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.

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.

Avoid

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.

They could have warned us that it was up a really steep hill. Also there was some maintenance work being carried out, so the women's dorm was closed off when I arrived but apart from that it was rather comfortable and very good value for money.
