Not as noisy as some hostels I've stayed in as there is a door separating the dorms and common area. Highly recommended for backpackers.

Wasn't the most comfortable hostel - pillows were awful. Towels were free on request, though. The bathrooms were fairly grotty but the location was fairly decent, a short walk from central Oxford.

The hostel is situated above a nightclub, which goes on until 3am, making it incredibly noisy and difficult to sleep.

The only thing it's that the bathrooms and toilets should be cleaned more times a day. That does not mean they are not clean, just that can be cleaner.

great staff, very clean and tidy. tv a little too small though! and maybe some more ventilation in the rooms would be good. overall a top hostel though. would definitely go back!

Cool atmosphere, good kitchen and friendly staff. A cosy and comfortable environment where I found talkative fellow travellers.

A bright and funky hostel, near the high street in Oxford. Wifi and a good breakfast/kitchen. However, no age limit and the larger dorms are cramped. Some rooms are a mission away from the bathroom.

feel happy

Can't recommend this hostel enough! Great location, great people, good wifi, free breaky, common room, kitchen...it ticks all the boxes :)
