Hostel no longer operating

Don't book this place, it has gone. This website still takes bookings but then you get there and there are no signs of life. The company has gone bust, there is a sign in the window stating that all chattels must be removed from the property by July 3rd. Hotels.com will not help you if you contact them, they just tell you to book somewhere else at last minute prices.

Best for backpackers and solo travelers.

For solo traveller like me, the facilities, mostly everything was good. I like the pantry the most and the shared toilets and bathrooms were clean at anytime. This place is quiet. The halal fast food shops, the Muslim friendly shop, even Tesco are just walking distance.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Checked in and out again within 30 minutes. Entrance was unwelcoming and untidy, “reception “ was a back office / junk tip. Room was small, dark and windows dirty, and insecure. Right next to smoking area. Someone was outside talking loudly on their phone - conversation not particularly savoury. Kitchen less than clean . No shower on ground floor, where room was, and ground floor toilet had a laundry / cleaning product pile in the area before the loo. Upstairs ( dirty stair carpet) loo was clean but toilet paper has to be put in the bin so even the plumbing was substandard. Didn’t feel safe so checked out. Have since repeatedly emailed to request refund ( have asked for one day , not both) but have had no response. Will phone and then Dispute the payment with my credit company. Staff member very pleasant but unable to explain where nearest tram stop was or how to call a taxi. Shocking. I’ve stayed in back pockets and hostels all over the world and this is absolutely the worst I’ve been to. Don’t waste your money

The whole place felt grimy, in with everything worn down and stains all.on the carpet. Not a tourist hostel, more of a half way house. Good.location near the tram stop and some free breakfast, but one of the worst.places I've ever stayed.
