Staff were friendly, excellent location, very clean but bit warn round the edges. Mattresses were old and rooms could do with new curtains and paint. Room could have done with a bin aswell. But good price.

The doors to our rooms didn't lock or even shut properly. Our rooms were dirty. Breakfast was supposed to be 9.30-10.30 but on the first day the dining room was locked all morning and no one was there and on the second day no staff appeared until 9.45. The location was quite good as it was close to the promenade but I would not recommend this hostel at the moment. It does have the potential to be quite good if they address the above issues.

The Travellers' Rest is an old building, and has its quirks. All doors lock and shut in the way the guests are shown. The rooms were cleaned on the day of arrival by myself, the manager, and were clean, however were full of feathers when these guests departed. Guests are asked upon arrival that they MUST inform the manager if they would like breakfast. These guests didn't inform the manager so no breakfast was ready. On the second day the door to the dining rooms were open at 8am and the manager was in the kitchen from 9.30 making breakfasts.

Got told when we first arrived that if we didn't want the breakfast we had to let them know, as everyone wanted the breakfast we didn't mention anything. When we got up the next morning we found no breakfast had been made ready. The owner said we were supposed to let them know if we wanted something. Contradiction

When guests arrive they are informed that if they want to have breakfast they MUST inform the manager the day before and also that we need the balance of their booking on arrival. The organiser of this booking asked if he could pay the balance when all his guests arrived. We agreed, however, Niall left to go partying before all his guests arrived, so we were not paid. As the manager was NOT informed that the guests wanted breakfast and the fact that they had not paid, breakfast was not made. Niall paid us at 10am on the morning of departure. We have a sign on show that requests payment upon arrival. On Hostelworld we advertise a continental breakfast, however, on a weekend we do offer a cooked breakfast, if requested.
