Great stay. Beds are clean and well maintained. Rooms all have radiotors that work very well. The place is bang in town within easy walking distance of everything. A very good place to stay, not rowdy at all and staff are very helpful.

Nice place, but lots of noisy party people. Probably what you'd expect in Newcastle, but just be warned.

Had an amazing new year at this hostel! just round the corner from main clubs and train station, was cheap, common room was a great place to meet new friends, staff were friendly and always willing to help, and rooms were well kept. This was my second time staying at this hostel and it certainly wont be my last!!

Would be great if there were lockers in the dorms. Also there only seemed to be one hotplate in the kitchen that worked well enough to cook on. The free wifi was great, and the common room was good too.

Only thing missing was a locker in the room. Furthermore, a great hostel! Lovely, spacious rooms (really liked the high ceilings and the fireplace), nice kitchen, good facilities and really close to the train and city centre.

I stayed with a group of 6 other girls and we loved this hostel! .... Was in a great location and staff were very friendly! The hostel had a friendly atmosphere and the rooms were very clean! We had a brilliant time and would definitely come back if we visited Newcastle again! The only negative comment we could make was the fact that there was only 2 plug sockets in an 8 bedded room!

I have been to Newcastle numerous times to watch premier league games, and I will not go past this hostel! It is great, close to the train station, close to St James Park, close to the nightlife. Stay at this hostel but book early because it is always sold out! :D
