Pity the hostel is situated in a kind of industrial estate. Staff were very friendly and helpfull; a fire was lit for us in the evening! Everything was very clean, kitchen, sheets, bathroom etc. Unfortunately the building inside was quite dark.

There was no noise control at night and the room was very small and outdated. TV had no channels and the floors were dusty.

When I booked the hostel, the check-in time was 2.00 pm, but it stated that an earlier checkin could possibly be accommodated.I emailed the hostel ,told them that I would ideally like to check in at 10.00 am, and received a reply indicating that this would be fine.I turned up at 10.00 am on the dot, nobody was there to check me in and hung around until 11.00 am when a French traveller turned up and called the number listed on the emergency contact and was told we would have to come back at 2 pm

We had a pretty big room. Breakfast was ok, regular hostel breakfast. The downside was that we had a weird sound in our walls if someone used the bathroom at night. Maybe it were the pipes or something. But it woke us up a lot. On our departure day we couldn't take a shower in the morning (at 7 o'clock) because the showers wouldn't work. Maybe they start working after 8. We were really annoyed by that. The kitchen opens at 8 but you can use it before but you won't have any electricity in there.

This hostel was drab and boring. It has all of the basics you need like a well-equipped kitchen and large dining area, however, there were no security lockers and the showers were awful. There was absolutely no atmosphere in this dark little place. Needs a re-vamp.

The House itself was very nice. It seemed to be clean but on a second look we found dust and spots on the bedlinen. The Breakfast was horrible just one Kind of cereal and One Jam.

Nice place to stay, just a little walk to bus station and town centre. staff were great and considerate. there had no staff in the morning but things were well organised and written clearly. so it's kind of help youself which i felt i was trusted and recalled me the purpose of staying in a hostel. i had great time here!

Need to have staff in the office until midnight. noise level was very high on friday night up to4pm.Suggestion more groundrules for guests to ensure a pleasant stay for all. Breakfast was pleasant meeting all the guests.

Mary was so hospitiable from the moment we arrived. The hostel was quiet due to the time of year, but otherwise it was perfect for us. We had an 8 bed dorm, the beds were so comfortable it was painful to leave them in the morning!! we had a mini kitchenette and our own shower...great space for 6 women getting ready for a night out. Downstairs the kitchen was a great size and the living room was beautiful...we felt right at home! Would highly recommend ..you really get your bang for your buck!

Very good, maybe it laks a bit of familiar atmosphere, but the room was clean and they have good facilities to cook.
