“Very friendly”
+Outstanding service at Reception when I initially checked in. Friendly, relational, and genuinely interested in me and why I was travelling. The woman working behind the desk was so positive and happy. The customer service was really appreciated after I had been travelling two days to get there. I asked to be in a room on the ground floor and I was. I forgot my towel and so I was provided with one. The windows in the room opened which was nice as with some hostels they don't. The price was really good. It was quiet inside the hostel. It was very clean. The property was very well maintained. When I arrived, even though it was late, there was still an opportunity to socialise with others, but there was also plenty of space to be able to spend time alone and read. It definitely had a good volume of travellers without having a crazy hectic vibe. I would definitely stay there again. The location was brilliant.
−I needed to share a powerpoint socket with another person to use my hair dryer in the bedroom. It seemed like there were not enough power sockets for each person. There should be soap in the showers, rather than none, as it is a safety and hygiene factor. Maybe offer paid parking to stop the regulars from getting the parking as they arrive early on the first in basis to encourage them to park on the road. It was a bit challenging finding legal parking.

“I left more tired than when I arrived”
+The staff were pleasant and friendly.
−It was noisy, I had to pay for a towel and people kept leaving the door open and every time someone came into the bathroom the shower curtain would fly open allowing anyone to look in, there was also no where adequate to keep clean clothes whilst showering. I'm an early riser so being located right next to the bar area I managed about 2 hours sleep. I have stayed in many hostels and I won't be retuning to this one.
