13 August 2010 virginie would recommend this property

Liked: It was so close to the city center! And to the park and ride bus stop as well! So clean, and safe, privacy is respected, clearly it's not like a regular hostel it's a hotel in which you share a room.

Disliked: The extra to be paid when you're not a member : makes it more expensive than a hotel room if you pay for two people...

Liked: I liked that the bathrooms were ensuite even in the dorms and the location was good.

Disliked: I disliked that they didn't seem to empty the bathroom trash often. It was practically overflowing. Also there was trash (empty bottles, cans, grape stems, etc.) on top of the cabinets that prior tenants hadn't thrown away and they stayed there the entire time I was at the hostel. Whoever cleans the rooms did not pick those up.

Liked: This is a posh hostel, meaning you might as well be staying in a hotel. If you are traveling cheaply, avoid this spot since a 20 pound cheaper option is 300 meters away or so. Nice beds, nice bathrooms, lots of space for hanging out and possibly cooking.

12 June 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was basically hotel-quality, just with more than one person in a room. My room had its own shower and toilet, and was spotlessly clean. The lobby was nice, and the staff friendly. They overcharge for services like towels, but that is to be expected. Probably the nicest hostel I've stayed at!

Liked: The hostel itself was very clean and modern. The only problem is that wi-fi isn't free and it costs 5 pounds for 24 hours that continues to run throughout the night.

Customer review

07 December 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It's very clean, although the showers do smell a bit damp. The rooms aren't crowded - space for your stuff and good lockers that you really can put things in. Really handy for the train station and only about 10 minutes to the bus station even with luggage. The kitchen is a bit small and needs more basic equipment, like knives. They could perhaps consider providing paper towel in the bathrooms so that you can dry your hands. Wifi is great but it did seem a bit expensive when a lot of other hostels offer it for free.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
