Bradley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location is as good as it gets, and the price was fair. The bathrooms were new and cleaned though the hostel has two online listings since it is split into two unconnected buildings on either side of the road. The Belushi part of the hostel has 0 common spaces and the common spaces in the original building where the main reception area is located are tiny. There is no kitchen of course and breakfast isn't included. Laundry was £4 per wash and £4 per dryer which is fair, though there are only two machines for each, and each cycle is in excess of 1 hour. The staff were friendly and professional though I wouldn't return again since this is more of a commercial hostel and frankly the interior is very drab and clinical. reception area a
Jonathon, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I honestly love this place, cut through the train station, across the road and 2 min walk, perfect. The staff are always there for whatever you need. The breakfast might not be a hot one, but definitely worth the price, and the cartoons are hilarious - I’m a big kid at heart. I know hostels aren’t for everyone, but if ya’s are in a group, it’s a lot easier… Bar across the road serves breakfast and has awesome prices with the wee deal card. Apart from one other place I’ve found, this would be my choice!
Lisa, 1-night trip

It was clean, close to the railway and a lot of things were at walking distance.

Johanna, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was ok to stay in
William, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The toilets barely worked. It’s a cheap option for a night or two but wouldn’t want to stay any longer. Just a place to rest your head at night, despite the bed being too hard for my taste. I spent most of my time sightseeing so I only needed the room late at night and early morning. Wish there was a better, private area to change
Colleen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I saw someone cleaning the toilets and showers every day which was nice to know was being done. Bottom bunk curtains only cover about half of the actual bunk, so they don't offer as much privacy as the middle and top bunks. Just something to be aware of. Bring your own lock for the lockers if you don't want to have to buy one from the front desk.
Paige, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Nothing new, but I always check the bag and put on the lock while I go to the toilet, shower, or breakfast. Like I pick locks and unlock, repeat. However, the local travel is very good area for gardens, castles, shopping and museums.

8/10 Very good

Location
Elias, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

While excellent location and friendly staff, bathrooms were smelly, toilets often didn’t flesh, no garbages in them for women, no simple hook on the wall for belongings. No kitchen, only a mini fridge to accommodate the masses. The reception area was cute but that was about it. Expected a bit more for the price
Melodie Michelle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super Duper Economical Hostel

Absolutely fabulous Customer Service at all times from staff, super value for money continental breakfast and great location!
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is really convenient, nearby every tourist attraction places. However the toilet is not too clean. But I only stay for 2 nights so it’s acceptable
