Very nice place! A bit far from the bus station when coming as a backpacker. The private room for two was really small and rather expensive ( 100 £ without breakfast) but the location and the common rooms are nice and comfortable. I would have really appreciated a real coffee for breakfast and not the instant one ☕️.I think a coffee machine would be a good investment 😀

The layout of the building was very interesting. It did not seem like one room after another, the rooms were well separated for more quiet.

For the price, £67, this is poor value, why do YHA think it not appropriate to supply towels, very outdated approach
