Liked: Good location, right behind the train station. Tidy and clean. The breakfast buffet is good, though not free, still worth of money. Luggage can be put in the locked cage in the luggage room which I feel secured
Disliked: one of the staff, a guy, is not friendly, like he didn't want to talk a word more and never look at people when talking, but other staff are find. Wifi is not free, quite expensive at all, which I think is the same for all YHA hostel

Liked: The room is clean and comfortable. The breakfast here is worth the value of money and it tastes not bad. I like the location very much as it is just near the railway station. Overall, it is a good hostel and I will recommend it to all my friends and family.
Disliked: The staff is not friendly enough as she didn't want to answer our questions well. We asked her which places we should go and is there any night tour in the city, she just answered us she don't know anything about it. We feel abit lost as this was the first time we came to oxford and don't know where should we go.

Liked: Comfortable bed, helpful staff, friendly atmosphere
Disliked: The wifi fee is unreasonably high. But even if you dont mind paying for it, you cannot use it in your room, but in the lobby only. But even if you dont mind bothering going downstairs to the lobby every time you want to access the internet, you would probably not be able to find a seat becasue there would be a bit busy. The wifi problem just stop me to pay the yha membership because i can hardly choose to stay in other yha again if the problem's never been solved.

Liked: Location: it's just behind the train station, and without walking distance to the City centre.
Disliked: We were put onto 2nd floor and no lift is available. That's really a nightmare for people who travel with heavy luggage. Also ladies at the reception is not friendly at all. Last, the hostel don't provide any amenities, toiletries or wifi access. We have to pay every single item, which charge very costly. GBP 1 for 40 mins wifi access, GBP for borrowing towel, soap and shampoo etc... So the total cost is just as much as if we were going to book hotel opposite!
