Great location, selection of beers, and local food, also very appropriate service in terms of bedding lockers and rooms. Very kind and helpful staff. Showers were awful, one was broken, a toilet was loose, lots of grime on the walls. The showers were operational but that is about it. Hallway flooring in first floor looked dreadful. Great experience for meeting local people, place has a nice buzz and comes across as hip.

Can’t recommend this hostel. Only plus is the location. Rooms are tiny. If a few people have more than carry-ons,space is an issue. Lockers are small,unstable and noisy. Bathrooms were the worst:two leaking, poorly fixed toilets and only two usable showers, one without a lock. Everything was very dirty and not cleaned during my 5-day stay. There was stuff in the room that belonged nobody. Also, the hostel doubles as a pub=the bar is the reception. A unpleasant and unacceptable place to stay at...

I was here two years ago and I had a really good experience so I decided to stay here this time too. Unfortunately it was not as positive this time. The restroom was dirty (with poop) and only one shower on three was working (one looked like a work in progress. The room was the same but the bedsheets were extremely thin and damaged, and the lockers were far away from the bed, and there was no way of locking them. I had the opportunity to stay elsewhere so I left shortly after checking in.

Lovely location, great pub and wonderful Lebanese take away next door. Stayed here for two nights, had a great stayed other than the water had some issues so a stand up wash in the sinks were the best to offer. The first night cold water and the second zero/no water at all. As I were leaving the service men were trying to repair to problem. Bar downstairs is great but super pricey, spirit and mixer could set you back just short of 10 bob£ so a little steep. Good staff though 😊

Cute Area. It was a nice to stay. The room was clean. The bathrooms were old and not clean all the time. I stayed there while the week and not at the weekend. Down was a pup and I slept very well I didn’t hear anything. To enter the hostel you always have to go through the pup and all of the people.

Lo único que no me gustó es que no tienes cortina para más privacidad en tu cama como en otros hostales y los baños muy descuidados y algo sucios. Fuera de eso todo bien

the staff were lovely and always happy to help. however the cleanliness of this place is quite poor. you’d have a shower and immediately feel dirty after, the toilets were always filthy and the ground was always wet/sticky. there’s no curtains on the bunk beds and we had the unfortunate situation where an older gentleman laid completely nude without a blanket so that was definitely a site to wake up to (two younger female). the bathrooms pictured in the listing are for the private rooms.

My 1st time in a hostel, can't say I'd do it again, however can't knock the place, great friendly staff, lovely clean beds, excellent location. Just not my cup of tea sleeping so close to lots of strangers. My tip is to take a padlock. So you can lock your belongings away in the bedroom safely

The room I was supposed to stay in smelled terrible, I tried using the bathroom and it was dirty and smelly. I am not a picky person but after 15 minutes I ended up going to a hotel instead. Could not stay there. I was sad and it cost me a lot of more money, but I couldn't stay.

Great location and amazing food, but security is awful. On my first night a few items went missing, and on the second my wallet was stolen from my locked locker. Staff said they’d check CCTV but never did, even after I gave them the thief’s bed number. There’s even a warning sign about past break-ins, so this clearly isn’t new. A real shame, as it could be a great hostel but it feels unsafe. Look elsewhere.

There were moldy sandwiches on the windowsill that the cleaning lady "overlooked" for at least 10 days

Cool atmosphere as the hostel is in a pub (and without loud noise preventing from sleeping), very convenient location, beds rather comfortable for hostel standards. The cleanliness of the bathrooms could be better though.

The hostel has a convenient location and good prices. However, if you’re hoping to make social connections, this isn’t the place. Unfortunately, there are many homeless people around. The cleaning is minimal: only two showers (with a strong smell of urine) for the entire hostel, and hallways full of dirt. The bedroom was also dusty, place your clothes anywhere and they’ll pick up grime immediately.

Die Lage und alles andere war super. Leider waren die Zimmer nicht besonders sauber und gepflegt, und die Bäder teilweise echt eklig… alles andere war aber top!

Staff was friendly, but the facilities were not very clean. I don’t think the shared room or bathrooms get cleaned very often.

If you’re looking for one step above a homeless shelter this is your place. Many odours in the dorms, no ventilation, limited lockers so you can’t secure your things, the sheets were old and paper thin so you can smell the last person who slept on your mattress. Please deep clean the dorms. A positive were the staff were very friendly and attentive!

We stayed in the 9 person room. There were no curtains for privacy, the toilet seats were not screwed on, it was hot with no airflow, and there was limited shower space (plus there was a broom in one of the showers because water would pool in a divot in the floor. The people downstairs were nice, but the hostel itself was terrible. We left a night early because we couldn’t spend a second night there.

This is the worst of the worst when it comes to hostels. They have really cramped bed with no luggage storage and no curtains. I’d understand if it was a £10 hostel, but this place was actually kinda pricy compared to most hostels I’ve stayed at. I’ve never seen more disgusting bathrooms and showers too—you can’t even sit on the toilet seat upstairs without falling in! Staff were nice and beer was good, that’s about it. We left a night early it was so bad.
