awful night time receptionist, do not stay

Jordan was fantastic. However, the night receptionist Brian locked another member of staff in an upstairs without their consent. We got back from our evening to find the member of staff distressed. Another guest came out to help get Jordan out of the room and after an hour Brian realised his mistake. We all felt unsafe staying there and would definitely not visit here, stay away!

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Too expensive for threadbare facilities.

Bedroom had no tv or washing facility. Doors closed with a bang and keys entering and turning in mortice locks were so noisy, especially irritating when you have a crowd of staying guests coming in at 3am at night. Also, the following morning, toilet was not flushing.. The breakfast room was a small compressed area... I forewent the breakfast, and breakfasted elsewhere. Terrible place.

Cheap basic hostel

Hostel was almost empty. We were only 2 in a 18 beds dormitory, which was very convenient but with more people, life would have been less easy (room too small for 18 people, very small kitchen, 3 showers and 1 toilet per gender on the first floor for 2 big dormitories and other rooms). Many rules are written in an unfriendly way all around the hotel, so very wierd atmosphere. But staff is friendly, common room is nice.

Very good accommodation

Double room was good and comfortable. Downside was that it was next to the communal toilets and people were not so quiet. Place is fairly central. Staff were very friendly and approachable.

Happy to stay again

Cheap, central, parking nearby, right opposite tesco, friendly staff, easy check in/out, clean beds and showers. The place is a little shabby and there are awkward corners (like behind the beds) that are dirty but on the whole it's well equipped and perfectly acceptable for a hostel. Breakfast was very good.

A fuire absolument

Une auberge sur le principe c'est bien, mais à condition d'avoir des communs propres et adaptés. Accueil à revoir, personnel pour certains impoli. Les sanitaires sont vétustes, sales (très sales !!!), et petits. La cuisine et pièce à manger est d'une saleté incroyable, les appareils dans un état lamentable, les prestations ridicules (manque de vaisselle, nourriture fournie sommaire et bas de gamme...). La chambre pas chauffée, mal isolée, fenetre grande ouverte avant notre arrivée, le confort de la chambre catastrophique (une nuit tout sauf reposante). Seule la pièce à vivre est sympathique, ce qui est mis en avant sur les photos. Pour couronner le tout, problème de facturation, on nous a demandé de régler à nouveau la chambre, déjà réglée sur hotels.com La pire auberge jamais vue à ce jour...

We had car trouble coming in, and they were very accommodating, staying late to let us check in. Probably the best showers we had on our trip. Clean and Lots of hot water. The hostel is in a great location, easy walking distance to everything, but still quiet. Would definitely stay here again.
