Very cosy and homely atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff. Affordable price and also the experience of meeting new people. Great place to stay rather than staying in a hotel.

As pensioners, I guess we're not the usual hostel clients but we had travelled a lot when we were younger and were familiar with the format, plus we dislike large impersonal hotels. It worked out great and we will be returning. Charlie, the staff member who greeted us was brilliant - hard working, efficient, accommodating and welcoming. We were in... More

I stayed with my friends for a weekend away. I had read on the website that is was a quiet hostel, which was perfect for us. However I stayed in the annexe and the room opposite me played loud music until 5 am. Banging on doors, singing etc. they were also sick all over the bathroom. Worst night sleep ever.... More

Very clean, newly furnished and equipped, well equipped, very nice kitchen, comfortable mattresses, free coffee tea and wifi, good suggestions for nightlife activities. We'll be back!

We had a twin bedded room on the top floor in the Annexe above a shop across the road from the Igloo house. There was a TV and free wi-fi, in our room and on the same floor loos and showers . The clean fully-equipped self-catering kitchen was on the floor below.
