The Barn was a very nice pod-style hostel. We stayed in a 6 Bed Dorm. They are double beds with a curtain to separate. The bed is quite comfy, albeit one more pillow would’ve been nice. A shelf within the bed pod would’ve been handy to put items such as phone and other night time essentials. There were a decent amount of toilets, showers, and sinks. There is a kitchen facility upstairs however I did not use it. Everything seemed fairly clean.
One downside for me personally, is that you check in and are assigned your bed. But there is no key card or code to access the dorm room, and there are no lockers for your stuff. So you have to be very trusting. It was okay for us but bear that in mind if you have any valuables or are wary of leaving your belongings.
There is an area with two hairdryers and a big mirror which is ideal for women getting ready. I would suggest however that they add better lighting to this area.
The shower was fine and there are about eight. I would suggest they add in a shelf at the door for your clothing as there are only some hooks.
It can get very noisy, we were in the bed nearest the door to the communal area, and some people do not shut the dorm room door fully (with pressure applied) and therefore everything could be heard from the common area and it was quite loud at times.
Overall, I think this is a nice, modern hostel. We stayed for two nights, but I wouldn’t begrudge staying longer if you needed more time.
