Liked: The kitchen is small, dirty and lacks bowls and plates The common area is too small for the amount of people staying there as you found it hard to get a seat. The tv room is only open on certain days it seemed to be only when they had movie night. The bedrooms lack power points Overall it was not bad as far as hostels go but it is just too small for the amount of people staying there. The free all you can eat breakfast is also first come first served so you may go without. The kitchen was defiantly the worst part. Dirty and crap just piled up everywhere as there was never any tea towels to wipe up
Disliked: Sophie left no negative feedback.

Liked: Enjoyed the warm and friendly staff went on two of the events that were avialable and were encoraged to mingle with other travellers and share experiances. Rooms were cosy and comfortable and the staff were aminable.
Disliked: Only one bad point the first night we were there they had a fire alarm at 4AM which was proptly sorted out.

Liked: Excellent hostel, reasonably priced, clean and has a friendly & funky atmosphere. The toilet & shower room is private/for one person per time which is nice and apparently the breakfast (which I was too hungover to make it to!) is good too :) Rooms are nice and quiet but if you wanna stay up drinking there'll be plenty of company ;) Had great fun with the gorgeous, fabulous Rhona - hope I've spelt that right - and just having her working there (also met a lovely blonde haired Canadian girl whose name I didn't catch) makes this hostel worth the price of entry alone!!! Highly recommended A+++

Liked: a great place if you want to meet people, not so great if you want to get a good nights sleep. good bathrooms, excellent shower.
Disliked: noisy rooms, and very cramped - nowhere to leave bags except in the middle of the floor. probably didn't help that there seemed to be an extra person sleeping in the room which probably contributed to the crazy amount of bags, shoes, towels etc lying around everywhere.

Liked: A truely lovely little hostel with friendly staff, comfy social areas, clean rooms (my dorm had ensuite facilities which was a bonus) the pancake breakfast was great too! The vibe was laid back and the location amazing -i dont work for them honest!
Disliked: they could stand to have a bit more storage for larger items of luggage. No lifts or disabled access - I was using a walking stick during my stay which made getting my luggage up and down stairs (to the storage area) difficult. I wouldn't reccomend it for people with mobility issues but i would recemmend it for everyone else!!
