Bad
They didnt pick up my phone. I tried several times to let them know I will be late an hour for checkin and they declined my request on booking.com also disnt give me my money back
The location was great , the food was good the atmosphere was decent
It states it’s a hostel but in-fact it’s a pub with rooms above ,lots of people arrive there to drink and socialise so if loud noises and lots of people ain’t your thing don’t bother , it’s of poor service the hostel but the bar is great you can order food there, someone was eating and on the phone constantly in the room until 12am at night and no one was there to report it to, also other rooms next to ours where really loud I think it was a staff room I guess maybe it’s because I stayed there for 5 days on a work trip I’m trying to be considerate it could just be for pleasure not business it’s a nice place but if your stopping off for work reasons it’s not ideal at night loads of people from the town especially in the young 20’s arrive there looking for a good time it’s abit of a youth club at night.
friendly staff and lovely breakfast wonderful sea view and bed was very comfyoverall five star stay
more fresh fruit with breakfast but what was supplie was good
Great location, right in town. Great view from the windows.
Pillows definitely needed replacing as they are flat, window in the bathroom didn’t close so it was cold (Thankful for the door to keep some of that cold out of the bedroom). Lots of stairs but we were on the top floor. Wouldn’t be great location if your staying out late and you can’t do a few steps or are a wheelchair user
Easy access by foot or road to everywhere we had planned. Great continental breakfast. Happy helpful staff.
Loved the area of the place what a fantastic view from the bedroom window! Wow!
Breakfast was offered but not supervised so was messy, dirty cutlery and dirty plates everywhere.Coffee was old and lukewarm
I liked the view. The bar downstairs is lovely however it needs cleaning as well.
The bedding is not clean it has marks and lint all over the pillows and duvet covers and is not worth the price and the star rating. The toilets/ bathrooms are not clean and are in terrible condition for the price they charge. If you want a cheap place to stay this is the place for you but not worth the price and the stay.
Can’t be beaten for the price! Staff all friendly, clean dorm, right in town and near the beach
Bed light lamps should be switched out for something a little less bright, but aside from that it was great!
Excellent location with fantastic views of the beach. Staff were super cool and gave excellent recommendations for food and places to visit locally. Live music & reasonably priced drinks. Will definitely like to return next year. Thanks to all who made my birthday weekend so special:)
Beautiful view from room and convenient location. Very helpful and friendly barmaid making time for me in a very busy rush to help me check in as I had issues with the app. Thank you for being patient with me!
Salt lamp not working in room not a major issue but needs repairing. Sand in bathroom needs hoovering. Kettle hard to fill up in small sink, could do with a water jug to help.
Excellent location, with friendly staff and delicious food.
The location is excellent with the beach just below as well as all local amenities and attractions surrounding the hostel. The hostel bar is also one of the best bars in the town with great views and atmosphere.
The room and bathroom was slightly cramped. Also, parking is not readily available, I was lucky to get a spot next to the hostel to check in but then had to find a long stay carpark, both of which I had to pay for. To add, I didn't realise the hostel was a hostel as it wasn't clearly sign posted.
Location is unbelievable.very scenic. Friendly atmosphere. Great value for money.
Breakfast very basic.bathroom could do with regular clean.
