I’m a frequent hostel user…I was expecting a more civilised place but it’s Sat night in Newcastle and the hostels near the Bigg Market! So I can’t blame the hostel for getting virtually no sleep. The room was super basic but the bedding was clean, all fine. It was a long trip to the loo, but so it goes. The noise through the night from other guests was dire, shouting etc.not least the couple constantly making out in the next room…bed right up against the wall so vibrations along with noises off!

Staff were great, the bathrooms were not clean and the toilets don’t flush properly. Also kids were running around the hostel the last night I stayed there and you could feel the building shake

Got the job done but it wasn’t very atmospheric. Staff was really nice and helpful to be fair, and everything was fairly clean, the vibe was just okay.
