Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The hostel's location near the city centre and many touristic spots is great. The reductions on the bar downstairs too. It's cheap so very practical for low-budget travelers like me.

    Great location, only a short walk to the centre, cheap hotel. Although we went to watch a concert and like everywhere that nights stay was very pricey. But normally a cheap stay

    The location was very near to the city and the stadium, which was very great. It took us like 5-10 min to get into the city. The street is a little bit shabby but there where no problems at all. The Host was very nice and also told us everything we need to know. No Problems at all! If you are looking for a cheap stay or have a low budget. i would definitly recommend.

    Quiet room, comfortable bed, fantastic shower, great location, staff were very friendly and room was ready a little earlier than the scheduled 3pm check in. Breakfast was OK; parked in Sophia gardens for 3 days, £40 for 7 days but cheaper than the other NCP car parks even with a disount and a lot safer, 10 mins walk across the river.

    They send you the front door and room door codes in advance and ask for a photo of your ID, so check in is swift. I arrived slightly early and was allowed to go to the room. The beds are the best hostel bunk beds I've found. You have a light, charger point and under bed storage. There is head room and even room to put things at the side of your bunk. The room is not cramped either. There are two female only dorms with two showers and one toilet completely separate.

    Close to city centre basic and cheap room gold for backpackers that want slightly more than just a hostel. Wouldn't recommend if traveling with more than just a partner/child.
