Barkston Youth Hostel Reviews

Every time you stay in a \" I don\'t how many even dorms room\" , you can only hope that people would be nice and friendly and not snooring! That time unfortunately, I had all the opposite. But that of course depends not on the hostel management and service. Beds are not very comfortable, it makes a lot noise too. Kitchen is good one. Also I hardly was exhausted before I found my room- and that only just because in check in list the room number is not real, real is on key. 1 minute to metro.

A very cheap price with excellent size rooms. Mine even had a fridge in it! The location was excellent. It was a bit hard to get wifi but there were plenty of computers for use.

Staff definitely not helpful. They tried to charge me more then I was supposed to pay, if i didn't have internet in my mobile to show them the prices I got thru hostelworld there would be no way to pay the price i got online. They gave me wrong information about the city/address of sightseeing locations. Worst staff i've found in europe. Not organized (beds/rooms) - suddenly one day as i got there, there was someone at my bed - they just send u to the room, no bed's number or anything.

Although hostel have very nice location but lot thing need to be improved. The hostel should have taken care of leaking water problem ! No lights in Toilets , Water blocks in bathroom , Water seepage from roof. I staff wasn't available when I called them to inform about problem. I think staff should at least can give a round to hostel to check if all basic facilities are working properly.

Poor kitchen facilities but very friendly staff... I emailed the guards (Zaher) for a resident's contact as I have lost his number and his language group names but have no response =( Having new friends' contacts would complete the stay with a good hostel backpacking experience.

Enjoyed the stay even though there was a squeaky bed. Centrally located to all the destinations.

the carpet is dirty

I liked this hostel very much, the staff was friendly, they even gave me a map when I was going out and directed me to the nearest food shop...room was good and clean... I found it very pleasant, the only thing I did mind was hat there were no dishes in the 4th floor, only a microwave... But I loved staying there and if I happen to need accommodation again, then I'll definitely think about this hostel first
