This place has bug issues! Leave out other problems I encountered while staying at this hotel, I was badly biten by bugs (not sure it was bed bugs or other kinds) . I had bites all over my hands and legs for 3 nights' stay, and I was informed this happened before by one of the staff. In the end I received a medicine under my request and no apologies no compensation. I am not sure if they have solved this problems but definitely want this review to be an alarm to the upcoming people.

One Night in Devon

Not a particularly nice location and felt the hostel was a bit shabby. The 14 person dorm room was far too small for 14 people so was very cramped. I’ve stayed in lots of hostels and the 12-14 person dorms were always much bigger. The communal living area closed at 11pm but when I returned at 11:15pm was still busy so presumed it was ok to enter. I was rudely told by the manager that it was staff only after 11pm. I appreciate live-in staff need living space but maybe this should be in a private area. Good breakfast though. This hostel was ok for one night but would not want to stay longer.
