The two kitchens were great and there was also two toilets/showers per floor of the hostel so you didn't have to queue for them

The people there were so lovely and friendly and it was just such a homey place... i would recommend this place to anyone. Loved the guitars and the bottle of bubbly on New Years Eve... Thanks !!! :)

Liked the blasting hot shower, bathrooms on each floor, clean, lovely kitchens, quiet rooms. 20 minute walk from PrincesSt to the hostel is ok if you only have handluggage - a steep hill could be pretty offputting for someone with lots of bags

Warm and friendly. Lovely old house. Plenty of labelling to show you what was where, what you could help yourself to, and how to avoid upsetting other visitors.

I liked the location and the people staying at the hostel. It was great with two kitchens and two television rooms.

I stayed in the 2nd building (not the main one) and it felt like an actual home, not just a random hostel. Very clean, great kitchen. Beds weren't the best, but hostel beds rarely are. Clean and safe. A bit far from some of town, but not horribly bad,

The rooms were clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. There were two kitchens available, a sitting room with a tv, books and videos, a lovely conservatory to sit in and a back garden that would likely be very nice in warmer weather. The staff were very friendly. Convenient location tot eh center of town.
