Great little gem of a place

Lovely location. Very handy to walk to restaurants but has facilities to cook if you want. Clean and comfy rooms. Stayed her with a colleague who had never stayed in a youth hostel before. She loved it.

A great and affordable stay

We was greeted by lovely staff who talked us though some information that we needed to know and was given our keys. The room was nice for the price and had a bathroom in the private room which was good. The beds were small but still comfy and the room was cleaned well. Had an issue with our room lock not working but it was smoothly dealt with as soon as reported and we were given another room. Drink prices were cheap and has a lovely nature walk just next to the hostel which was lovely. There is a shop just down the road and the station is very close to the venue. There is also a nice little pub down the road which was nice to visit. A very friendly area with some great views. Would highly recommend!

Neal

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were freindly and extremely helpful. Room was basic but comfortable. Experience was tainted by an occupent upstairs who proceeded to bang on his floor for some time. I contacted reception to complain and the noise did seem to subside after and staff cant be held to account for guests behaviour. Nonetheless, it did spoil my experience and is reflected in this review.

I was allocated a big loft type of room on 1st floor. Due to poor ventilation even late at night and all thru the night it was so warm and hot and could not sleep well. The only one window cannot be opened fully. The room needs to be air conditioned or need a better ventilation system.
