I liked my private room. I stayed 3 nights and really appreciated the simplicity of the facility. Everything you need is there.

Will stay here again
Posted 18 Aug 2019 on HotelsFirst time in a youth hostel as an adult (and since the 80s) was a surprisingly pleasant experience. A private twin room for myself and my 12 yo daughter was great, shared facilities not too much of an issue even though the place was busy.
Could do with more fridge space for guests, but ambient storage is plentiful, and the kitchen area and supplies ample for everyone.
Location is great: within easy walking distance of the bus station for the able-bodied even with a heavy suitcase in tow, 10 minutes walk from 3 supermarkets and multiple takeaway food outlets (all independant, no chains), and within 10 minutes to the town centre and major attractions.
Staff were available during advertised hours; friendly and efficient whenever encountered

Very friendly place and in a great location. On town service bus route on the hour until 6.00pm but everywhere was within walking distance.

Staff were excellent and accommodating. Great value for the money if you just need a clean bed. Didn't like large communal area. Too many people using foul language. Dishes and utensils not clean.

Hi there thank you for your review, I am very sorry to hear other guests foul language and not cleaning up after themselves, I am sorry if this has put a damper on your stay I will raise this with the site manager to address

Convenient location. Kitchen had all of the amenities necessary, but fridge space was limited and fridges were not clean. Private room was basic, but had everything needed. Only concern was not having staff available earlier in the day for checkin, and when I sent the hostel an email earlierthrough the booking program, I did not receive an answer.
