Could use an air freshener in the room... I was put in a little single, and it was a little musty and mouldy smelling.

Great staff, shame some of the stag party groups and college teams staying there are so selfishly loud waking up the other guests deliberately throughout the night,

There was no check-in from 10 am until 5 pm. My friends came late and there was no one working to give them keys to their room. They almost slept on the couches, but luckily we got into their room. Not great place, but cheap option

Very nice hostel! Quiet, clean and very friendly staff - totally worth the money. Only a 10-minute-walk to the city centre. I would definitely stay again :)

I only stayed in a one bed room and it was perfect for what i needed...despite the lack of plug sockets?!not one in the whole room! The doors near to my room banged very loudly too.

Very squeaky bunk beds! Great outdoor garden. Bathrooms ok. About a 15 minute walk from the centre of the city but easy to find. Was unaware about reception opening times - I mustn't have read it properly. Check the opening times before just turning up.
