Liked: Unreal location, good big room, the ensuite was huge, the shower was so lovely and powerful!, everything was so clean and the staff were super helpful...had booked a private room for 2 people for 2 nights, ended up having a third person join us the second night and they worked it so we wouldnt have to switch rooms or anything.... It's really safe, staff came and watched as we put bags into the store room and went to get them out again, nothing worse than hostels that seem to just pass the key to anyone who asks!

Disliked: the blinds were broken in the room and in the ensuite, and the ensuite window wasnt even frosted so we had a nice view from the loo :-/ we were just on the first floor so if anyone looked in...especially from double decker buses....you wouldnt want to be too insecure!!! also a full lenght mirror wouldnt have gone unused! but it was still brill, definitely going to be my regular place to stay!!

Liked: very friendly staff, free pancake breakfast, free luggage storage, felt safe

Disliked: dripping toilet, it's quite loud! in the ensuite 8-bed dorm i stayed in there was only one shower/toilet for 8 people. you really need a couple more toilets, and maybe another shower at least, in the hallway, otherwise there is no going to the toilet ever. i prefer female-only dorms. make sure people know to keep quiet after 11 p.m. some don't realize that you don't need to slam a door to close it ;o)

Liked: A nice small hostel, good kitchen and rooms are OK.

Disliked: Nothing in particular... The room view was on another building a few meters away, but I guess you can't get better in the town center.

Liked: The facilities were good, the kitchen was spacious and well stocked for utensils and various cooking necessities. Bowes Pub just around the corner was lots of fun, so the advertisements placed in the hostel were well chosen and useful.

Disliked: The arrangement of the tables upstairs might be changed around a little to ensure more seating space but honestly everything was satisfactory (except that pancakes do not equal crepes, cakes are light and fluffy and so panCAKES should be too. but the crepes were good)
