Liked: The staff were very friendly and the bar facilities were available 24 hours. The breakfast was very good too.
Disliked: One shower and toilet for a room of 6 is not sufficient. Perhaps, common showers and the toilet on the floor might be more better.

Liked: I really liked the location, the friendly staff and the clean rooms. In general the rooms were perfect for a short stay and you didn't hear the station at all! The self catering kitchen had everything you'd need and was clean and tidy.
Disliked: I was a bit dissappointed, that the breakfast was not included for the price we've paid. Unfortunally it is not very clear to see on the homepage and the hostelbooker pages. I found out, that ther was no breakfast (or 4.95 extra) with comments of other guests.

Liked: Cheapest accommodation we could found in Oxford, but it's much better than we previously thought. It's like a hotel. We had twin room, it's clean and have a private balcony. two minutes from the train station, but still very quite at night.
Disliked: no free wifi

Liked: Best hostel ever! I loved it. The room was big and only 6 well designed beds. It was comfortable and clean and enough space for everything. Ensuit bathroom and toilet. The hostel is well located, easy to find. The keep you big luggages. There,s also library lounge, tvs, computers.
Disliked: It was a bit more expensive than an avarage hostel would be, but there,s much more here so it,s worth it.

Liked: Feels like a hotel. It is very clean, organized, stylish, luxurious, comfortable, etc. The ensuite rooms are just as if you would find in a good hotel.
Disliked: The wifi is extremely expensive. You have to give them an arm and a leg (1 pound) for every 15 minutes. Also, they do not have free breakfast like some other hostels do. And of course, there's the membership fee that you have to pay if you're not a member.
