I loved it here. Great breaky, great staff, very clean, comfy lounge with games and tv. You have to pay for breaky and Internet access. But it's only 2mins walk from the central bus stop and town center. There are markets every Tuesday, and loads of day trips out which the staff are more than happy to help you out with.

It was my first time to travel alone and I was very nervous, but thanks to the wonderful hostel I slept soundly.

Nice hostel, perfect for travelling to Stonehenge and exploring Salisbury and its amazing cathedral. Facilities were nice and clean, rooms were alright and not very noisy (there were only few people, maybe that's why). Staff was quite friendly and helpful. Location is okay, although it's quite far to walk from the train station. All in all: very good value for money.

Salisbury is a excellent , most clean and beautiful hostel I stay ever!!! The staff is nice, the room and bathroom are very clean. There has 4 cooking spaces that is really nice and equipped :) We chatted and met friend in the kitchen! The have good meals offer as well if you don't want to cook. The hostel location is very close to the centre. For female only 15 minutes walk to the rail station. The hostel front door has an old tree. I hope the hostel can stay for long! I wanna back!!!

It was disappointing that there was no free wifi or breakfast included for the high price we paid. I know it was Christmas time but surely you could have given the guests a little gift for Christmas Day with those as a special bonus!

Judging from the dark splotches on the bed linen, I believed that the hostel has bedbug problems. Seeing and removing one flat, round insect from the mattress gave me the creeps. There was no free breakfast and no free internet access. On the up side, the kitchen there was very well-equipped, and it's a 10mins-walk to the rail station. Overall good value for money.

I really enjoyed my stay , though future guests may want to bring earplugs as the walls are very thin. Very reasonable rate for single room, though it would be nice to have a light by the bed instead of only the bright overnight light. Breakfast was great with nice ambiance. Thanks!

Very expensive hostel, but it is the only choice in Salisbury. Facilities (mainly the internet and wi-fi) and breakfast are at 4-5 star hotel prices. Everything else is good, really clean place. Food is mediocre.

Had a private twin room for 3 nights, everything was great although the walls are quite thin and the sink made a loud slurping noise from time to time. All in all, the most peaceful surroundings ever, friendly stuff, definitely recommended.

worst place i have ever stayed!! bed was very uncomfortoble, made noises on every movement and you couldn't say if it will brake at the next moment!! showers and toilets weren't very clean. laundry was out of order and we really needed to wash our stuff. We had to go to the town-laundry. Staff was nice, but that's all the good to say about this place!

The hostel needs more carefulness to register the genda of guests. Putting me to the male group has resulted in much inconvenience since I need to change room nearly every night . One night, I had to stay on the ground and the stuffy room was full of shoes and feet smell. The soundpproof of the 4-bed cottage, which I was living in for the first two nights, is awful. It was very difficult to fall in sleep. But the staff are very supportive in general.
