Ive stayed at the post many times previously and was disappointed how far in standards it had fallen since my last visit. I was left waiting for almost hour before i could check in, the room was dirty and the curtains didnt open so I was in total darkeness the entire time and tv didnt work in room Raised both of these issues with reception who didnt care and basically shrugged their shoulders Will never stay there again.

Helpful staff moved us from a room which opened into the courtyard and was v noisy, to a free upgrade to a gallery room which was much better. Breakfast was good. Rooms great, not the cleanest but we were there at a busy time of year and it is a hostel not a hotel! Staff wonderful.
