Me senti bem recebida. Os recepcionistas foram muito claro com relação ao funcionamento do hostel. ótima localização. Me senti super bem recebida. Banheiros em bom estado. Cozinha também. único ponto que eu sugeriria é para que os quartos e cozinha possuem sistema de ventilação trocar o ar. Obrigada por tudo!

Overpriced

Overpriced for the service provided (i.e., eight people to a room, no breakfast offered, etc.) in comparison to YHA accommodations throughout England.

Very loud, 4 night clubs next door, no air conditioning so had to have the windows open all night. So while you are trying to sleep there were people partying at 3am.

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!

Oxford budget accommodation

Clean and well maintained property. 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.

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.
