YHA Oxford Reviews

A bit expensive, but apart from that it's a very good choice.

Best location. Nice staff ESP the deputy manager guy, seems he's there 24 hours. Just a bit old, I don't like the bed.

We were disapointed with this hostel, stayed at much nicer places for less. Fire alarms kept going off which was incredibly annoying

The place looked generally tired and worn but was clean. The reception staff were excellent.

Self catering kitchen super dirty - guests are asked to clean up after, but if they don't do it others are not guilty about it! Flyers about respecting others' food must be attached into the kitchen walls - I have my food stolen!!!! very annoying!!

For non YHA-members, there is an additional 3 pounds per person per night. Needs to pay for Wi-fi. However, during our first day there, the wi-fi was down. It was a little disappointing for us, as we came from YHA Liverpool earlier (which didnt have free wi-fi either) and was quite eager to pay for the wi-fi already. The kitchen was rather well-equipped. However, people do not wash up after they used the various stuff, hence it seems rather dirty. Water flow was small for the shower.

The staff was very nice and friendly. They showed me which places to visit and how to get their.

there were hairs on my sheet, and bathroom was too small

The Hostel was deceptive regarding their prices; Hostelworld claimed their prices were £15 online, but when we arrived, they made us pay £18 as non-members. Also, they implied that the breakfast was complimentary, when it was in fact £4.95. While two members of the staff was very helpful, the majority were very rude and could not speak English very well. The electronic locks often malfunctioned, and when I told the staff, they became upset with me as if it were my fault. Despite this, not bad.

Would be good if room was cleaned (vacuumed) rather than only the bathroom.

my friends and i had a great ti rme, and we were over the moon with the rooms. sevice andhospitality provided

Excellent staff, great breakfast. We will certainly be staying there again.

Kudos to Gabrielle who was quick to accommodate last minute changes to my schedule.

If I was by myself at the room, I`d mistake the hostel for a proper hotel. Great beds, great staff, the nicest I`ve met so far.

Costs more than it claims to. Deceptive.

If you are on a budget and want to be in central Oxford this is the place! And ,as Hostels go, just fine. Pity about the smelly shower curtains for room 210 and the shower was a spigot, not even approaching a shower. But the bath on floor 1 , brilliant, lashings of really hot water . Staff need a few caffeine boosts, maybe , but helpful enough ! Good supply of information for visitors. Good for train spotting if you suffer from insomnia.

The staff were very friendly and keen to be helpful. The layout was very modern and simple. There was a library/ study which was nicely done. There were good displays of Oxford's famous residents, which was a cool touch. Everything was very clean and the beds and duvets were in impeccable shape. The only slight thing is that there was no free wireless access which was a bit of a pain.

Nice hostel, close to the city centre and train station. Clean rooms. Kitchen is not very clean though. Nice lounch area. The staff is very friendly and helpfull.

Anything that wasn't in the room cost extra money - major negative

Very clean! in general the staff were kind people.... is a great location next to the rail station, nice breakfast, the only thing is that if u are not a member they charge 3 pounds!! u must bring ur own towels or u can hire it from reception, I would stay there if I go again :)
