I have never written a review for any hotel/hostel I have stayed in previously however good or bad but I feel that the severity of the way this hostel treats its occupants, warrants a warning to anyone thinking of staying here. DON'T! The saga begins before you even arrive. We phoned the hostel to inquire about the likely hood of... More

Upon arrival we were picked up by Bob the caretaker who,... More

This place is shocking, no ovens, no clean tea towels, the owner called Vince, is a complete Spawn of satan and needs to get anger management. Mice in the kitchens, bedrooms with stains on carpets, dirty linen given to me, smashed crockery given to me, when I arrived. One of the girls who arrived there before to get work advised... More

This place is absolutely a no go!!!!!! They phone you up, guarantee you work, they demand rent as soon as you turn up, and that's the last you'll see of them for the whole week. THERE IS NO WORK! The owner is called Vince, a gruesome man, who swears every other word, we even heard a story of him threatning... More
