We stayed here for 4 nights in May. There were also 2 large school groups, but they honestly were not a problem compared to some adults we encountered on other parts of our 3 week trip. Our timing was bad the first morning at breakfast,arriving right after one school group. But the breakfast line moved quickly, and juices were restocked... More

Being a YHA member I tend to utilise the Hostels as they generally prove to be excellent value for money and very pleasant places to stay. This one in Oxford is very conveniently situated by taking in the fact the room cost £86 for the night, but you have no TV, towels, parking facilities or any comforts at all you... More

I stayed in a four-bed dorm at this YHA for one night. It is good value (in comparison to the hotels in the area) and ideally placed next to the train station, unfortunately there is no parking though. The room was very basic, as expected, but the bunk beds were comfortable and the room and bathroom were clean. The bar... More

I spent two nights here in a female dorm. My positives were: - cheap food and great coffee from the cafe/bar - decent sized locker for belongings - comfy bunk bed - comfortable places to hang out like the reception, lounge and kitchen - very close to the train station but didn't really hear the train in the room Negatives...

There are many good things about YHA. Its just beside the train station, its cheap, the room is clean and there's a luggage area to leave your things. But I am not only keen in clean and cheap but I also believe that friendly staff will make the stay more memorable for some even if the other physical aspect of... More

We had 20+ dads-and-lads for a rugby tour to Oxford and we stayed in the YHA. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty good about the place, but it's just not for me. The good stuff? Really handy to the train station and a 10 minute walk to the centre of town. It's warm, dry, clean(ish), and has all facilities... More

Very disappointed in the 'family accommodation'. All the beds crammed into one room, no privacy, bathroom very small, cramped and smelly. Mattresses very hard and lumpy. Shower curtain mildewed, signs of damp and mildew around shower area. No WIFI access in rooms and even though available in reception area you have to pay. Luckily the staff were cheerful and very...

really reasonable price and good value for money. 24 pounds for dorm in 4 with private shower and bathroom. Room very big and clean...kitchen available for self catering but also restaurant open for meals so perfect. Found lounge room a bit old and smelly but perhaps it was because a naughty mate ate rubbish food inside. eally convenient as location...just... More

Very very expensive for a private room. Over priced for what it is. Get cheaper rates at a travel lodge or holiday inn express. Room was tiny and despite the price still ahve to make and strip beds and pay for towels, shampoo etc. Complete rip off

This hostel is fine for the £15-20 a night you pay for a room in a dorm. The lounge area is a nice place to relax, talk to other travellers and have a glass of wine/catch up on the news. The rooms are pretty basic. I've stayed here on a couple of occasions, and the mattresses could do with updating,... More
