Central Backpackers, Oxford, England

It is quite nice, the staff is friendly, also it is quite clean.
They provide an acoustic guitar the guests can use.
For me the problem was the noise from the night club. This may depend on the room one stays in - the ones facing the road (noisy) or the other ones ...
