This is a customer service review. I’d been trying to contact them for days to see if I could change dates (due to Covid). No answer from email or phone. The day before my stay they reply to my email, asking for more details. I’d contacted them through my booking, so thought they would have them. The actual day of my stay they say it is too late to change it. Ok… so maybe answer your phone sometimes, please. I’d be less annoyed at losing the money if they’d given me a chance.

Very central, able to walk everywhere! Room felt tall & clean. Very happy with linens & privacy of our 3bed room. Sink didn’t drain at main vanity, but we (surprisingly) had a tiny second sink in with the toilet. Very friendly staff. Greggs across the street made for easy local breakfast choices. Would 100% recommend this place to family & friends. (But not to high maintenance hoity-toity types - very much a good hostel feel).
