All staff I meet there were very helpful and friendly. Though the building is old, they keep it clean as much as possible. And, they seem to truely hoping our pleasant stay. There are many fun offered at the hostel. Worth staying more than one night!

The staff here was so friendly and helpful. Carmen was so delightful and wanted to help us in any way possible. The rooms were immaculate and the bathrooms great. A little garden and video room added to the character. I only wish I could have stayed longer to take more advantage of all it seemd to have offered for guests.

We had the cleanest, most spacious room I have ever had in a hostel. It was very quiet and the bathroom was amazing. Definitely ask for room 31.

Kipps hostel has a wide range of facilities. It has everything you could ever need in its kitchen and a large living room with lots of movies you can watch for free. Its only a 10 miinute walk away from the city centre (much closer than the YHA). Breakfast was excelent value. For just £1 paid on arrival you can have an unlimited Continental breakfast.

The staff are some of the nicest people in the world. You get a genuine sense of feeling welcomed. I highly recommend this hostel.

friendly staff - there was always someone there to help us or to answer our questions; huge kitchen which could be used by everybody; informal atmosphere - hardly anyone spent his time in his room; everyone was downstairs cooking together, watchen tv together, sitting in the garden and having a glass of wine together ... So it's really been a great time

Clean, friendly, and a decent price, this hostel is just a short walk outside of the city center. It's not far from places to see as well as the rail station. A great stay.
