Lovely time
Had a lovely time here. My boyfriend and I booked the family room, and it was much more spacious than I was expecting. We were next to the road so there was noise but it was absolutely fine and we slept well! Tip for families: we could feel the mattress springs so we put a duvet on top of the bed to sleep on which was brilliant. Overall, great stay and no complaints.

Very nice but a little warm
The room was fabulous, it was GREAT having the shower and toilet in the room, and it was great having little curtains to provide privacy and cages under the beds for storage (make sure you bring a padlock). Plenty of power sockets near the beds too. The ONLY downside was that the room overlooked the courtyard and any one smoking outside meant that the room smelled mildly of smoke, and whilst I am sure it was possible I was unable to open the windows in the middle of the night when it got very hot as more and more bodies joined the room.

2/10 Poor

PLEASE CONSIDER OTHER PLACES!!! 1. Temperature The place can get terribly hot when it’s just 22 degrees outside and tbh the electric fan they provide WOULD NOT WORK at all. 2. Security Somehow the hostel decided that I was okay to just let DRUNK people check in. I simply just suggested that maybe he could get a shower politely, but that ended up with him arguing with me. leading to me decided to move to another room, yet they somehow moved me to a bed that was ALREADY OCCUPIED, leaving me ALONE carrying 2 suitcases and 2 backpacks around the building! And of course not one of the staff tried to really help me with the suitcases. The staff who let the drunk crazy guy in even told me it’s not that deep! 3. Toilet The shared toilets are of a terrible condition where piles of SOAKED TISSUES would be be dumped on the floor. 4. General Vibe Expected to meet like minded young people, ending up with a bunch of SKETHCY OLD GUYS dwelling in the lounge area. BAD VIBE OVERALL

6/10 Good

The room we had was unbearably hot. it was a Summer night, but the daytime temp had only reached 22C so not the hottest of days. Thankfully there was a fan in the room, but it wasn't very effective and we had to leave it on all night with the window open to feel the effect. This made the room quite noisy with sirens and general traffic from the road. On top of that, the metal framed bed and a paper thin mattress. Every time we rolled over the whole frame would squeak like a balloon so we kept waking each other up. We all had a poor night's sleep and woke in the morning with muscle cramps from uncomfortable bed and headaches from the fan blowing on us. Genuinely couldn't wait to get out of the room just to breath oxygen again. Usually I put up with a lot and adjust my expectations for price, but at £145 for a single night I would rather pay £20 extra to stay in a Premier Inn.

Not the best hostel I’ve visited but ok. Showers have almost no pressure (money saved on water and heating bills) + there is no electrical plug on the upper beds.
