good clean hostel
just needed a room to stay pretty last minute with my son who had a rugby tournament. we had a room with 2 bunks because that was the only thing available. its cheap and cheerful. its close to the train station if you need to access London
Staff were freindly and extremely helpful. Room was basic but comfortable. Experience was tainted by an occupent upstairs who proceeded to bang on his floor for some time. I contacted reception to complain and the noise did seem to subside after and staff cant be held to account for guests behaviour. Nonetheless, it did spoil my experience and is reflected in this review.
Lovely location. Very handy to walk to restaurants but has facilities to cook if you want. Clean and comfy rooms. Stayed her with a colleague who had never stayed in a youth hostel before. She loved it.
I was allocated a big loft type of room on 1st floor. Due to poor ventilation even late at night and all thru the night it was so warm and hot and could not sleep well. The only one window cannot be opened fully.
The room needs to be air conditioned or need a better ventilation system.
We stayed over only one night, because we was going to a surprise 60th birthday. which was just over the road at the red cow. Location, accommodation, facilities, breakfast, price was great. Definitely would stay over again.
Like: location. darkness at night. value. staff. coffee.
Dislike: parking to many cars. No wifi in rooms and wifi poor in reception . accommodation kitchens are very good but once you get a family in there the room disappears.
This property is like staying in a rural location in the middle of nowhere and yet you are 3 minutes from a main train station to London and beyond. The room was clean, duvet and pillows great and the bed was comfy. Staff in reception were super nice I loved it!
The staff were friendly .The main building seemed nice ,clean and updated.The location was great within a country park and only a couple of minutes walk to the station.The beds were clean and comfortable.
However, our room was in a seperate cabin.The furnishings were grubby and marked and the shower was very badly water stained ,with smeared marks behind the door and needed attention .
Uncovered food was left in the com6unal fridge.The beds were very clean and comfortable.
