Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 23rd October 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Nice place, feels homely in an intresting way. Worth a stay if your down in the south west...

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 15th September 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: hostel owner was nice. House was ok, though musty smell and in need of a paint job. (I suppose I am spoiled by the hotel-like hostels I\'ve been staying in.) Mattress bag of springs. Positive side: bathrooms recently renovated and pretty clean. Kitchen fully equipped, tv room rather comfy and dining area and patio good potential to meet others.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 8th September 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: From my personal point of view, this place is excellent for short-term stays, such as weekends. However depending on which room you rent out. It aint good for long-term stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 24th August 2008 Male 31-40 4/5 Comments: nice old house, a little bit outside of torquay centre (quiet); shower works with 50 pence coins (you got 7 minutes of time then, but thats all right); the woman running the hostel speaks german

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 25th August 2008 Couple 31-40 3/5 Comments: very noisy but it`s not the hostel fault. A very positive point : a very helpful and kind staff.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 8th August 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Good location. Friendly, helpful staff. The hostel is somewhat dilapidated and unloved, and could do with a make-over and a damn good clean. However, the shower stalls in the bathrooms are new & clean, & run plenty of hot water. Kitchen, diningroom & lounge are passable. Could do with new bedlinen, my sheets were old threadbare. All in all, its OK for the price.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 21st August 2008 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: had 2 whate 1.5hrs to get seved, the showers were dirty and non or only one hook for your clothes and towl the place is not in the area it should be had to walk 1/4 mile up the road in the rain when the foad starts up again

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 18th July 2008 Couple 41+ 2/5 Comments: We expect for 35 Pounds/double room a standard like the backpacker Canterbury. But the outside and the inside of the house looks ugly/dirty, an accommodation for homeless person. No towels in the room, but in offer for 50 p.each. For the reserv. backpacker Plymouth we had to pay the full price, not only a deposit. Probably Plymouth backpacker guests, who had carried out only a deposit , look immediately for another another accommodation. My judgement: terribly, dreadfully !!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Finland 19th July 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: The pillows and blankets were rather dirty and old. It can't be too expensive to buy new ones and paint the walls, which had cracks in them. But then again, the kitchen was well-equipped, location was nice (near the centre and the harbour) and the dining room had a lovely long table.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating China 3rd May 2008 - - 1/5 Comments: I havent live there on the booking day, they said they can refund the money but actually they charge me twice as the money I should pay . They cheat customer

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 18th June 2008 Female 41+ 4/5 Comments: Great shower! Thought I would mention that first off because all too frequently the showers in hostels are terrible. Within walking distance to city centre & seaside.Great dinning room & T.V. lounge-comfy couches and roomy. Found the hostel receptionist very firendly & helpful. I think this hostel is good value for the money I paid.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 17th June 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Not the worst hostel Ive ever stayed at but, definately not the best. None of the doors (especially the bathroom door in my room) had handles. If you dont mind peeling walls, threadbare pillows and strange smells, than this may be the place for you.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Belgium 6th June 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Bad Bugs !, some Irish guy who was staying there for months tried to steal my shampoo..

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 24th May 2008 - - 2/5 Comments: Looks like they had started to renovate/re-decorate and they really should continue with it. Manager was a bit slack in checking people in. Not much to see or do in Plymouth.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating China 15th May 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: warm staff!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 5th May 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: It is an average hostel that did fine for a long weekend. Staff could have been more helpful as we rang to let them know our train was delayed and they said it wasn't a problem but when we got to the hostel it was all locked up and we had to wait for other guests to come along before we could get in. Nice TV lounge

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 23rd April 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Pretty basic but definitely worth a visit.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 6th April 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Having £3 daily permit parking available outside was very helpful

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Scotland 2nd March 2008 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: My friends and I thought the hostel needed some renovations. The walls had cracks in them and paint and wallpaper flaking off. The lock in out room did not work by the hostel staff repaired this the same day we reported it. The light switch in our room had a crack which could be dangerous as we could have got an electric shock and the hot tap on the sink in the room rattled noisily when you switched it on. The staff where helpful and friendly and the location could not be better as right on the town centre. The security was fine as there was a combi lock on the front door.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 17th February 2008 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: We really had good time, we found the place correct and nice. The staff is really nice. If we have the occasion to go back in Plymouth, we'll choose the same place ;)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 7th December 2007 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Not top notch, but ok. Facilities are alright, staff are friendly (but not always easy to find), and its pretty easy to meet people.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 16th December 2007 Female 31-40 3/5 Comments: This hostel is in a greaat location, and I guess you shouldn't expect to much for 12 quid. It is full of long termers. It has good kitchen, dining and TV faclities, but isn't particularly clean.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 14th December 2007 - - 3/5 Comments: The hostel was nice...possibly the best part of Bristol (?). It served our purposes well and we had ensuite in the girls room, which ruled.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 29th August 2007 Female 31-40 2/5 Comments: Made the accomodation we observed that the room don´t had the minimum conditions of cleaning (insects in the bed), reason why annuled our stay. The direction apologize saying that one was the first time and give back our paid money.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Austria 23rd October 2007 Couple 18-24 3/5 Comments: ok, but too loud to have enough sleep!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 18th October 2007 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: When I stayed here, the hostel was undergoing some major improvements. It wasn't bad for a hostel even under those conditions, so I'm sure when the improvement work is done it will be great! It's COLD at night in Plymouth and the radiator in my room wasn't working, so that's something to keep in mind.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 5th October 2007 - - 3/5 Comments: Well run and relaxed large house rather than rabbit warrenas hostels can be.Thank you Simon and Paul for good management and friendly assistance.Up a steep hill from train or bus stations - suggest if you have a pack that you take a 25 bus from town which will drop you across the road - you can get a bus outside the railway station as well into town.Recommend to adults as well as traditional backpackers.
