The best service I've had at any hostel. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I had a fun night out and came back not feeling too well. The staff were really understanding and helped me throughout the night. I would recommend this hostel just for their amazing service and staff.

Looking for a holiday home?

Great for families or large parties, holiday homes are privately owned accommodation, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities for self-catering, although breakfast may be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different to apartments.

    Very secure yet central location. One of the best hostels I've been to in terms of privacy in the rooms. 10/10 clever design. Spacious and private dorm. Two bathrooms in the room! Highly recommend. Plus really helpful and welcoming staff on hand 24/7.

    A lovely apartment, in a great location. Well decorated and comfortable. Easy communication, easy to find the keys. We had a small issue on the first night but it was dealt with well by the owner. We were in town to visit family, this was a cheaper alternative to staying in the Premier Inn, and it was a much better choice. We'll probably be back!
