Manager was extremely helpful and kind. Only thing we didn’t like was how noisy the doors closing was but after 10pm we were dead asleep and didn’t hear anything.

The stay was good and the service was very helpful. Just that it would have been better if we had some table in the room to place our valuables as everything had to be placed on the floor. It was quiet inconvenient. But the games room was entertaining , the kitchen was wonderful and we were not aware of the shared bathroom it was our first time booking but it was just one night and five rooms had a set of bathrooms that made it easy for us to be able to use it at our convenience. We had a enjoyable stay and safe. Thank you YHA staff and management.

It was fine for a short stay - some minor inconveniences like lift and drink dispenser not working, but otherwise really fine. We took the private rooms with ensuite facilities and would recommend the place to my fellow travellers.

Hard beds and false Queen bed

POSITIVES -Lady at front desk was helpful and friendly with advice on things to do there -Kitchen had good facilities NEGATIVES -extremely overpriced at $135 a night for me and my girlfriend. -Bed was hard and difficult to sleep all night -noisy with a loud droning of machinery, like a generator that could - be heard all night outside window when closed -kitchen was meant to be closed at 1045 but 18 year olds were there talking loud and smoking at 12 midnight. Which also meant smoke was coming through my window when I had it slightly open -paid for Queen but was given two twins hare single beds pushed together -beds were hard and not comfortable -wifi didn't work at all -lifts were turned off at night. Probably to save electricity -no one was at reception after 6pm -poorly designed blinds in room had gaps on the sides meaning the sunlight was bright and woke me up from sunrise -TV was unbranded and tiny at around 50cm long. Probably the smallest I've ever seen -location far from restaurants in cowes
