I accidentally left my iPad in the room, fortunately, their staff called me to remind me to retrieve it. Their service was truly outstanding, and I am very grateful for their help. The location was also excellent, within walking distance to the city center. I highly recommend their exceptional service and hospitality!

Good value clean stay.

1st timers staying at a hostel in a city. Booked 6 people over 2 rooms.Free parking was brilliant. Lovely modern clean hostel with bar and cafe. We had an ensuite room which was great. Not being used to YHA we didnt bring things we needed but it was only a one night stay. Breakfast was a £10 said unlimited but was not a buffet had to wait a while and not all food items available so disappointed. On the whole good value clean stay. The receptionist on saturday afternoon was very helpful whilst we encounted a few issues at check in.

Great place, good room, although it is close to two main train lines and tram routes, but we were so tired after a busy day we fell straight to sleep - Room was very warm as it is June and there are signs asking guests to leave the windows open for ventilation (Which I suspect are from Covid days and not to keep you cool); We left one window open as the noise from outside would have been too much otherwise. Mattresses are basic, but comfortable - Bedding is provided, as are clothes hangers, an electric free standing fan (Too noisy to leave on whilst asleep) toilet roll and hand soap. We had the Continental Breakfast for £6 PP - Bargain and worth the price! :)
