Liked: Fantastic Value for money. First time we have come across half board included in price.

Disliked: Should state that evening meals were (apart from 1) all Indian food. We had a 5 year old with us so both nights she had soup. If we were staying longer I would like to have seen other basic meals on menu. Rooms were a bit run down but suited the purpose and the cost.

Liked: Not centrally located but the bus stop is literally right outside the front door. (When you see the LIDL press the bell). This is the first time I have come across half board in my 9 months of travel. Toast, cereal and coffee for breakfast and 2 course Indian meal at night. The kitchen was built to run a restaraunt so it is very well equipped.

Disliked: This place is essentially a hotel so during our stay it was hit and miss with meeting other travellers. They have a nice big common area with a big screen TV to encourage interaction between guests. We felt safe during our stay but it would not be the area I would walk alone in at night. Beds could be more comfortable but you do get what you pay for.

Liked: Rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast was good - cereal and toast. Free tea and coffee.

Disliked: Location was a little far from town. Other travellers may wish to know that the name of the hostel has changed, and is now called Bluebird Hotel. Fortunately, I realised that before I left, but it may have been confusing otherwise.

Liked: cheap and easy to get to the city centre.

Disliked: Take ear plugs! A notice needs to go up in reception area - do not disturb other guests if arriving in early hours of morning. Had very little sleep due to doors banging and lack of consideration from some other residents.

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: Lock didn't work from the inside of the room. Came back to find my window wide open. Fire alarm went off repeatedly and person at reception did not seem to care. Despite being told that there was a 24 hour reception there was in fact a doorbell to be used only in an emergency between the hours of 21:00 and 09;00
