Hostel super bem localizado, com um staff extremamente simpático e gentil. Bruna e Aimeé foram super atentas e me ajudaram muito durante minha estadia. Limpeza super bem feita, além de ter café e chá disponível o dia todo.
As escadas não são um problema para mim, mas podem ser para algumas pessoas.

El personal es muy servicial. Camas cómodas. Atenciones como café. Las zonas comunas están bien.
Nada en particular.

Super emplacement proche de la station de bus et du centre ville, personnel extrêmement sympathique (vraiment tous!) prêt à t'aider, te conseiller, et joviaux ! Auberge très propre, lit confortable. J'ai vu certains commentaires parler du bruit lié à un bar à côté, personnellement même si début de soirée on entendait des bruits venant du bar, ça s'arrêtait assez vite et ça ne m'a pas du tout dérangé. L'espace commun est vrmt très sympa et convivial. Possibilité de laisser ses bagages après le check out dans un espace sécurisé ! Si je devais revenir à Oxford je choisirais cette auberge sans hésiter.
Nombre de douche insuffisant pour le nombre de personnes dans l'auberge et il manque un miroir dans les espaces douches à mon sens
Dans les chambres les lockers sont vraiment trop petits, ma valise cabine ne rentrait pas dedans, j'avais un cadenas pour ma valise pendant la journée donc ça a été mais je préfère mettre ma valise dans un espace qui n'est pas de la moquette (pour éviter notamment les punaises de lit si il y en a un jour)
Pas de rideaux à chaque lit

・親切なスタッフ
・洗濯サービス(€10以下で洗濯・乾燥までしてくれるのはホステスの中でも便利なサービスだと思いました)
・ベッド下の空間が広め(スーツケースも収まりました)
・シャワー室にシャンプー等の備え付けがあったと思います
・タオルの無料貸し出し
・共用スペース(リビング、テラス)がおしゃれ
・2段ベッド同士の距離が広め
・レセプション、部屋の階までに階段しかない
・時々シャワーのお湯が出にくかった
・ロッカーが小さめ(ブリーフケース、小さめのリュックなら入ると思います)
・近くにスーパーがなく、中心部まで少し歩かないといけない
・近くにナイトクラブ?があり、夜間少し騒がしい時がある(眠れない程ではありませんでしたが…)
・冷蔵庫が少し汚いのが気になりました

Warm, helpful welcome at reception. Lovely terrace with cushions and nice kitchen. Staff were friendly and helpful. Laundry service provided - I didn't make use of it, but many others did. Secure building with keycode and electronic keys. Brilliant location, just a few minutes walk from the station and town centre. Great cafe next door serving good breakfasts. Individual bedside lights and power points. Nice hot showers and plenty of toilets/washing facilities etc.
Bedding was faded with some old baked-in stains. Didn't really bother me, but a possible area for improvement. Also the steps down to the street are quite steep - I have an ankle injury and would have liked better handrails for support. Otherwise zero complaints - I enjoyed my stay.

The other occupants were making too much noise, talking till after the midnight and using hair dryer in the room while others are sleeping at night.

The staff was friendly and the place was clean.
I might have felt more comfortable to be in a dormitory with women only or on my own.
