Reviews
Nice people. Great location. Sturdy bunks with power but no light, no curtain. Huge kitchen & a TV room make up the common areas. A shower room was near my dorm but toilets were a little distance. Downstairs bar and club with bowling alley don't run very late during the week. The cost and noise level increases on weekends so I left on a Friday. Quite a few permanent residents. Stay here and take a day trip to Bath. It is cheaper.
For £20, this is a great last minute, late check in option of you just need a place to crash. I literally turned up at midnight & got a room on a Saturday night. Utter god send considering the state is was in 😂 Parked my car in NCP all night so between parking & the room, spent
This hostel is underrated in my view. Every staff I spoke to was easy going and helpful. The maintenance of common area was not bad - perhaps cleaning has improved. I stayed comfortably at 10-bed mixed dorm. Some tips I’d give is that bring earplugs and a lock as music was loud from downstairs when I was there Sat night. And it’s at a prime location, 10 walk to the dock.
Great location, staff were friendly and helpful, rooms were tidy and you even get to choose your own bed in the dorm which was nice as I got a bottom bunk. Separate bathrooms are perfect, you get a toilet, sink, and shower to yourself! I will say though the common room had a bit of a funky smell and seemed a bit neglected. Loved my stay regardless!
