8/10 Very good

Was a great place to stay on such a tight budget. The kitchen could have been nicer and kept to a better standard. Some of the toilets needed to be cleaner and with handles on them, but Jimmy a good place to stay

Except for the amazing location, this Hostel is home to shabbiness, dirt and most importantly “Bed Bugs”. Stay at your own risk

Joanne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked the beds (maybe not the mattress itself…). They all had privacy curtains. Its old and very dated but low in price and the area it is in is great! Would stay here again.

Jack, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Mrs Potts is super cute. I appreciated the privacy curtains on the beds and found the place to be unique. The location is great for accessing buses, trains, and just walking. There are restaurants, fast food, convenience stores right there. And it is near plenty of tourist attractions. Laundry service is available for a fee, which is convenient. I would definitely stay again.
Amy, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Never again
Door didn't work properly, and some random person came in in the middle of the night, my niece's sheets had what looked like dried blood on them, so she slept on the quilt from another bunk.
Tracy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Terrible amenities bad beds and bad bathrooms
Tyler, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The offer stated it came with a complementary massage and that turned out to be not the case. The room smelled like some type of burnt oil and the kitchen was closed.
Carmen, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Rentokill equipment under the mattress was reassuring… Shared shower facility was very poor. Not much privacy from staff.
Rowan, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room smelled of really strongly of chemicals, very uncomfortable spring mattress. Location was good, if these could be improved on. Wouldn't recommend for more than a night or two
Blair, 1-night trip
