Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I enjoyed my stay very much the only thing I would say was a bit of a letdown was the breakfast I thought that was terrible apart from the Saturday everything else I was very pleased with. Only advice I would say is when somebody has to check out of there room you need somewhere to store your bag if you are not leaving the area straight away. They have a cupboard but anyone has access to it. I think before you can take your bag it should be like a cloak room where you have your coats you have a ticket what matches the bag because anyone can walk out with anyone's bag which would bring issues and police it's a simple System but effective that's all I can say about this

Basic but nice.

Simple, easy to find hostel. Had a single room in the annex which was really quiet & out of the way. Breakfast on Sunday was very simple, just cereal, toast, tea & coffee. Free wifi. Secure access to both the building & room. For the price, I can't really fault it.

Incredibly rude staffs, fine room, good breakfast

I booked it on the app but the system was tangled so they didn't have my name on the list. Most of the staffs were unecessarily rude. When I checked out, I was asked to come back later in a very rude way and they just kept chatting. The room was fine. It was like a student dorm. The breakfast was good as well.
