“Great Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

Booked this place for 11 of us for a Stag Weekend over 2 nights. Wasn't expecting much at £15.00 per head per night. Was pleasantly surprised when we got there. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Rooms and facilities clean and just what you need for an over night stay. Even had toast, cereal and tea and coffee available in the shared kitchen to help yourself too. Didn't hear any noise or disruptions from other users. About 10 mins walk from the main drinking area. Would thoroughly recommend to others.

“I would not stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

Room stunk of paint, we all woke up with headaches. We had booked and paid for two nights but only ended up staying for one. We were given the wrong advice about parking when asked and as a result received a parking ticket. Beds uncomfortable and noisy. Heating difficult to control. Showers cold. Shower head was not even fixed so kept flopping down. Very bad experience we did our research before hand but got it very wrong.

“very friendly and helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

very helpful staff booked a taxi for us twice and were patient when our room had not been paid for as thought waited for us to sort it! clean and tidy place, we had never stayed in a hostel before. Our room looked a bit like prisoner cell block h with metal beds but they were suprisingly comfy. we were there in our dresses and a load of backpackers in shorts and trainers but everyone friendly all in all a good stay. we were three sisters sharing a room but plenty of it cant review breakfast as we missed it! but it is available.

Room Tip: i dont think i d want to be in a dorm but this is a backpacking hostel not a hotel and it is good va...

“funky!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

This hostel was really great. It was one of the cleanest hostels ever. Everything is really well laid out, the bathrooms were spacious and everywhere was colourful and cool/inviting colors. It was very funky! The staff are so easy to chat with and meet, they make you feel really welcome and they are very friendly. The bar is cool and that is a great place to meet travelers. The hostel is super close to town, and the hostel does breakfast.

“Nice clean hostel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

Great clean hostel in an excellent location. Great value money wise. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only bad thing was the free wi fi was only available downstairs. The place was really clean as were the bathrooms. We had a five bed room on the top floor and had no hassle at all and were all very happy with the accomodation. the walls are a little thin however so if your a light sleeper I'd bring earplugs!

Room Tip: Higher floors cant get free wi fi
