One of the cosiest hostels I've ever been. Freindly and helpful Lucy. Big library, 2 cats, amazing balcony with flowers. Free WiFi. We stayed in a double room with Fan, was ok, since wasn't that hot at that time. The only problem is that windows didn't close properly and early morning was quite noisy. Cold wanter in the shower -... More

Firstly, it's not a homestay! At a homestay, you stay with a family in the family home. This is a guesthouse. We arrived at 8:15pm because the bus from BSB was delayed. Danny in BSB booked us into the place but really we wished he hadn't. We were met on reception by a surly young man who couldn't find our... More

U like the place or u dont like it! Lucy is an aunty and every day is diffrent, sometimes she is in a good mood sometimes grumpy! There are certain rules to follow, but I dont mind it.

Really - a complete babe. She was so chatty and so funny. And helpful to boot. A great place to meet like minded travellers who like to walk in the rain. Great library too. A word of advice: don't drop the tortoise.

On first glance Lucy's feels like being back home; its small, cosy and a couple of rather sweet cats. The library area was a really nice touch too. Bathrooms annoyingly are on the balcony and involve having to squash through the washing machine to reach. However, despite the homey feel I was disappointed to realize that Lucy herself was only...

Cats everywhere, one of which excreted outside of our room. The person in charge stayed in the same dorm as us and kept turning off the fan to save electric when it's boiling hot. Not helpful with advice on where to go. The library area was the nicest. And the bathroom had hair balls everywhere. Not a great experience

Small really cosy and brilliantly decorated place with 3 cats you feel like your at home but the only negative would be that the staff were not very friendly and were always asking people to be quiet. If you want a quiet hostel this is perfect.

Honestly, Lucy Homestay is really a nice cosy home and Lucy really takes care of the place by keeping it clean and neat. But why I will not go back again? Here are some of the reasons : 1. No aircon. Seriously I am not a person who must have aircon but the 2 ceiling fans in the dorm room... More
