St Ives Backpackers Reviews

I am 62 and had bought a motor bike off ebay so just needed a room for 1 night, the character of the building is fantastic as is the atmospheer of the place As it happens I was the only person staying in the hostel on this occasion but it has a tele, darts, pool table plus numerous games to keep you occupied. My only gripe was that the shower cubicles looked as if they had not been cleaned since the last guest had left in late 2011, but if I had wanted a shower I would have cleaned it myself.

staff a bit rude but otherwise no problems

I enjoyed my stay here. As expected the accommodation was basic, however was in reasonably good condition (if a little worn down in places), and pretty good value for this standard of accommodation at this time of year... The location was excellent and I liked my surroundings - the building certainly had plenty of character! The staff were friendly and fairly welcoming, though could have been a bit more communicative. Overall I'd recommend this hostel, assuming you have realistic expectations!
