The hostel was quite dirty. There were no cupboards in our room. But definitely a good value for money.

The biggest room is very cheap, but never gets cleaned. A self-catering kitchen would be a major plus. The rest is ok

Il servizio è stato molto buono. non sono rimasto soddisfatto dei materassi e della pulizia trovata all'interno della stanza, con parecchia polvere e ragnatele. colazione ottima e servizio internet un po difficoltoso dalla stanza numero 16. comunque siete stati tutti molto gentili e disponibile. alla prossima

At this hotel I was staying because I work nearby, only night shifts. I was sleeping in day and its was so complicated. I was in shared room with 4persons, it was okey no problem with them. But inside the hotel is a so noise from outside - cars, buses and also from inside hotel. Room is small, no space for luggage. Very dirty toilets, and cold showers, only in ground floor of the building is hot :D The next problem is with storage your valuable thinks you have to pay secure locker for 1,5£ day..

Maybe start preparing the breakfast earlier, 7:30ish as not everybody start late, if you have got a 8:00 o clock start one has no breakfast. Thank you

DO NOT STAY HERE. It was rubbish and it was depressing. Not worth it and too far out of the city, take the money you use to get there to stay at a nicer place.

I enjoyed my stay at the No 8 Hostel. Was really good people there which helped make the stay very enjoyable. The location is decent enough in Zone 3 your not to far from the action. There is also plenty of shops nearby should you need to buy anything...

It was dirty and far away from the center, but easy enough to get into the center by a couple of busses that run 24hours. But it was also really cheap. If you're traveling on a budget, this is a good place to stay.

Needs major improvements on cleanliness, my room smelt like stale cheese. But I guess you get what you pay for.
