- Jamesy180 (8/5): - Staff are friendly. Yeah, it's sort of basic.
But it's a good wee place. Plenty of shops and takeaways within a short walk. Kitchen is a very good size, and very clean. Yes, it is a budget hostel. But its a good hostel in a good location. Not being able to stay longer. I need to stay in hostels til I find a permanent place to stay, but this hostel doesn't allow any more than 7 days in a row.

- Kätzel (1/5): Nie wieder - Das Highlight des Aufenthaltes war der Tag an dem ich wieder abreisen konnte. Toiletten und Baderäume waren extrem dreckig und unhygienisch. (Schlimmer als auf einem Festival) Schlafräume waren auch komplett heruntergekommen. Andere Gäste haben sich benommen wie Schweine.

- VIGIL (10/5): -
- Stephen (10/5): -
- Peter (6/5): Good to use as a crash - pad - It was in a good location near the railway station, University and botanical gardens and shops.
The staff couldn’t do enough to help you.
The rules seemed to be strict (but sometimes, I was unsure if they were actually being enforced). The long steep stairway was difficult to traverse, especially with luggage.
The fact that there was only one set of (unisex) toilets and showers and they weren’t on the same floor as my bed.
There was no micro-Wave oven in the kitchen.
The kitchen shut early and didn’t open until 8am.
There were residents who didn’t appear to be travellers and their personal habits and situation was not what I had expected at a hostel for bona fide travellers.

- Tran (8/5): -
- Elisa (1/5): -
- Michael (7/5): -
- Avery (10/5): -
- Landu (8/5): -
- H Panesar (6/5): Passable but a lot of things need improving - The man at reception was very friendly and polite.
There were some areas to relax and free tea and coffee. There are curtains in the room. The place in general feels very outdated like from the late 80s, early 90s. Could definitely do with a touch up. The showers at the top seemed to have a little mould. It needs a deep clean. The cages to store bags are very squeaky and it wakes you and others up. The walls are super thin so you can hear a lot in the corridor. There was a lot of noise in my room with guests talking in the early morning. Staff please debrief this more to guests when they checkin.
Also the price was around 34gbp for me for one night which i booked on good Friday but that is an extortionate jump and it doesn't justify what youre getting overall.
- Andrzej (10/5): - Że oprócz dużej kuchni,salonu,wielu pryszniców. To jeszcze na zewnątrz z tyłu na podwórku jest wymurowany z cegły ładniefektowny grill. WOW !!! Nie często przy wynajmowaniu pokoi zdarza się coś takiego,gdzie można sobie zrobić takiego super grilla. Że nie ma trochę więcej takich miejsc.
