Summary: Youth hostel with (some) rooms converted to double rooms. Rooms slightly basic, but comfortable. The place is somewhat aged but appears well kept. Spacious communal kitchen and dining room.

Summary: Run down- would benefit from a complete revamp. There are few amenities ( ie toilets) for size. Cost is extremely high for quality of accommodation on offer. A shame that this syha hostel has lost it way and is now more expensive and not as good as local competitors. No one about to let in some poor folk who came in on late boat despite arrangements having been made. Overall, extortionate and poor quality- reccomend either lowering the price or providing a much better service. W

Summary: The private room was ok but I did not like the gender neutral toilets and washrooms. If they had been single units affording some privacy, that would have been fine - but they weren’t. Also there was an unpleasant smell of cooking in the corridor. The room smelled ok. The doors of the other rooms banged as they were closing - so quite noisy late at night while trying to sleep.The warden was helpful and pleasant.

Summary: First time in a youth hostel as an adult (and since the 80s) was a surprisingly pleasant experience. A private twin room for myself and my 12 yo daughter was great, shared facilities not too much of an issue even though the place was busy. Could do with more fridge space for guests, but ambient storage is plentiful, and the kitchen area and supplies ample for everyone. Location is great: within easy walking distance of the bus station for the able-bodied even with a heavy suitcase in tow, 10 minutes walk from 3 supermarkets and multiple takeaway food outlets (all independant, no chains), and within 10 minutes to the town centre and major attractions. Staff were available during advertised hours; friendly and efficient whenever encountered

Summary: Very friendly place and in a great location. On town service bus route on the hour until 6.00pm but everywhere was within walking distance.

Summary: Convenient location. Kitchen had all of the amenities necessary, but fridge space was limited and fridges were not clean. Private room was basic, but had everything needed. Only concern was not having staff available earlier in the day for checkin, and when I sent the hostel an email earlierthrough the booking program, I did not receive an answer.
