Liked: Home-like atomasphere. The lovely timber frame house. A living room on ground floor with TV.
Disliked: There is only one plug in room and lockers are outside the room in the hall way. A little bit inconvenience, but probably the price for the home feeling.

Liked: Short walk to city centre. Free wifi.
Disliked: Big dorm was hot and smelly at night as limited ventilation. The door was never locked although you got a key code on arrival, and was open to the main outside area, and kitchen all the time apart from when sleeping. Guy came in in the morning and turned on all lights to see who had checked out - so no sleeping in!

Liked: The friendly family style atmosphere that was a welcome change from large hostels. The new owner Alistair just goes the extra mile tomake you welcome. He is gradually upgrading the house. Great when you are travelling alone.
Disliked: He needs to replace some of the carpets with easier cleanable flooring.

Liked: The Hostel is an ideal location for the City centre…. Ermmmmmm that’s it.
Disliked: The communal area was very dirty and smelly, carpets were ripped and pieces missing (and we got billed for spilling a cup of water on it!!!!) I was informed that we had 3 communal showers for our use, we had 1 plus the use of the ladies shower and toilet! No Hot water at any time during our stay and the Kitchen was in a poor state, extremely smelly and in poor condition. Absolutely 0 atmosphere
