“Fabulous Hostel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 July 2010

Absolutely great hostel. Never stayed anywhere like it before in the UK.
Everything was clean, tidy and cosy. My partner and I had a private room which was a little cramped but perfect for what we needed. The kitchen was great we cooked in every night, Sky TV and internet was a suprising bonus and the living room a cosy and lovely place to meet fellow backpackers, all round 8 out of 10!

Just opposite to the train station. 100% self check-in and check out, very interesting experience.

Clean room although very basic. Nothing to complain

“Come here!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2009

Just few minutes' walk from train station and Tourist Info office. Honour system, you get a code via e-mail to get in the door, then deposit payment into safe. Help yourself in well stocked kitchen (dishes, pots/pans, bread, juice, milk, etc) for breakfast. Washer and dryer in kitchen. Very cozy place, felt like we were visiting a friend. Laid back, quiet. Quick walk to restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again.

the location is excellent, near rail station and town centre, only 20mins walk to bowness. i stayed in the private room, so i can lock my room, which is really good.. :) also, there's a wash basin in the room, so it's very convenient. u can have free milk and bread for breakfast... :) good value for money.. BUT there r only 2 bathrooms.. so happy queuing in the morning..!! :)
