FantasticSolo stay
The staff were very accommodating and made the overall experience pleasant. They were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with any requests. However, one issue I noticed was that the toilets didn’t flush properly, which was a bit inconvenient.otherwise great service.

Fantastic great clean place. alot of facilities and very frendly staff. but the only issue was that they have two buildings. and i got room in the oposite of main building. which is great as well. just that kitchen service was only available in the main building. so thats a bit downside but still loved the service.

Great Location is as good as it gets, and the price was fair. The bathrooms were new and cleaned though the hostel has two online listings since it is split into two unconnected buildings on either side of the road. The Belushi part of the hostel has 0 common spaces and the common spaces in the original building where the main reception area is located are tiny. There is no kitchen of course and breakfast isn't included. Laundry was £4 per wash and £4 per dryer which is fair, though there are only two machines for each, and each cycle is in excess of 1 hour. The staff were friendly and professional though I wouldn't return again since this is more of a commercial hostel and frankly the interior is very drab and clinical. reception area a

Beware that there’s no kitchen but there’s a microwave. The chilling room for travelers is often crowded and small so if that not your thing, I don’t recommend. However, everything else was great.

I honestly love this place, cut through the train station, across the road and 2 min walk, perfect. The staff are always there for whatever you need. The breakfast might not be a hot one, but definitely worth the price, and the cartoons are hilarious - I’m a big kid at heart.
I know hostels aren’t for everyone, but if ya’s are in a group, it’s a lot easier… Bar across the road serves breakfast and has awesome prices with the wee deal card. Apart from one other place I’ve found, this would be my choice!

I saw someone cleaning the toilets and showers every day which was nice to know was being done. Bottom bunk curtains only cover about half of the actual bunk, so they don't offer as much privacy as the middle and top bunks. Just something to be aware of. Bring your own lock for the lockers if you don't want to have to buy one from the front desk.

Below averageFor leisure
While excellent location and friendly staff, bathrooms were smelly, toilets often didn’t flesh, no garbages in them for women, no simple hook on the wall for belongings. No kitchen, only a mini fridge to accommodate the masses. The reception area was cute but that was about it. Expected a bit more for the price

GoodSolo stay · For leisure
The toilets barely worked. It’s a cheap option for a night or two but wouldn’t want to stay any longer. Just a place to rest your head at night, despite the bed being too hard for my taste. I spent most of my time sightseeing so I only needed the room late at night and early morning. Wish there was a better, private area to change
