Romantic getaway

16 August 2010 Rebecca would recommend this property

Liked: Outstanding value for money given it's location right by the sea- lovely to wake up to the sound of the ocean in the morning. Rick is very helpful, friendly and laid back which contributes to the overall atmosphere of the hostel.

Disliked: Walking down two flights of stairs for the bathroom was irksome, but the price of the room was so reasonable we can't really complain too much.

Liked: Both the staff (especially Rick) and the people staying in the hostel were so nice! It was very family friendly and had a very homey feel to it. The kitchen and the common area were so welcoming, clean, and pleasant. The rooms were small, but very clean. Great location- so beautiful! The public transportation system was pretty good too! I loved this hostel.

Disliked: None!

Liked: rick was very nice, it was close to the amenties

Disliked: the room for my son and i was absolutely tiny, the offer of free tea and coffee really was a free bag or a tsp. of instant coffee there was no milk or sugar, fridges too small, linen a bit weird smelling. no internet although their was a computer....the helper was unhelpful, the price was too much for what you got. the bathrooms were dodgy.

Melissa Plant

14 June 2010 Melissa would recommend this property

Liked: We arrived reasonably late and left early so didn't spend a great deal of time in the hostel, but while we were there everything was great. It was tidy, warm and inviting, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were clean, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The location was great - we had a sea view from our room and could hear the waves crashing in the distance which was lovely. Easy walking distance to the main area of Portstewart, and the house and room were quite secure. Would recommend it to a friend and would go back again.

Disliked: Melissa left no negative feedback.

John Bullock

10 June 2010 John would recommend this property

Liked: Rick was really nice and very willing to offer advice, and the staff he employs are very nice as well. There's not a whole lot to do in Portstewart itself but at least the city has a bit of charm, a bus can take you to the Giant's Causeway, Bushmills, Dunluce Castle, or the rope bridge and it takes a maximum of about 30 minutes to get there. Building was quite nice, but the mattress wasn't exactly the best. The Hostel itself is quite close to the promenade/waterfront, so there were some nice views from very close to the location.

Disliked: John left no negative feedback.
