The layout of the building was very interesting. It did not seem like one room after another, the rooms were well separated for more quiet.

Very nice place! A bit far from the bus station when coming as a backpacker.
The private room for two was really small and rather expensive ( 100 £ without breakfast) but the location and the common rooms are nice and comfortable.
I would have really appreciated a real coffee for breakfast and not the instant one ☕️.I think a coffee machine would be a good investment 😀

For the price, £67, this is poor value, why do YHA think it not appropriate to supply towels, very outdated approach

Peaceful hostel in a nice old building around 20 minutes walk from the town centre. Clean and quiet. Check in times are a little restrictive and late check in is not possible.

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Generally clean and comfortable. Un able to use showers before 7am which was inconvenient as we were catching the early ferry. Large groups and staff shortages prevented the normal menu being offered.
