Good all round.

Did exactly what it said on the packet, comfy, good parking, helpful staff, lovely breakfast. Thanks.

Good basic accommodation

Basic rooms, clean bedding. Take a towel. Quite noisy Saturday night but Sunday was quieter. Breakfast is particularly good and a vegetarian option is also available. Pre-booking is necessary. Staff very helpful and friendly.
Jacqueline, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was pleasantly surprised by the YHA. Sure, you don't get a kettle or a TV in your room - so it is a little Spartan but it was quiet, clean and had individual rooms available with a shower and toilet. The local area was quiet and picturesque. I would happily stay here again.

Great hostel, clean and welcoming. They have both a self-catering kitchen, and a cafe and bar--really nice feature for a YHA!

YHA, AOK!

It is what I expected, plus a little more as it has a restaurant onsite, plus a full kitchen so you can cook your own food. The room was comfortable for one and it's next to a lovely forest and canal area so great for walking. Compared with a hotel it is a little basic, but then it was inexpensive and a different type of stay. Staff were friendly and helpful

Cheap and basic

Ok considering the price. Had a 4 bed private room for 39quid. Main issue is the bunk beds have waterproof mattresses on which make it very hot at night. Especially with 4 ppl in a small room and no air conditioning, none of out group had much decent sleep because it was so uncomfortable. Rest of the hostel and the surrounding area is nice. Good bar and pool table, we didn't eat thoughts cannot review food.

Simple and effective!

Fast, easy and very friendly, informative staff. Room / bathroom smelt of drains but perhaps thats the out of season timing so rooms aren't used very much. Thin walls and loud banging doors easy to hear but very comfortable bed and clean rooms.

8/10 Very good

Clean and pleasant hostel

Difficult to find in the dark but fine during the day. Very clean for a hostel.
