25 July 2010

Liked: Good central location

Disliked: It was an unbelievably noisy, creaky old building, slamming doors, walls that didn't reach the ceiling so you could hear everything from adjacent rooms. our dorm only had a curtain for a door and everyone sleeping in the adjacent dorm had to pass through it aswell. Effectively like sleeping in a hallway. Noisy, I had a terrible night's "sleep".

Gemma Clark

22 September 2009 Gemma would recommend this property

Liked: Great location right next to harbour. Brill pub called the Swan 5 mins round the corner. Big dinning room. Very poorly designed showers. Clean and modern but nowhere to get changed. Dorms very big - 20 people plus, so was loud in the evening and morning. No breakfast but several cafes and shops nearby where you could buy food. Would def stay again.

Disliked: Gemma left no negative feedback.
