Basic but clean. Good value for money. Facilities are lacking but if you just want a base and somewhere to sleep its just right. Location is great.

Nice room and staff
Gars, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not too comfortable

Mattress was really poor and pillows uncomfortable. Some staff really friendly (check in on Friday), others didn't even acknowledge you were communicating with them (black uniform at desk on Monday check out 11am). When checking in I was told check out was 11am, extended my stay by one night (only as the trains back to London were having issues on Sunday) and was not informed check out was earlier on weekdays, so housekeeping walked directly into my room at 10:30 - not housekeepings fault, I should've been informed of this by front desk when I changed. The upstairs guests were incredibly loud through the night and it was a real disturbance. Nice bathroom suite, rare to have a bath for that price. Definitely a budget stay.

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel stay ever

Ok, I know it's a hostel. But I've stayed in private rooms in hostels all around the world and this review is in comparison to them. The room was spacious and ok. The bedsheets and pillows had little stains on them which weren't great. The bed was shocking. I could feel the metal frame underneath. The TV reception was intermittent and some of the functions on the remote did not work. But, I'm well aware that staying in a hostel must b accompanied by elements that are a little rough around the edges, which is why myself and my partner tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. But the noise from the room above was very loud. We asked the hotel receptionist (who was accommodating) to ask them to be quiet (a group of young boys on a trip), but the noise persisted. And the room window was single glazed and ancient. With a nightclub entrance right outside our window there was no hope of sleep. So we left at 00:30. Too late to keep complaining as we had to get up early and too tired to keep faith. This is only the second time we have left an establishment because it was so bad, the first time being a place that resembled the subterranean bunker in The Hills Have Eyes. Better photographer than customer services. This place wasn't that bad, but I would never book again.

Amanda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hostel! I really love the lounge area! It was chill and quiet and had a wonderful coffee shop vibe. I enjoyed my stay; everything was great. The internet was a bit unsteady on the upper floors, but other than that, I'd stay again for sure.
