Stayed in here weekend of Feburary 10th with a group of 8 lads. We all shared the one room which was a fine room had two bathrooms which was very handy and the facilities of the hostel were generally good and it was very clean.

A big negative for us was the attitude of the staff during the day. We had a number of dealings with them in reception (leaving bags in, checking in, paying for late check out ect) and not once did we have a positive dealing with the guy working there. On the final day the girl working there was extremely friendly but the two guys who were working on the Friday and the Saturday left us all feeling that we might not come back if we were to stay again as they were just not interested and whenever we were there it felt like we were disturbing them.

ok so as a group of 12 lads we needed somewhere that would take us and we decided on euro hostel in july 2011 and it was a really good enjoyable time, the was nothing negative to take from that trip except the food is as it has just been put in the microwave on order.

so again me and the lads decided to take a trip to newcastle again and automaticaly we all agreed on euro hostal so one of us booked it expept this is when the trouble began, a few days after we had booked it we had an email saying they had overbooked and we did not infact have a room to stay, we rang up and eventually spoke to someone with a clue and realised that email shoudn't have gone to our group, then days later we where told that we had to pay the bill in full straight away overwise we would not have a room, yes we all payed fair enough we thought. we then arrived on the day at the time stated to check in, we where left waiting to check in an hour after we where allowd to but then we thought ok we'll sit in the bar and relax from the long journey we had to get there. when we got our rooms there was a room of 8 on the 3rd floor and a room of 4 on the 2nd floor. now a room of 8 lads on a weekend away is bound to be noisy who ever you are. we soon realiased that we were sharing the 3rd floor with a massive group of exchange students many very young. while getting ready to go out we had the music playing on speakers not excessivly loud, we where told to turn it down which we did. later on we came back from being out and we were in the room chatting when security burst in almost knocking my mate over shouting and threatning us saying we would be thrown out. that night this happend 4 times. but on the 2nd floor and even the 3rd floor there were rooms playing music and being very lound into the early hours of the morning, nothing was said or done to them all the attention was pointed towards us. we spoke to the manager the next day who was not understanding and said they were too full to move us rooms and 1 more complaint we are out on the streets. the second night before we went out we were targated again by the security for no apparent reason

i haven't even mentiond the bloody pillow cases and the shower which filled the bathroom floor with water.

very unhappy with our second stay after having such good memories of our first stay so people if you choose euro hostal i hope you share the first experiance we had and not a repeat of the second stay.

and eat out of the hotel unless you want to use the panini as a door stop!!!!!!!!

This nice hostel in Newcastle is in a reasonable walking distance from the train station and I had no problem at all on finding my way to there. They have a pretty nice lounge, which works as a bar for people that are not in the hostel too. I felt secure there and the place is really tidy and clean. Prices are really reasonable and staff is there to help you 24h a day. Had a pretty enjoyable time there.

4 lads stayed here friday to monday in a private dorm with 2 x 2 bunk beds. Hotel is very clean and the beds comfy with the hotel only being a 10 minute walk to the centre.Would recommend to anyone staying in newcastle if you want somewhere clean cheap and basically somewhere to get your head down. Reception staff werent the happiest . Overall i would return
