The whole place felt grimy, in with everything worn down and stains all.on the carpet. Not a tourist hostel, more of a half way house. Good.location near the tram stop and some free breakfast, but one of the worst.places I've ever stayed.

Had to be switched to another room due to loud heating pipe in room 1, but switch couldn't happen until the next day so I couldn't sleep the first night. Staff was prompt and helpful though. Be aware, this hostel is up a very steep hill which makes it tricky for those with lower mobility. The bed I was in was also quite firm so wasn't comfortable for me since I have joint issues. Bed was also right next to a radiator so it was very dehydrating for me. Otherwise it was a good spot, spent 4 nights

For the price, i thought this was quite bad to be honest. The staff were excellent and helpful, the best thing about the place. I was in the girl's dorm... the bed itself was clean and had fresh bedding, which was good. But in general, the place was filthy...i lost my keys down the back of the bed, there was loads of stuff stored under it that looked like it had been there for ages, shoes etc.. this meant i couldn't reach underneath... when i managed to get my hand behind the bed, it was filled with dust, dirt and cobwebs and old socks and things. I went for breakfast, they had soya milk and lots of cereals ("goody" I thought)..i poured out some cereal and whilst eating, discovered many black hairs in the food. Honestly, disgusting... at that point i gave up and made an exit. This hair was probably just the result of another guest, but it's the first time in my life I've experienced anything like this in a hostel (and I've been to hundreds). I wouldn't mind paying a tenner for this kind of hostel, but certainly not almost 30 quid; it's just not worth it.

Excellent wallet-friendly choice
It's a hostel so manage your expectations accordingly. That said the staff were very helpful and friendly. There is plenty of unrestricted parking in the area if you have a car. You're not far from the tram or bus stops, and it's only about 30 mins walk into town. There's washing machines, a decent kitchen/communal area. The shared toilet was clean (yay). The WiFi was good enough to get some work done. There was a bit of coming and going in the night but I had a decent sleep. Compared with something like a Travelodge this is superb value for money for folks on a budget.
