I stayed here in a mixed dorm and had one of the best locations I could have hoped for such good value. Friendly staff and a great stay. Internet isn't great

I had a really good stay. You always know what you're getting with the YHA, and this was no exception. The food at the bar was really good, and there was plenty of space in the self catered kitchen. Cleanliness was marked down because of the shower. The rest of the building was pretty good, but I think there maybe weren't enough showers for the number of rooms there, so meant they got grim very quickly.

The accommodation was great value for money. As we were a large group of 3 males, 3 females and one trans there were lots of options for rooms so that everyone had a safe space to stay
