I stayed here before the renovations. I hope they've changed the mattresses as the one I slept on back then dipped so bad in the centre I was trapped in place all night. The location makes for poor sleep, due to all the clubs in the area. The internet connection was shocking at best. There are not enough bathrooms for... More

I planned to stay just one night in Oxford but I felt so confortable and so keen to stay that I ended up spending three nights, mostly because of the hostel. The staff is very friendly and personal! More

Room- Typical metal bunkbeds, decent foam mattresses. You get a clean pillow case upon check in, but I’m not sure if the duvet cover or sheets are washed between each guest (though I did see some laundry being done by staff when I was there). The rooms are along the main road and very loud at night from traffic and... More

This was my first time in a backpackers, and to be honest I was a little nervous! But once I arrived I was completely at ease. The common area is very chilled out and the staff were really courteous. The rooms are clean and serviceable, I was especially impressed with how clean the bathrooms were. I read some of the... More

Very happening hostel. The manager was real nice and helped us with anything we needed at all. Good location for both town and the train. We way overslept and they gave us our deposit back anyway even though they weren't supposed to. It was very easy going and nice. More

Typical student hostel and a really fun, friendly place. The bathrooms were clean and the showers all worked. Free wifi and for once a decent number of powerpoints around the place. Staff were great and organized pub crawls etc that they went out on as well. Nothing new and modern inside but all kept clean. Good location and everything within... More

This hostel seemed to be overrun by people in their early 20's who just were bumming around the hostel all day. Some of the things I didn't like in no particular order: - Cumbersome password security for room doors. A combo of numbers and letters you had to carry around on a paper. - Grimy kitchen - Ancient furnishings and... More

I've had a great time in Oxford Backpackers. The manager and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The best sleep nights that I had in the last 20 days. The room was quiet and the bed was new and confortable. Lockers inside the room, free wi-fi, clean bathrooms, great location. I'd love to be still there. More

We stayed there for one night, and it was ok. I just think that the beds are the most uncomfortable ever! My wife was hurting the next day from feeling the metal base on her hips. Otherwise it was ok. A real student joint with lots of young people, so be prepared for a lively time and perhaps a bit... More
