Great location, near the train station, the main bus station, and the historic central city. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The setting is conducive to meeting new friends from around the world.
I started my trip there and returned there at the end of my travels.

Overpriced for the service provided (i.e., eight people to a room, no breakfast offered, etc.) in comparison to YHA accommodations throughout England.

Lovely stay. Friendly and helpful staff, cleans the shower every time someone uses it.
Comfy & clean beds, have these boards around you so you don’t have to look at someone when you’re lying down.
Very clean, tidy, and cozy kitchen & common area.
Also, they don’t charge for luggage storage after checkout which is a huge plus (every other hostel I stayed in would charge post-checkout luggage storage fee, which I understand)
It could get pretty loud on Saturday night but they offer free earplugs.
Great stay overall, highly recommended!

Very loud, 4 night clubs next door, no air conditioning so had to have the windows open all night. So while you are trying to sleep there were people partying at 3am.

Me senti bem recebida. Os recepcionistas foram muito claro com relação ao funcionamento do hostel. ótima localização. Me senti super bem recebida. Banheiros em bom estado. Cozinha também. único ponto que eu sugeriria é para que os quartos e cozinha possuem sistema de ventilação trocar o ar.
Obrigada por tudo!

Clean and well maintained property.
Heavy noise coming in from the street during the weekend due to the need of keeping the window slightly open to refresh the dormitory. Earplugs kindly made available by the management.
