The hostel is in a old building, not accessible for people with mobility difficulties, very noise, people shouting and laughing very late in the night. The room had wooden floor that looks dirty and the kitchen/common area was terrible, no cleanliness and the smell when I entered in the kitchen everytime was overwhelming. Only positive point was the central location. Not returning again.

This is a hostel and not a hotel. That said I had a private room that was inexpensive. it was warm, comfortable and felt safe. The hostel is excellently placed in the centre of Newcastle near nightlife. But I heard no noise from my room at the rear of the property.

You get what you pay for.

Room was clean. Very basic inside. One bunk bed wit double bed at the bottom and single at the top. If you are 6'3 you will struggle as bed not that big. Only one chair the room. No wardrobe or even small table. No mirror in the room. There is an emergency green light in the room that you can't switch off. It's very annoying as it's to bright in the night. To the toilets and shower you have to got to the other side ot the building through the corridor and small staircase. Hot water in the shower, but you can't control temperature so it might be to hot for some. Electric heater in the room wasn't on when we arrived. It took me a while to get it going. Lady at the reception was OK.

Great central location

Great no frills accomodation but in a great location for all the local facilties and nightlife. Stayed there several times and can't grumble. Be nice if there was somewhere to stores/hang clothes etc in the room but no dramas living out a bag for 2 days.
