The location was great, you will be in the city centre within a couple minutes of walking. The facilities are good and the hostel is very clean. The beds were also pretty good and they give you two pillows instead of one, which was such a blessing! Besides all these regular things, the hostel also has a great vibe and is perfect for meeting new people. The staff were so sweet and welcoming and I had such a good time with them! I’ve been travelling around the uk for some time now and I can confidently say this was one of the best hostels I’ve been to, and I would definitely come back again.

Nothing it was great!

I t was very clean, lovely to see that the showers were cleaned after every use and the staff were lovely. The common room and tv room as well as the terrace were a lovely place to hangout and get to know others. I was in an 8 bed dorm with mainly volunteers from the hostel which had its ups and down but overall very comfortable.

As I mentioned being in a dorm with majority of volunteers from the hostel I didn't really get to meet many new people which is something i rely on ebing a solo traveller, but overall it was good none the less. Being right next to the club was difficult as having to wear earplugs every night caused me do develop an ear infection unfortunately :(

The place is run by a group of friendly young people who partly live there, so they take care of the place as if it was their own. There is always someone available. Free coffee or tea is brewing, the kitchen is fully equipped, and if you need, you get clean towels. The showers are cleaned after every use, and the entire place is kept tidy. The dorms are secured with entry based on magnetic cards, and the lockers are good-sized. The location is great, only 5-10 minutes walk from the old town, central bus station, and train station.

The place is near a music bar which had wicked loud "entertainment" 2 out of 3 nights. My room was on the same side as this establishment. There is not much you can do about it, I guess, especially during the summer vacation time, although I was surprised that it didn't cease after midnight. Bummer.

Staff are very friendly and helpful - shoutout to Lisa, Ferrericho, Red and Nathan! Beds are comfy, lockers are big and rooms are clean. Everything works and functions well! The bed light, the chargers, the kitchen facilities, the bathrooms. The showers are clean and not clogged! Even provided a soap and shampoo dispenser. Everything, from the kitchen, to the common room, to the bathrooms is clean and modern. Location is also great- walking distance from the train station and centre. Also a very social and well-organised hostel with weekly pub quiz nights and other social events.

I loved everything about this place, and I was made to feel welcome from the moment I arrived until the moment I left. It is very central and near to all the tourist and entertainment attractions in the city. I also like the fact that the hostel is nice, calm and socialable, and not a 'party' hostel. The staff are genuniely fantastic and friendly and so were the fellow guests who socialable and fun-going and being respectable as well to each other.

There is nothing not to like about Central Backpackers in Oxford. It genuinely is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at.

Brilliant super International: Staff&Guests My Oxford University career is growing Great Guns, & I’ll be back. Trains however!?! Plenty of delays, no staff to help or answer passenger station, even at big international stations especially Reading… I’m a highly Disabled Passenger, half deaf with a very bad leg… Central Staff carried my bags, gave me a full tour, took & acted on ALL feedback. Shows what you can do with a young internationalmixed Team, gave some TEFEL tips & had free: Spanish, Thai, Portuguese - & YORKSHIRE language fun language lessons.

The location was great and the facilities were well-maintained. They seem to have a lot of activities for those who would like to stay for a long period.

The lockers don't work with every lock— it has to be a padlock with a thick shackle. They were kind enough to loan me one for my stay, but I'm pretty sure you usually have to pay for those. The only other problem I had was with the washrooms, which sometimes would get backed up and because guests wouldn't notify the staff, they didn't deal with them very quickly.

Great friendly staff, willing to help you with everything you need. Everything is quite clean and organized. I stayed for 10 days and had a very good experience.

Unfortunately there was a noisy night club below our window, so that was tough on some days, but the hostel made sure to provide packs of ear plugs free of charge. Also, on hot nights the room didn't get enough ventilation even with all windows open, so that's a point for them to consider.

Hostellife is made great by good staff. Rhey were friendly, serviceminded, enjoying themselves tto abd that showed in the leven of hapiness. Thanks Gustavo! You made it more pleasurable! Showers are good, location and it gets nice and quite around 11... perfect! Free breakfast with croissants..oh..and always (!) excellent coffee!

Matrasses are decent but the wooden board its put on makes it really uncomfortable, for an old body like mine.

Great hostel, friendly staff and clean good commune areas. Rooms are spacious, shower good with shampoo supplied, area to dress and towels at no cost. Stayed with my 16 yr old son in dorm room. Ear plugs supplied and needed as one guy did snore. Beds a little uncomfortable but easy walk to town, right near bus and train stations and very clean. Kitchen, dinning room and t.v room very comfortable, bags stored on day of check out at no cost.

Just the beds mattress a little thin.
