A comfy stay, a clean place. It’s close to the bus stop. When you arrive at the train station, it’s easy to take the bus and it will arrive very near to the location. Just need to cross the road. The staff also very quick to respond to messages.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

We had 2 rooms for one night, I usually choose a chain hotel but the Remont Oxford Hotel ticked more boxes at a cheaper price. Our rooms were spotlessly clean, lovely cotton bedding, comfy bed, quality tea bags, biscuits and toiletries and very quiet! The buffet breakfast was exceptional. We appreciated the safe, free parking and the location with bus stops to and from the city centre close by. Would definitely stay there again.

The apartment was as described, great location, quiet and we felt safe in the area. It was very clean, warm and suitable for our 2 night stay. It was easy to find from the directions given by the owners, the directions to get into the apartment were very clear, easy to follow and it was within easy walking distance to the centre of Oxford.

The best hostel I've stayed at by far ! It's very cosy and the staff was very welcoming and helpful. Rooms, bathrooms and kitchen had everything you might need and were always clean. You can feel this hostel goes that little extra mile to improve their guests' stay and it's great.
