Ideal for those on a...
Liked: It was expected from a hostel. It was a clean bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked plenty of breakfast choice and array of different milks, teas, coffee maker , yogurts, fruit juices, some fruit. White and brown bread various preserves. Use of cooker, microwave, air fryer etc . We were able to take our dog. WiFi was good
Disliked: The shower curtain wasn’t long enough to stop water from dripping onto the bathroom floor. Tv in room wasn’t set up and the stand was broken.

Poor
Liked: It is cheap compared to the other options in town although the gentleman was trying his best.
Disliked: I was there 2 years ago and it had changed at al, if anything, it felt like a step back. It was cold in the kitchen, mould in the bathroom, soft mattress, youth hostel style from the days I was young...it really could do with an upgrade

Very poor
Liked: Location is great, right in the middle of town. Ample parking on the streets around if necessary. Easy to find and easy access to the hostel. Kitchen was well equipped.
Disliked: Would not recommend staying here, beds were extremely uncomfortable in my opinion. The mattress was thin and worn, sank through the metal bars of the bed. Bathroom seemed clean but I didn’t use the shower so cannot say anything on that. The kitchen was well equipped but not clean and no clean cleaning supplies to be found. There were painting supplies and open paint canisters laying around as if it was being renovated. Did not use the breakfast as I did not feel safe to.
