Oxford is a city that is conveniently reached from London but is not big enough to be its own separate destination. Because of this rather unique classification, what few hostels the university city has are fairly low-priced and geared towards the wayward backpacker.
YHA Oxford is a great hostel located very close to the train station where you can find a bed for $24. Every YHA strives to be oriented towards the young and the energetic, providing their own restaurants and bars where their guests can comfortably enjoy themselves. This specific YHA also has a garden and a cafe bar. For those looking to absorb the most history while staying in the city, YHA is conveniently located within reasonable walking distance to the colleges of Oxford, and the Ashmolean Museum. Every guest is encouraged to start his or her day with the hostel's hosted breakfast.
One of YHA's downsides is that they do not offer free wifi, and individual purchases of Internet time can add up quickly. Central Backpackers is proud of the fact that they are the only hostel in Oxford to offer free Internet to its guests. For $31 you can get a room in one of the city's most popular hostels that is very well located on Park End, one of the most lively streets in the city that features restaurants, pubs and clubs. The main train station is within easy walking distance, hardly even requiring a cab to reach it, and every historical site of the city is accessible as well, including the colleges, museums and galleries that go alongside a lively, student-dominated nightlife. Because of its proximity to the colleges and nightlife, this hostel is perfect for those who are looking to indulge in the best of after-hours Oxford, while those who value their night's sleep might want to be a bit more removed from the city center.
