Liked: The staff was superfriendly and they really cared if we found the places we were looking for in the town and if we needed to store anything during the day etc. Kitchen was big and there was enough room for everyone in the common room and comfortable chairs. The experience in our 8-bed dorm was really good, the room was big and our fellow backpackers were really interesting lads. I'd say this was the best hostel in our trip (eight hostels total in Britain)

Disliked: Really didn't like the showers at all, but they did their work.

Matthew Guzman

08 May 2010 Matthew would recommend this property

Liked: Good value, good location, nice staff. My only small complaint is the showers. I never could get a hot shower (and I tried taking one a night also, but still pretty cold). For me, it wasn't a big deal - just one of those things. If I come to New Castle again, I would stay at the Albatross again.
