The accomodation was quite familiar and very friendly. I liked the victorian style of the building and the well situated location.

We stayed in Room7 which is a dbl ensuite. The shower is pretty poor and the room is basic but as a base for venturing out it is ideal. The owner was friendly and made us feel welcome. As we were only there for a couple of days we didn'y really utilse the lounge and kitchen area but both looked good and functional.

Fantastic location. Great communal lounge and kitchen, with free tea/coffee (lots of posters with rather defensive kitchen rules though). No parking so have to search for parking on road. Very expensive for a hostel and what you get. Lots of very weird (and worrying) rules. Overall "OK" as a bed for the night, but don't expect much more than that.

Owner Comment (Show)
£38, double en-suite, as much tea and coffee as you can drink, as many showers as you want free internet in a grade 2 listed victorian building with rules such as dont disturb guests sleep, and clean up after yourself, loose keys and you will be charged, keep the noise down after 10pm and you will be charged for the clean up if you throw up in the bathrooms!, kitchen signs, clean up after yourself..which is generaly ignored resulting in 3/5 for cleanliness! Still you cant please all the people all of the time, please read other guests reviews before reacting to this comment thankyou.
