- Avg. price/night: £164.29Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.1Good - What previous guests thought, 1,261 reviewsThis is a great location, and the hostel doesn't really claim to be more than a cheap place to stay, which it is. There's nothing really special about it as far as hostels go - but it is clean, safe and not too noisy, which is all you really need! I stayed in a ladies only room, and there was a private bathroom and shower attached.Guest review byMatildaSolo traveller
