While was on a hill, there is a bus stop directly across the street with 3 bus lines into town. We walked into town (15mins) and took the bus back (5mins). Bus costs 1GBP single trip, 1.40GBP return. Must buy something from the cafe/bar for 1hr of wi-fi. We rented a 4-person en suite room for 3 of us. Our room smelled strange and was dusty (we all had sneezing fits) but good enough for one night. Didn't try to use cooking facilities or eat anything there. Would do a short stay there again.While was on a hill, there is a bus stop directly across the street with 3 bus lines into town.

extremely noisy room location between door tha was banging every time anybody goes through and toilet with extremely noisy flush and very thin walls. adjecent en-suite bathroom convenient - larger than room itself! Moldy smell. tiny room with bunk bed - no place to sit confortably really. A bit pricey for what was offered. extremely noisy room location between door tha was banging every time anybody goes through and toilet with extremely noisy flush and very thin walls. adjecent en-suite bathroom convenient - larger than room itself!

Our room (26) was situated in outside the actual hostel. It was very very very small, and surely not worth the 26 pounds for the 1-night stay.Our room (26) was situated in outside the actual hostel. It was very very very small, and surely not worth the 26 pounds for the 1-night stay....Close

My sister and I had hiked the Cotswold Way trail and it was a great place to finish the trip. Good transportation back to London!My sister and I had hiked the Cotswold Way trail and it was a great place to finish the trip. Good transportation back to London!...Close

For the standards of a YHA - this was quite average. The beds and amenties weren\'t clean and lots of noise from a group of lads.. What was typical of a YHA - the location was more than out of the way, not much \'fun\' and the hot breaky was good.. For the standards of a YHA - this was quite average.

Although the hostel is located far up the hill,we are still impressed by the overall character of the hostel!! Clean and tidy place, friendly and helpful staff, great security...everything in here worth your single penny, 5 star rating from my group !!

Lovely building but appears to be run down and not well maintained. Is quite far from city centre up a very long hill - would take 20-40 minutes to walk. Kitchen was the worst equipped I have come across - not many utensils/pans etc and many things were broken. Room (we had bunks in private room with ensuite) was okay - although quite old and grimy looking - windows didn\'t close properly and walls/windows were dirty. Comfy bed with clean fresh bedding. Shower was pretty good. Okay for 1 night.Lovely building but appears to be run down and not well maintained. Is quite far from city centre up a very long hill - would take 20-40 minutes to walk.

This hostel was an okay hostel. It was located far enough away from town and up a steep enough hill that walking to it was almost out of the question, and taking a bus was necessary. It was clean and the staff was friendly though. And the food they offered (although not free for anything) was decent enough.This hostel was an okay hostel.

Great staff and good facilities but up a super steep hill from the center of town - do not attempt it with your luggage, take the bus for £1 from the bus station, it\'s worth it!Great staff and good facilities but up a super steep hill from the center of town - do not attempt it with your luggage, take the bus for £1 from the bus station, it\'s worth it!...Close
