Basic but clean

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 28, 2021via mobile
We were a stag party of 14. And stayed for two nights. The rooms were clean and secure. Facilities average. Reception staff helpful. Decent location. Ideal for a stag party and value for money. The showers were ice cold one morning but we’re ok again a few hours later
Date of stay: August 2021
Room Tip: Music on until early hours with a club downstairs

      Ive never had an experince in a hostel that has filled me with all the 5 basic human emotions,fear,sadness,happiness,anger and disgust.
      Upon arrival,we were escorted to our room in handcuffs and a straightjacket,the room was large and spacious,the padded floors and walls were comfortable.really apreciate being allowed to smoke inside the room but the bars did really get in the way.

      Clean showers and toilets,impressed as my constant ibs troubles keep me going back and forth throughout the night. Few pubes on the toilet seat but nothing dire.

      Had a kick about in the community kitchen to celebrate the footie,come on torquay!!!

      We slept in a 20 person bed room (2 girls) and felt completely uncomfortable our whole stay long. It was very very dirty especially the toilets looked like the have never been cleaned and in general all areas where dirty/smelly and weird. We were in a room with only men and felt very unsafe. We were not able to lock our luggage as the locks were broken. Would not recommend this hostel especially not for girls

      I really do not recommend staying here.
      We couldn't get any sleep at all throughout the night due to the insanely loud music playing downstairs in what I suppose was a bowling alley/club. The bed was actually SHAKING from the bass.
      The kitchen was big but overcrowded and actually gave me anxiety.

      The rooms had no space to store away your luggage and valuables.
      Felt really unsafe. The whole atmosphere was a bit sketchy.

      The toilets were okay and the staff was nice enough but I would've happily paid a few pounds more for a bit of sleep.

      Stayed here in Jan 2020 for a weekend for a stag do. Worked really well for us as a group, but perhaps a large part of that was that we didn’t return to the hostel until the early hours so weren’t kept awake by the noise from the club below as others have described, and secondly, we had private dorms which made any possible issues of security and comfort redundant.

      Positives

      1) Location - couldn’t be more central
      2) Cost - great value
      3) Beds - very comfortable mattress, very warm duvet, all clean
      4) Twin sockets per bed
      5) Safe - hostel dorms and communal rooms accessible only with key cards
      6) Showers - clean, hot, pretty powerful

      Negatives

      1) Breakfast - was fine, but very limited (toast or cereal)
      2) Dorm curtains - not usable/can’t be drawn so no ability to keep out external lights or daylight in morning
      3) Noise - weekend music from club beneath goes on until 3am and the bed-frames suffer heavy vibration from the base speakers
      4) Bathroom Sinks (and to a lesser degree toilets) - usable but far from clean
      5) Towels - not provided (not a problem necessarily) but bring your own or rent one from the hostel.

      In summary - great for a night or two under certain conditions and for certain people. Would not recommend if you plan on having early nights or prefer more luxurious accommodation.

      Nice to come back and stay again, it's had a makeover much more modern and practical, ping pong, TVs and football table in the common room. Beds are comfy, the buildings clean. They have both single sex bathrooms and private bathrooms upstairs, towels are a £1 at reception. Bristols great this time of year.
