Albatross Hostel
51 Grainger Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 5JE, United Kingdom – Excellent location – show map
Excellent location. Cheap. Clean. Stayed previously but never visited kitchen/common room area before, so this time was very impressed with facilities offered. Matt on the front desk was very friendly, helpful, hospitable and welcoming. He was full of great local tips. It's a shame there are not more Albatross Hostels around England!
