    Myself and my partner stayed here for one evening last weekend and we found the accommodation to be excellent. We were greeted with a friendly smile and made to feel at home instantly. The hostel is spotlessly clean and the facilities excellent. There is a fully functioning kitchen and dining area which would be handy if staying for more than one evening. The hostel is centrally located also. We will definitely be back! :)

    There is nowhere to put a cup down. It didn't bother me, but may bother others.

    Central location.. clean, functional, and comfortable. Not that it made any difference, I noted there is no TV in the room. The lady on reception was very helpful and pleasant to deal with.

    Well, due to my age I found the bunk over the double bed a little close for comfort and banged my head a lot! But I can understand the reason for it!

    Oat or other plant milk would be great. And a few condiments like ketchup and cooking oil would be useful too.

    The place is completely spotless, not a scuff mark on it. The economy double twin bunks room is a bit small, but it's functional, clean and exceptionally well-maintained. The ensuite bathroom's shower was bigger than I expected too. The social area is large and comfortable, and the kitchen is immaculate.

    Fire Exit sign above the door illuminates the whole room when all the lights are off, had to use a pair of my trousers to cover it and the difference it made was unbelievable! Also had annoying flashing green light above the bed which is offputting when trying to sleep. Bed itself was comfy enough although did feel the sheets and pillows weren't of the best quality and did feel too warm at points throughout the night which made for a stop/start night's sleep. Right next to the road so traffic noise is unavoidable so if youre a light sleeper like myself i would bring ear buds and an eye mask.

    Lovely, welcoming, friendly staff. Great shower. Clean premises. Excellent value for money. Central location - only 5 mins walk (if that!) from city centre. Nice, cosy and warm inside.
