Very pleasant stay.
Had a great overnight stay. Very clean and welcoming the mattress wasn't the greatest but still managed a good sleep. I never used the kitchen or dining area but it was very clean and if I was here for longer I wouldn't have an issue. Room 2 was cosy everything worked i.e. heating etc. Staff on site were very friendly and made me feel welcome.

Well, you can't expect much from a hostel, it's not like a hotel. But I must say it's a pleasant stay and their assistance for check-in is also nice since it's a self-check-in, I overlooked my email because of the poor coverage. We called them and it was a nice approach.

Property is in need of a good spruce up. Broken door handles , and window locks. No towels are provided , stating it’s a hostel as a get out clause. Self check in / out. Was very quiet as a plus point … Sadly over priced for the offerings

Not impressed as really cold
Room clean , bed dreadfully hard, room cold/ freezing to sit in , no heating on luckily there were bunk beds so used the quilt off one of them and the quilt on double bed . Was really cold though and couldn’t get anything dry. The bathroom door did not close or stay shut , so from the glass front door u could see right in to whoever was in the bathroom . Neighbours were very noisey so walks paper thin. Not impressed it was a roof over my head . Not the best stay I’ve ever had. I came from Applecross Bunkhouse hostel and it was warm and cosy this was not unfortunately . Staff were nice though .

After we left the hostel, we decided to book it again for one more night. When we arrived in the evening, the room hasn't been cleaned, even the trash has not been taken out. The beds were not made, sheets not washed. The room was left unlocked for the whole day, so we aren't even sure if nobody has been in there during the day.

Think twice before booking
Quite disappointed by the booking. To start with as per booking towels were supposed to be provided but to our horror there were no amenities in the room. We stayed in Room 3 - the room heater was not working. - the shower drain was clogged. - the shower pipe was covered with mould and dirt - the bed lamp was not working. Luckily we took a towel which saved 3 of us. The common area was clean and we spent much of our time there. The kitchen was fully equipped but while cooking the smoke alarm used to get activated as the hood was not working and just because everyone was using it the bins were overflowing with rubbish.
