Liked: It was easy to get to from the airport, staff were helpful enough, close to a supermarket, takeaways etc which is hand if youŕe arriving late at night.
Disliked: Locks on the doors would be good, and itś more of a long-stay place from what I gathered. Proximity to the airport isn't as useful as you'd think as the Airbus is only a pound cheaper.

Liked: The staff was very nice and recognised me since the last time I came here -3 weeks ago and for just one night! The rooms are quite clean and the common room is tidy!
Disliked: The common room is small, which is okay, but not when you have very noisy people talking on Skype like you did not exist. But that's not the hostel's fault. Just of humans.

Liked: the communal areas were lively
Disliked: Disrespect of those sharing the room(they were very noisy in the middle of the night). It was difficult to find areas of privacy in the shower rooms in which i could put my clothes back on.

Liked: Central location. Only a few minutes walk to the quayside and a little further to the town centre. Nice big rooms, plenty of showers.
Disliked: The only facility that would have been useful and which Globe didn't have, is a computer and therefore available access to the internet. Apparently there is free internet access available at the local library but I didn't have time to find out where that was!

Liked: Very good location, unless you are bothered by road noise. Our room was very good. Free tea, coffee and wifi is always nice.
Disliked: Bathrooms were a bit shoddy. Other people staying in the hostel weren't particularly friendly, welcoming or quiet. Road noise somewhat bothersome.

Liked: Location and cleanliness.
Disliked: Unless you intend staying up all night, this is not for you. It caters for night ravers to book a room for all night parties. It is not for backpackers. I planned all year for this Exeter Chess Congress only to find it was completely ruined by not being able to sleep through noisy revelers all night parties. They even came into our room through a interjoining door. We complained and was refunded £40 and moved to another room. It was too late. The weekend I had waited so patiently for was already ruined. I could not play Chess on Saturday with no sleep at all. Perhaps it is worth saving for longer and booking a hotel!
