The Brownston Hostel

Very well equipped and clean kitchen Only 3 people dorms at same price of bigger dorms in other structures

Not really well insulated rooms

Great location. It is newly refurbished, I believe, so it is clean, spacious, and comfortable.

It's slightly pricier than other hostels, but good value for money

Handy, easy to be in, great to have ensuite bathroom. Excellent kitchen and dining/meeting facilities Right next to New World, and stones throw from everthing, including the lake. No need for a car. Right opposite the best bookshop on the planet! So warm! So private, and super sunny.

The doorsnto rooms were heavy and so were incredibly loud as people Entered or exited their rooms at all hours. However, i was in a small corridor which minimised the amount. Insufficient parking- outside is 30 min parks suitable for unloading/loading but no monitoring of these. But, outweighed by free parking close by. Receptionist not always there in hours with no notice where they are or how long away they’d be. But, super friendly, super helpful.

Comfy bed and close to shops and restaurants

Heating was too slow and didnt start until 6pm Good for light luggage, too small for bags and there is no wardrobe

Little glass tray above sink, could not wash face , could have a little table or shelf in room to put items .

The tv has been taken out of the room
