Good value clean stay.

1st timers staying at a hostel in a city. Booked 6 people over 2 rooms.Free parking was brilliant. Lovely modern clean hostel with bar and cafe. We had an ensuite room which was great. Not being used to YHA we didnt bring things we needed but it was only a one night stay. Breakfast was a £10 said unlimited but was not a buffet had to wait a while and not all food items available so disappointed. On the whole good value clean stay. The receptionist on saturday afternoon was very helpful whilst we encounted a few issues at check in.
