Charged in extra or one night. Stayed 3 nights there are 5 charges from the hostel.

8/10 Very good

For the price it's okay but not so clean and they only have 3 showers for all women. The location is great! I'd say for two or three nights it's perfect but not for any longer
2-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is good. The staff is nice and helpful. The breakfast is lovely, the kitchen is good. The public place is good. But the room is a little bit too crowded for 10 people, i think that room is maximum for 8 people only. Only small locker in the room, so everyone can only put their luggage on the floor and make it more crowed. Only one power bar share between 4 bed on the floor. it is hard for the upper bed traveler to charge their phone.

4/10 Fair

酒店早餐面包，果酱，牛奶，荞麦片，位置距离bus站很近，不知道是不是牛津价格贵，但住宿价格真的偏贵在英国，如果选择非去牛津，最好选择一晚或不住就可以了，有厨房，冰箱很小，基本没地方放东西，背包客的人不多，长住人不少，

不像背包客，倒像廉价旅社，很多长住的客人，房间小，床铺挨着床，订的铺位当时以为时12个床，结果18床，订时网站不显示有多少个床位，希望网站在预定时应提供床位数，前台说加1-2磅给我换10人间，因为订了两晚，结果加了5磅换到了10人间，凑合住了两晚，价格在英国是最贵的了，条件却是最差的 19磅10人间，周一，周二时间

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed in the room was comfortable and it was not very noisy at night.

8/10 Very good

Staff are great. Helpful and friendly. Free breakfast was a nice touch. Only thing that I didn't like was no plugs up at top bunks. There was extension leads but the one near my bed was across the room to the bottom bunk. I didn't feel ok to just move it and never got to see the guy who had it. Apart from that it was a good stay.

Nice place, lovely staff

The place is clean, beds are comfy enough and staff are friendly and helpful. The only downside was the limited number of showers and sinks in ladies shower room.

Eine Horrornacht

Ich wollte eine Nacht im Oxford Backpackers übernachten und bin zwar in meinem Stockbett gelegen, aber von Schlaf keine Rede. In der besagten Nacht gab es eine Party. Beim Checkin wurde darauf hingewiesen, dass es ab 11 Uhr leise zu sein hat. Sie meinte damit die Zimmer, nicht aber den Gemeinschaftsraum. Mein Zimmer lag jedoch gleich als erstes im Gang - also in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Gemeinschaftsraum. Dort wurde gefeiert, geschrien, getanzt und getrunken. Alles kein Problem - dachte ich. Ich konnte die ganze Nacht nicht schlafen und es kam mir so vor als würde ich in mitten der Party schlafen. Gegen 7 Uhr bin ich dann ins Badezimmer um zu duschen und aufs WC zu gehen. Die WCs im Damenbadezimmer waren alle mit Erbrochenem und anderen Substanzen verstopft. Regelmäßig kamen Männer ins DAMENBAD - woraufhin ich Wache stand während eine zweite Frau duschte und dann umgekehrt. Das Bad war in schrecklichem Zustand und als die Rezeptionistin hereinkam, dachte ich sie würde aufräumen und putzen. Dem war nicht so, da die Dame selbst so betrunken war, dass sie sich im Waschbecken erbrach. Als ich um kurz vor 8 das Hostel verließ war die Party noch voll im Gang. Danke und nie wieder.
