Excellent location for shops, transport and the park for a walk. The staff I met were very nice and helpful. The social area was great with lots of room etc. and the facilities in/for the dorms were good. I wish there were notices (on the walls or on the paperwork), however, asking people to be considerate of others. Playing games on telephones/eating noisily are no fun for others at well past midnight when you're trying to sleep. It's bad enough with snorers!

PHOTO ID REQUIRED - not stated until arrival. This is a hostel and we were required to provide photo ID (passport/driving license) on arrival which were NOT stated in any hotels.com literature provided. Usually in the UK you are never required to carry these documents but luckily we had passport photocopies available on email on our phones. Staff were fine, location was great, room was noisy as underneath a multi-occupancy hostel room with people arriving and clomping about until all-hours.

Average Stay – Basic but Not Comfortable

Overall, my stay at this hostel was pretty average. The facilities are basic, nothing particularly noteworthy. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very comfortable—I struggled to sleep because guests would come into the room making a lot of noise late at night. The breakfast offered (a croissant, ham, and coffee for £8) wasn’t very nourishing or good value. If you’re looking for a place just to crash for a night or two it’s fine, but don’t expect much in terms of comfort or atmosphere.
