Very Good
The bed was comfortable. Everyone at the hostel is very decent. It is clean and safe.
There is an horrendous motorway right by the hostel which generated terrific fumes and toxic air in the room. There aren't enough bathrooms.

It felt safe
A couple of lodgers there were pleasant
No kettle in room or tea or coffee but what can you expect at such a low price

Close to the airport shuttle drop off/pick up point. Close to many food options.
Free coffee in the morning would be nice. I had to return to the desk several times as my key wouldn’t work when I would leave and return. Bathroom got so steamy even after a quick shower.

Easy to find, great location. Very friendly staff with clean common rooms. The bathroom in the dorm rooms is fantastic. Great value.

Guest Score 3 out of 10
Poor
On the plus side, there’s a 24-hour front desk.
Very loud air conditioning, creaky beds, a dirty bathroom - you have to buy a padlock to acually use the locker (there’s no option to rent one with a deposit, so basically it is another income source for the hostel named STAYSAFE).

Bed was super comfortable.
I appreciate they were just open to the public and still working on the property, facilities and booking streamlining, so I reserve further comment until I go back

Poor
1- Breakfast is pretty decent, with hot milk, hot coffee, and basic cereals that won’t break the bank. The server was super friendly and helpful.
2- If you’re looking for a quiet place to stay and don’t mind a few compromises on amenities, this hostel is a great option.
3- The area around the hostel has a lot of pubs, but it’s not the safest place to be at night, especially for solo females. There’s a weird crowd that seems to come out at night.
Room Conditions:
The dormitory room is poorly equipped, with limited space to pack a backpack or even a proper bag.
The availability of normal ambient water is severely restricted. Upon inquiring with the reception staff, it was revealed that obtaining water was an obligation, leading me to purchase it from supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s or Tesco.
The cost of hot water is exorbitant, priced at 50 pence, which is an unreasonable amount considering the limited availability of hot water in such a cold city.
The room is plagued by a musty smell and ongoing construction work.
The bathrooms are leaky, and if you are expecting anything beyond a bed and a toilet, you should reconsider visiting this dormitory.
Thank you for your information!
