First got there, the man at reception wasn’t the friendliest. Gave us a hostel room when that was not on the booking at all, the room was completely falling apart, extremely dirty pillows and the cleanliness was just awful (photo evidence), could barely sleep due to upstairs people, constantly banging and stomping, we need complain but nothing was done about it. The beds themselves were super uncomfy.

Probably the best value seaview anywhere in Britain, I took the equivalent of the presidential suite (own room, own bathroom, own Lavvie) and I secretly looked down at the sometimes grungey but always sweet natured. However, it didn’t end well because I didn’t realise that you were supposed to tidy up after yourself and word of my six-days of presidential larging was quickly comported to a young staffer who declared, with an admixture of vengefulness and pity, that I had been summarily put on the banned list. Ironically, this was perhaps the first longer stay premiers where I hadn’t sneaked a ciggie in the bathroom, and yet I was found guilty, perhaps by dint of the ghosts of ashtrays past crying in the air for retribution. Anyway, it’s a great place, incredible value, lovely people. It’s just that they set a higher moral standard than that which I’m capable of following. And for these reasons, I apologise and wish everyone well.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The positive thing about this accommodation is that it is very close to the beach, and the second is the cleanliness of the room. I got a double room which only had one double bed and it was not suitable for two people. And it had a very small window. There was no any fridge. I felt like I was in a prison and I was trying to get out. And because it was located on the main street, it was very crowded and noisy and I couldn't sleep at night.

This is the best place to stay for people with a lower budget. We booked a room with a private bathroom. It’s in the city centre/next to the beach and the pier! The facilities could use some TLC but it’s not that bad. Would definitely come back here again. Thank you!

Great hostel! I really love the lounge area! It was chill and quiet and had a wonderful coffee shop vibe. I enjoyed my stay; everything was great. The internet was a bit unsteady on the upper floors, but other than that, I'd stay again for sure.

0 facilities, blood stained curtains, £2.50 towel.
Never given a hotel 1 star till today. : Understand it's a hostel, but booked a private room would atleast expect towels (£2.50 each to borrow) to be free, never in my life had to pay for them anywhere I stayed before. No basics such as hairdryer, shampoo, soap, kettle/drink facilities ect. Really is the bare minimum you get. For a. 4 star accommodation it doesn't add up. Inside Curtains could easily be cleaned but covered in blood or something aswell. Disgusting!! Bit more effort to clean wouldn't have gone a miss Weird that they have a wonderful done up bathroom but still charge for towels. Room was spacious & perfect location decent view atleast.

1 night stay,for football.
was a little disappointed to be honest,the bed was comfortable enough,strangely placed right in front of a large window,meaning i had to have the curtains closed,even in daylight,strange too that the tv was positioned behind the head of the bed,meaning i had to stand to view it.i did not have the tv on for long though,as the lack of signal meant having it on was for the most part,a waste of time.there was no kettle in my room,and in the bathroom,i had a bath,but no shower,this strangely,was right in front of the window too.for the £130 i paid for the night,i would've expected towels to be supplied for free,but,no,(good job i brought my own)these were for hire! staff were very nice and helpful,and i slept very well,however,i certainly couldn't describe my stay as value for money,so,therefor,wouldn't be staying here again.
