The rooms are decent but basic with enough charging sockets for multiple devices. The service is top-notch—friendly and accommodating staff. The location is excellent being right in the middle of Newcastle city centre, close to everything you need. Great choice for a budget and short stay!Rooms: 3/5
Exceptionally clean. Very functional and clean communal kitchen. Helpful friendly staff. We had a private room which was great, a really high ceiling with a huge window. Heating was available. Great location right in the center of Newcastle.Rooms: 5/5
Everything that is within the control of hostel staff was spot on - it was clean and well-kept. We stayed on a Saturday night and it was very noisy, but... that's just staying in a city centre hostel on a Saturday night in summer, really! Beleaguered staff obviously have to deal with a lot of drunk lads but were still really helpful and patient.
Best thing about this place is the staff, everyone I came across was really friendly and helpful. Shout out to Matt on reception who resolved a problem for me . Really sound guy who gave great recommendations for places. I was in a six bed, on third floor it was very spacious and clean. Best location you can get, right in the thick of it. Would and most likely will stay again.
Great location for a city centre hostel. Felt very secure and reassuringly clean. Walkability: Close to bars and restaurants
It needs a serious renovation and a good change, it seems that they don't want to with the good situation it is in. To spend one night, acceptable but no more... To go to the bathrooms you have to go up two floors from your room and they are dirty, the hallways leaky and freezing cold. The mattresses in the room are bad and if you are lucky enough to have room neighbors you will hear everything from them. Finally, the electric heating in the rooms turns off every so often so you will wake up with stalactites in your room the next day sleep with a coat. The plugs are far from the bed making it uncomfortable to charge your phone and rest. Wi-Fi is practically non-existent in the rooms, and there is only one light for the entire room. The kitchen could also be renovated, it is old and dirty... well, for a short stay it may be fine, it is next to the central station, but no more.
Stayed here while working in Town. Great location and very friendly staff. Rooms seem clean and beds are ok. Pillows are big, but can be quite hard. Love the fact its got a kitchen and its quite well equipped, its just not the cleanest all the time Overall, a lovely stay and very convenient for work. Great value for money too
Fantastic location. super clean and extremely friendly staff that instantly make you feel welcome. offered to go to kitchen and have free tea and toast any time is such a rare thing. rooms perfect and so quiet with respectful people. you might match it but dont think you will find better in a price conscious market. will be back
Stayed at this hostel for one night. While I have stayed in hostels before, this wasn’t a nice experience. Rooms are really hot, there is no conditioning and windows don’t fully open. Bathrooms and shower rooms are very dirty and smelled weird. One of the other guests walked in in the middle of the night and turned on the main light - there were no personalised lights for each of the beds. Overall very small, hot and dirty - wouldn’t stay there again
Great location, nice staff. Building is extremely old though and noisy as people walk around. Bathroom was far from the room and no wifi anywhere outside the lounge. Wouldn't be my top choice to stay again.Rooms: 2/5
