The location was great and the room was very clean. For 3 adults, we booked a private, 4-person room with a bathroom. It was very comfortable for us and we would definitely book again.

Nice lounge and spaces, great value for breakfast, extremely good price for value. Clean and comfy in general.

United Kingdom

The location next to the train station is convenient, but you will hear noises from the train station while trains are operating. As always, yha has standards and procedures and operates more like a hotel than a youth hostel.

I didn't like the service the room and the staffs
This hostel was the worst place I have stayed. The staffs are really rude also the bed I stayed was not clean it was uncomfortable to sleep in that bed as I gave got back pain ever since staying at your hostel. Your house keeping staffs are really rude as well banging the door and yelling loudly when I was waking up to check out. It was shocking i have never been so angry in my life. Train your staffs to be polite if you want your guest to revisit again.

The fire alarm went of twice on Sunday morning, once from a toaster and then from a group of students that set it off. I could have overlooked it, but the staff didn’t seem to empathise that my entire reason for booking was to sleep in. They could have handled it better. Offered me a complimentary breakfast or complimentary late check out or done something to turn my experience around.

Especially friendly staff was very helpful at every stage of my stay. The hostel was clean, well maintained, furnished and organised, offering a range of pleasant facilities. The beds were rather narrow, though very comfortable. Worth recommending.

Directions wrong. NOT directly opposite railway station Have to go out onto road and walk to BACK of station Still good location though. Booked in early and happy to wait until 2pm. BUT staff ignored us after 2pm. Had to go up later and ask for key. Others waiting - same thing. Could have called out even. Very noisy. On side street but still people talking loudly outside, (not YHA fault) but some ignorant person banging door next to us 5 times in about 5 minutes after 11pm. Need to put soft door closes on. Need cloth or something for bathroom floor. Shower curtain blows out and water goes onto floor. Shower floor also sloped out. Found a roll of blue paper and used this to wipe floor. Basic cleaning ok. Moved beds and not been cleaned for a while, but most people don't move beds. (Had 2 singles, so pushed together).
Breakfast was great. Very good price. Serving staff friendly.

It is not your fault but we had a noisy night as there were roadworks right outside.
It was in a good location as we didn't need to walk far to the centre of the city.

It's not really that far from the city centre, but It you are travelling alone I would choose a place nearer the city centre.
The room is nice and although it's not brand new everything is pretty clean. Staff was nice also.

The shower. I didn't feel comfortable trying to set a mix of hot and cold water. Also the shower head was fixed and I couldn't change the direction.
6-beds room shared. Not too many. Good balance between price and quality. It's worth.
