Guest Reviews

Stephen 8.0

It was quite quirky. I liked the fact that where I was sleeping was a building within the old church building. It was in a quieter part of the city.

Billy 8.0

During the festival, the price seemed reasonable. The communal showers and toilet areas were very clean. There was a big kitchen to make meals if you were on a budget.

Ladd 8.0

Interesting building

Peter 8.0

Easy 25 minute walk into city centre or a quick 5 minute walk to catch tram. We had a private room with shared bathroom. Had no problems accessing it whenever it was needed. Bathroom very clean.

Richard 8.0

Quiet, clean hostel with very good kitchen facilities (even though I didn't use them); the twin room we stayed in was very warm and comfortable. Point added for tea making facilities in the bedroom. Nice spacious bathroom.

Natalie 8.0

Very clean and nice. Bathrooms are newly updated and kept super clean. Staff was super accommodating. Building is old but charming and clean.
