Treated my mum to a little weekend away here and we were not disappointed. You cannot get much better value than £35 for a night in clean and comfortable surroundings within an amazing location. The cooked breakfast is also worth a mention- delish! Staff were super friendly and helpful especially when there had been a room mix up.

Please note this is such good value and that does come at a cost- luxurious it is not but it is as comfortable as it can be. We were given a room “upgrade” to a room that slept 6 and although yes it was larger, the beds were all bunks- not ideal when travelling with your mum! Watch out for this when booking via booking.com as the YHA say they can’t guarantee you a room type.

Nice hostel, clean, good rooms, friendly staff and great location. Excellent value for money. Really good kitchen facilities and lots to do meaning we'd definitely bring the kids here in future.

The only let down for us was the vegetarian breakfast. Actual vegetable sausages rather than a proper sausage alternative. Nothing wrong with them per se, but even though we don't eat meat, we really don't want to east carrots, peas and sweetcorn first thing in the morning. The rest of the cooked breakfast was spot on so work on the sausages and it would be 10/10.

Had spacious room, as put in family one, only 2 of us, but liked it- loads of storage. Great kitchen/ diner facilities, all you need. Been able to store luggage before and after check in/out is fantastic when you travel by train- dont have to drag around. Staff friendly Clean Location perfect for town, buses/trains. Building lovely design

Beds were a little squeaky and uncomfortable after 3 nights and as they were all bunk beds more squashed when sat up in bed. Drains smell in bathroom ( but should have said at time- sure if anything could have been done they would)

Located close to the harbor and the various sightseeing spots. Staff are courteous Common kitchen had a good dining area and having a fridge was great

We had booked for a private room with twin beds but we were accommodated into a 5-bed room. While room was spacious and no one else was booked into the room, our beds were not beside one another was we had wanted. There was someone's shoe in one of the cupboards and a used water bottle near one of the beds Water in wash basin didn't drain very well

For a youth hostel, despite basic furnishings in the room, this proved an excellent choice for a short stopover. Not stayed in a YHA for many years, but the heritage building was lovely, the facilities good, and the location was second to none. Will definitely be back, and then make use of the excellent shared kitchen. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The room was a little more basic than it needed be. Like having nowhere to put down things in the wetroom shower without them getting wet. Some of the guests were a bit rude to the staff at breakfast, turning up late and then demanding it be put out again, which felt a shame. Get with the team folks.

The location was great, lovely by the Quay side. Right in the centre of the town. Amazing building, good car park. Bedrooms were clean and the beds and bedding were really comfy. The Lobby was a great little hub to chill out. Nice to get a coffee and play with kids. The cafe was great.

The kids area and eating area was a bit tired and shabby. They were short staffed so the evening menu weren't always reliable.

Very friendly helpful staff, interesting mix of purpose within the renovated old granary. Good to see an old building repurposed instead of flattened. Ground floor cafe/open space well used warm and welcoming, food good and reasonably priced. Only 10 mins walk from the railway station, easy access to coastal path and beaches very pleasant couple of days spent here

The mattress might not be to everyone's like, that's a very personal thing. But all linen clean and comfortable. Nothing else to say.

This is a very modern hostel that has set a high benchmark for hostel accommodation. It has simple rooms but they are clean and comfortable with good heating. A great commercial style kitchen to cook for yourself or a bistro that offers breakfast, lunch and dinner options for pretty cheap prices. The location is excellent - right in the centre of town. We are bike packers and were able to keep our bikes secure in their purpose built bike shed. We were also able to check in early which we appreciated.

We got quite a frosty welcome by the two staff members at reception and were made to feel like we were an inconvenience by showing up at 2pm asking to store our bikes and packs until check in time, even though this is what we’d been advised to do by the establishment. Perhaps they were having a bad day and didn’t feel like being at work - and my advice would be perhaps find a job not in customer service if it’s not your thing!! We found all the other staff members to be lovely.

Location was excellent. Historical building. Excellent facilities - food, bar, café, local information, second hand books to buy, seating for dining and relaxing, outdoor seating.

The shower. It felt like a shower at school from the 1980s. No shower head so flow was in a narrow stream and whilst I appreciate the flooring is practical it didn’t feel nice underfoot and it was wet as shower didn’t drain completely. It was hot though. Also not a fan of the plastic mattresses. Again, I know it’s practical but perhaps washable mattress protectors could improve this.

Loved staying in such a quirky building with so much history and so beautifully refurbished inside. Rooms were beautifully clean and spacious. The staff are absolutely fabulous, so welcoming and friendly. We thought Scott was brilliant and really lovely. As was the gentlemen who cooked and served our breakfasts (also delicious!) The staff are the heart and soul of this place and a credit to the YHA.
