Liked: Second chance for the rock n bowl after a average stay in September. I can report much has improved without the price going up. The motel now has its own dedicated reception and a small lounge attached . Rooms are clean and basic..not really rock n roll. Private shower rooms are also basic but better than communal option. Mix of guests of course the bar is great fun. Heating is now working. Overall, its a unique backpackers which is growing into itself and improving. £11 per night is great value for any UK city.

Liked: The location of this hostel is excellent. It is so close to the shopping centre. It is a fun place to meet people because it has a bar and bowling court. I would definately recommend this other people.

Liked: This hostel is situated in a great location and if you just want somewhere to stay it is fine. But the man that checked us in was not friendly or helpful and the bathrooms were dirty and there are not enough of them.

Liked: Not much, the twin room is noisy as the windows open onto the street, the other rooms are very unpersonal.

Liked: In our room it was literaly 10 degrees, or even less at night. We were freezing and the staff told us they couldnt do anything about it. The wind was blowing from the windows although they were shut at all times. They were also so thin it was impossible to sleep at night as it is a very busy street just outside the motel. The only good thing were the staff who were really nice and the bathrooms were clean enough.
