9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
Best (most comfy) bunk beds ever!
Shower temperature fluctuated up and down
7 / 10Good·Oct 2026
Great location 10 min walk at most to all the main Oxford attractions. The showers and toilets were clean.
The rooms were messy (which was from other people obviously), it felt like the bed linen hadn’t been washed and the bunk beds are quite small and very thin uncomfortable mattresses. Also the nightclub is very loud and the earplugs did nothing to help that!
9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
Pocket sized, central, well staffed, thought of everything.
Hostel etiquette has changed since I was young, it was sad to see no one connecting, but staring at their screens.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2026
Good location, free coffee
Beds are creaky, only 2 showers, no convenient hooks or shelves in bathroom, kitchen tables are dirty
