Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The setting is conducive to meeting new friends from around the world. I started my trip there and returned there at the end of my travels. ##### Steve Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hoi Kiu 19 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommended Lovely stay. Friendly and helpful staff, cleans the shower every time someone uses it. Comfy & clean beds, have these boards around you so you don’t have to look at someone when you’re lying down. Very clean, tidy, and cozy kitchen & common area. Also, they don’t charge for luggage storage after checkout which is a huge plus (every other hostel I stayed in would charge post-checkout luggage storage fee, which I understand) It could get pretty loud on Saturday night but they offer free earplugs. Great stay overall, highly recommended! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B531EC000ECF7D72C153B675B9336968890147131687203039390.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Hoi Kiu Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharman 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean easy to find premises close to Oxford city centre. ##### Sharman Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sruthi 24 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The location is so convenient ,the railway station , bus station ,city centre and major attractions are at walkable distance from the hostel ##### Sruthi Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Aruana 11 Apr 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness Me senti bem recebida.

Heavy noise coming in from the street during the weekend due to the need of keeping the window slightly open to refresh the dormitory. Earplugs kindly made available by the management. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### simon 2 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort it was a great place to stay and easy to get to the city ##### simon Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### olufunmilayo 19 Sept 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The kitchen and the easy tk use shower is unique and excellent ##### olufunmilayo Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniela 8 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I would stay there again I really liked the hostel. Loads of areas to hangout and relax. The location is also very good, in between the station and the city centre. They let me leave my bag before checking in and after the check out. The hostel is above a couple of night clubs so make sure you bring some earplugs or you could use the ones the hostel gives out for free. ##### Daniela Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location Kitchen well stocked with equipment Comfortable communal area Free tea & coffee ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jared 6 Oct 2021 Disliked: Room comfort #### HORRIBLY NOISY Horrible Location - this Hostel should disclose that their rooms are located directly above three dance clubs. VERY VERY VERY VERY NOISY. I got maybe 2 hours of quiet. ##### Jared Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 29 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Visited Oxford to study in Bodleian.

Excellent service from the reception staff. Shame the weather was so hot, almost boiling and the AC in my room was almost non-existent. Even with an open window, it was simply too hot to spend even an hour in. Checked out straightaway. ##### Bemigho Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikky 9 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean, bright and cheerful I fancied a cheap couple of days away from home and work to explore Oxford as I'd always wanted to visit and what could be cheaper than a Backpacker hotel with shared sleeping arrangements! I highly recommend this accommodation. Very clean, and bright with excellent kitchen and bathroom facilities and helpful staff. It was also fun sleeping on a top bunk for the first time in decades! ##### Nikky Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 19 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Too loud for comfort It was much too loud. Not only is the hostel right next to a nightclub, but even the staff opening up the facilities at 7 am talked so loudly that they woke everyone up after a few hours of sleep. And that's with earplugs... ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Osney Arms Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-The-Osney-Arms-Guest-House.h6574099.Hotel-Information) > > [easyhotel Oxford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Easyhotel-Oxford.h65706183.Hotel-Information) > > [Oxford Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Oxford-Guest-House.h27369550.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Oxford, St Hugh's College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-University-Of-Oxford.h30551400.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Pleasant Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Mount-Pleasant-Hotel.h35540366.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [Sportsview Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Sportsview-Guest-House.h15475899.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Oxford Hawkwell House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Mercure-Oxford-Hawkwell-House-Hotel.h554934.Hotel-Information) > > [Marlborough house hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Marlborough-House-Hotel.h24315679.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oxford House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-The-Oxford-House.h21354897.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Mullions Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Red-Mullions-Guest-House.h12475734.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Oxford Spires by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Voco-Oxford-Spires.h520298.Hotel-Information) > > [Newton House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Newton-House.h7499101.Hotel-Information) > > [Athena Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Athena-Guest-House.h12591862.Hotel-Information) > > [Remont Oxford Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Remont-Oxford-Hotel.h18173360.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tree Hotel at Iffley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-The-Tree-Hotel-At-Iffley.h11899956.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Oxford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Oxford.h12774838.Hotel-Information) > > [Titanic Hotel Liverpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-Titanic-Hotel-Liverpool.h7763320.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental London - The O2 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-InterContinental-London-The-O2.h11518997.Hotel-Information) > > [St. Margaret's Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-St-Margarets-Hotel.h33411621.Hotel-Information) > > [Conifers Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Conifers-Guest-House.h33339279.Hotel-Information) > > [Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Oxford-Linton-Lodge-Hotel.h455423.Hotel-Information) > > [The Galaxie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-The-Galaxie.h11899953.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswold Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Cotswold-Lodge-Hotel.h1209522.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Oxford Thames by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Voco-Oxford-Thames-Hotel.h80393.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westwood Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-The-Westwood-Hotel.h1680521.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Oxford.h12654.Hotel-Information) > > [Ethos Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Ethos-Hotel.h2141928.Hotel-Information)
