Great central location

Great no frills accomodation but in a great location for all the local facilties and nightlife. Stayed there several times and can't grumble. Be nice if there was somewhere to stores/hang clothes etc in the room but no dramas living out a bag for 2 days.

A lovely hostel with welcoming staff. Clean and comfortable. Nice to have tea and milk available. The female dorm I was in had a lovely old fashioned fireplace and historic feel.

Quite good stay thinking of the price

Thinking of the price, I had a good stay in this hostel. But what I did not like was that all the sockets were gathered in one spot.

Favourite hostel in Newcastle.

Handy little hostel in the middle of Newcastle. Stayed several times before. Can't grumble for the price. Plenty free Brew Kit available in the kitchen. Rooms basic (A Double & Single bunk bed) but clean, what else do you need for an overnighter? I'll be back again...Hopefully I remember to bring a towel this time :-)

Perfect for GNR stay

Stayed here over Great North Run weekend (Saturday) and would recommend - super central location, great atmosphere in the kitchen area, hot showers and rooms are spacious for a hostel. The others in my room were also running, so early nights all round! There is some noise from the street but to be expected on a Saturday night on Grainger Street.

You get what you pay for.

Room was clean. Very basic inside. One bunk bed wit double bed at the bottom and single at the top. If you are 6'3 you will struggle as bed not that big. Only one chair the room. No wardrobe or even small table. No mirror in the room. There is an emergency green light in the room that you can't switch off. It's very annoying as it's to bright in the night. To the toilets and shower you have to got to the other side ot the building through the corridor and small staircase. Hot water in the shower, but you can't control temperature so it might be to hot for some. Electric heater in the room wasn't on when we arrived. It took me a while to get it going. Lady at the reception was OK.

Newcastle on a budget on a Friday night.

The first thing that hit me when I walked into the dorm, was the smell of feet. The room was noisy at night, with fellow residents coming in and out and there was plenty of noise from the street bellow, so one would find resting difficult if a light sleeper. My bed was comfortable, but being on the lower bunk had its disadvantages and I woke whenever the occupant climbed up and down the ladder. Apart from that, I felt like I was in a warm and safe space. My fellow room bunkers were all friendly and the hostel staff were also friendly, welcoming and courteous.

Great value but quite spartan

I usually stay in a different hostel but they had no availability this time. I was happy to find an alternative at a reasonable price but it was rather lacking in comfort. I was warned not to expect the wifi to reach my room - it did, but I had to go down to the lounge to find the password - and the bathroom was at the other end of the corridor. I was fine because I just needed somewhere to stay the night, but just be aware it's a bit on the spartan side
