Lovely creative hostel with very friendly hosts that go above and beyond to make this a great place for their guests. There is coffee and tea. Our double room had its own bathroom with a skylight and a great hot shower. Great price-value ratio. Right next to the station.

Location is perfect and room was pretty clean. Best best view one could possibly get. Was booked in room no 12 and the beach view is unreal!! Staff was really polite and checkin was smooth. Lockers are provided at a small cost if arriving early. Overall perfect place to stay without burning a hole in your pocket

We loved our stay. The location is perfect and nature here is stunning. Best youth hostel we’ve ever stayed at. Food was delicious, they had a live band there as well and picnic tables and an oven in our tent. It was a perfect weekend for us.

I had the best holiday in England Devon County with Plymouth and Torquay as the only cities i visited, but what cities? Amazing! Penzance and Lands End in Cornwall, very small city with clean fresh sea air from the big blue Ocean in the Atlantic Sea. The small town of Penzance was amazing with the Pirate Inn as my favorite pub eventhough they kicked me out because of callers, it was still an incredible experience to explore. And the hostel YHA in Penzance absolutely amazing 10 times better than any hostel in London. You could buy a very good beer and the breakfast was plenty full with juice coffee and tea. Youghurt toastbread with butter and strawberry marmelade. Lands End was so stunning to see. Plymouth was so much fun and cozy and i had a good night sleep in Admiral Mcbride hotel. Many Pirates have been to this part of the world it was like Captain Hook and his crew was there. It was like coming from a very dark room (Denmark) into the bright light side(England Southwest).

What an excellent place to stay. Unless you hate hostels of course. Lots of great spaces. Dormitory beds have power and a light each plus a place to put things. Lockable cupboards under the beds. The thoughtful details go on and on. And great staff and a smashing location. I would definitely stay there again. In fact I did.
