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

Liked: Staff & service
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.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
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.

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,
