The location of the hostel was unbeatable, just a short walk from the train station and close to all the attractions in town. the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to offer advice and suggestions. the hostel was clean and well-maintained, with modern facilities and comfortable rooms. One of the best aspects was the rooftop lounge/bar area, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the views.
The lack of elevator, meaning you had to climb three flights of stairs to get to the rooms and common areas. some of the bed linen in the dorms was not very clean, and the carpets were quite dusty, causing allergies and making the night uncomfortable.

I recently stayed at a backpackers hostel in Oxford and had a fantastic experience. The place was spotless and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The hostel had a well-equipped kitchen where guests could cook their own meals, and there was also a cozy common area for working, studying, or socializing with other travelers. On Mondays, they even hosted movie nights with complimentary popcorn! The toilets and shower rooms were always kept impeccably clean. The staff were super friendly and always went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and cozy the premises were. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting the area.
There was absolutely nothing I didn't like about my stay! 😊

From the moment we arrived, the friendly and cute atmosphere made us feel right at home. Thenice and neat beds were a dream to sleep in, and having USB charging ports near the beds was a convenient surprise. The common areas were bright and inviting, and we especially enjoyed the rooftop lounge/bar area. The staff were really nice too show us around and explain all the facilities, making our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this budget accommodation for its great staff, comfortable rooms, and central location.
