Comments: very comfortable living room and kitchen. very warm, and the bathrooms have clean hand towels and soap, which a lot of hostels don't. but, the website gives the impression that there's free continental breakfast and a full working kitchen, which is not the case. no breakfast and only a microwave and fridge. i'd definitely stay there again though.

Comments: They had a door bell that would go off really loud in you ear as you came in and you could hert it go off all night as people would come and go. The rooms didnt have anywhere for your bags and no locks on the dooors, the staff member I meet had no personality, was willing to help, but no spark never seen a smile, and quite akward to talk to, nah wouldnt suggest anyone stay here, especially females as it seems to be a good location for seedy international males of all ages excepted

Comments: The hostel was fine. I had chosen it because there was a kitchen but on arriving with food to cook I found that there was a cooker but it was discontected and there was only a microwave, kettle and toaster. Steak cooked in the microwave was discusting!!

Comments: very good location, inside the town. BUT, the hostel sign board really SMALL! i walked through few times on that street only i found the hostel. For those who like to stay here, the hostel is located beside the city spice and ALL SAINTS.

Comments: The manager was a bit huffy and rude to us, but their younger staffer was really nice. The place itself was nothing exciting, but very clean and perfect for a few nights in Nottingham

Comments: One of the worst staff experiences I've ever had at a hostel. It's not the worst I've been at, but the beds were horribly squeaky, the rooms very cramped, and Nottingham in general is not a great place to be at night--high crime rate.

Comments: Sorry but this was one of my rather crap choices in hostel visits. Rude Staff (manager in particular) and no security and the room was extremely stuffy and I had to get a different bed 3 times within the one room. Not recommended.

Comments: The hostel was overbooked so there were people sleeping in the lounge. This was unfair as no one could sit in the lounge room the next morning till everyone got up. I thought that the price of staying there was way too high for what we received. If we had of spent another £12 each, we could have stayed in a much nicer hotel with our own private room. I have travelled and stayed in hostels all over the world and this was one of the worst ever. The hostel was also freezing all day and night. When I asked for the heating to be turned up, the man replied he didn't know how. Very poorly rated hostel and I would not recommend at all.

Comments: Some may not like the fact there is no lock for the individual rooms, but this did not bother me too much as there were very few other people using the hostel. The shower was hot and the bathroom clean. The price is very good for what you get.

Comments: I didn't like not having a key to the room, especially since Nottingham becomes party central on the weekends, but since they have a curfew I felt safer. I did have a really frightening roommate who kept screaming at the secretary because they had a curfew and he couldn't have a key. I'd probably not stay in Nottingham again, or if I did, I'd pick another hostel.
