It was fabulous. The Spice Girls were in town so the place was lively. The hostel is in a great location. Local eateries are wonderful. 10 mins by bus to the city centre. There are plenty of activities and Friday nights are free beer nights! yes free cans of beer served in the communal area. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was wonderful with a choice of 6 cereals, Juice, bread, toast, waffles, pancakes, syrup, coffee etc.
