Overpriced! £40 per head - £120 room!! Room for 3, (have to be very close friends), smaller than a Premier Inn or Travel Lodge. Yes it has it's own toilet, (Whoop de do!), but would not recommend having to share a toilet with some of the clientele. Please don't think I'm having a go at your normal backpakers. I'm talking... more

We stayed in this hotel for 3nights (Early November '09). When we got there we were pleased to find that the hostel was clean, so very different than the hostel we stayed in London. We liked that the bathroom was IN the bedroom & clean, not outside. oh yaaa.....the staff was also very helpful. they're pretty organized, already hv our... more

This is not your typical hostel, the service is vastly above what you'd expect. Quality shower and bathroom, spotlessly clean along with the room, and fresh towels daily. The rooms were very spacious and had plenty of lockable storage space. Bunk beds are, unsurprisingly, quite cheap and uncomfortable, but you'll be so tired that's not a huge problem. What is,... more

And there is 'Smart City Hostels'! This would be fine if you were just looking for somewhere cheap to crash for a couple of days. The problem is, it isn't cheap. We paid £180 for two nights [breakfast not included] in a room with Bunk-beds, No TV, no kettle, and a wardrobe which was basically a collection of planks leaning... more

Due to peak season, I could find only 8 persons mixed dorms in this hostel. I was a bit confused because I think mixed room is not comfortable to me even though I had no choice. So, I tried to ask staff to change room to stay with as many females as possible when I checked in as I am... more

Booked a private room with four beds - paid a premium to do this. Came back late the second night to find one of the matresses had been removed, leaving a bed with hard springs and wire. Was told that because we had previously said three would be staying in the booking they had the right to take the matress... more

It may not be the cheapest hostel in town, but is the one with highest value. Although it may be a little bit hard to locate for first time traveller, it is just a 10-minute walk from the bus to airport (Airlink 100). You will be greet by their staff with nice manner. Rooms are cleaned and nice. Enjoy their... more

We, myself and six friends, stayed here for one weekend. The staff were friendly, the food was lovely and the location was central. There were a mixture of people staying there, from stags and hens to backpackers and then us, students! The only thing that disappoints us is that we can't find smart city hostels in other cities. more
