    The staff and vibe was very homly.
    Rooms had radiators on full with windows open - why?

    A well organised, clean hostel.
    Great location. They covered all the little things that hostels sometimes miss - shower gel provided in the showers, free towel hire, tea/coffee/seasonings in kitchen, handtowels in the bathroom etc. The kitchen was well stocked and the common area was a good size. There were plenty of toilets and showers, so you could always find one available. Just a well organised, clean hostel.
    This will be a benefit for some, but the mattresses were very firm. I woke up several times with a dead leg or arm. This is literally my only negative.

    Except for that condescending lady my stay was cool
    The volunteers guys were cool
    Returned from work one evening in full orange when one lady staff continued to question my presence & even delayed me ascending the stairs, after I entered the premises via key code and explained I was a guest

    Simple, clean and tidy. Met expectations and okay for single night.
    Only saw room in dark but dorms seemed simple (in a good way) clean and tidy. Shared bathroom down the hall. Shelf for personal belongings & lamp (although I didn't use as no curtain on bunks so would disturb others).
    Strange guests– a very angry man muttering to himself wasn't best way to wake up

    Comfortable stay in central Oxford
    I stayed at this hostel for two nights as a solo traveler and had a great experience overall. The location is amazing just a 5 minute walk from the train station and very close to all the main tourist attractions in Oxford, which made getting around super easy. The room was spacious, and the bunk beds were very comfortable, with plenty of personal space. The bathrooms were very clean and had both hot and cold water that you could adjust yourself, which was a big plus. The kitchen and common areas were large, cozy, and welcoming, perfect for relaxing or meeting other travelers. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and always happy to help, which really made the stay even better
    The only small downside is that there’s a pub and a street right next to the hostel, so you can hear some noise at night.

    Amazing location, strange rules
    Very close to the city centre and all of the attractions
    Swiping my card with code on ,,blank payment,, bc they dont have credit card details, though everything was paid through Booking.com... Very strange, I travel a lot, I WORK as a receptionist using Booking, and I know for a fact they share it with Hotels. 1st time meeting this kind of thing, strange vibe...Also, not having access to your own food atnight bc kitchen is closed wih a key, not ideal, especially if you have early start.
