YHA Okehampton - Partner

Super friendly, good clean basic affordable accommodation.

The location and the price were good

The shower pressure was really not good

Great location, convenient check in, reasonable price.

No duvet covers, or pillow covers. Just plain. Also, the shower could have done with a soap dispenser.

A large number of a 20 strong motorbike group stayed here overnight. The receptionist was top-notch and booked us in methodically without a fuss. The whole place is clean, modern and well decorated. A lovely conversion of an old train station annexe building. The room was a decent size with two pairs of bunks, a private bathroom including shower with plenty of hot water and pressure,just what you need after a sweaty day in the saddle. The onsite cafe did lovely coffees because the reception machine needed to be cleaned and serviced. They were trying out the idea of cooking pizzas in the evening The lady in the cafe kindly made me and my friends coffees in the morning despite not actually being open. Apparently, the pizza idea wasn't a great success. Maybe some promotion might help? There is a large car park which, although not secure, is far enough from prying eyes due to the hostel's location that we didn't have any concerns re the security of our motorbikes. It's quiet at night and the trains don't run too late. The whole place makes you feel you're in the countryside which is nice.

Non operational coffee machine I'm reception when I was gagging for a coffee, but the gent in the cafe saved the day. The laminate floor in our bedroom ( last on the right before the lounge upstairs) had gaps between the planks and the edges were starting to fur, not ideal when bare footed. The bathroom extractor fan ran for a long time after turning off the bathroom light. Noticeable in such a quiet location £79 for the room is still the best part of £20 per person if fully occupied. It gets expensive as room only when below capacity. That said we had the trifecta of being there on the Saturday night of a bank holiday weekend at the start of half term, so no doubt the price reflects that
