    The room and facilities were great, the only minor issue was I couldn't access the kitchen till 7am- but I am an early riser.

    Nice convenient location to all the amenities. Not a busy area of the town so it was quite. I was late to check in and the staff were kind enough to make arrangements for me to check in when I eventually got there.

    The facilities were clean and well maintained. The provided resources were clean, and the rental of additional towels and linens were very cheap. The room was minimally furnished, but this was within my expectations for a hostel. so quite nice....

  • Hi this YHA says “no children”, but if I book a family room or double room, can I bring my 13 yo with me? Or is it a total “no children” policy?

    Hi there, All children are welcome as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Apologies if it says "no children" anywhere on our profile. Cheers!..
