"We had a family room (3 beds) for one night. Yes, it’s a hostel, so no, it’s not a plush hotel. But for the cost, the place is great. Fantastic location and friendly staff. 3 comfy beds in a good size room, and an en-suite with a great shower. A TV in the room, which we could use BBC iplayer on fine, and somewhere to get some food if you needed. What’s not to like."
