United Kingdom“For me, this is the benchmark to test all other hostels by. I can't fault it. This must have been my third visit. Very handy for train station and for 'buses.” 
Alessandra United Kingdom“Fabulous hostel! I had a private ensuite with sea view and it was absolutely magical. I also had a chance to see another room and the shared bathroom, it was literally a full bathroom complete with bathtub shared between two rooms only. The staff...”- James United Kingdom“This place is amazing and I was wondering over by its retro decor. Its communial kitchen facilities are fantastic. Can't praise this hostel enough.
