   I enjoyed my one night stay. Check in was a 4pm. The room and bunk bed were clean.the free wifi worked well. Free breakfast in the morning was nice. I had toast and coffee The location is very central to the city centre. For £28 for a nights stay is great value.

   If I ever find myself in Plymouth again, I would definitely be staying here again! The staff are all so lovely and knowledgeable about the location, friendly and helpful in any way they can be. I was able to check in a bit later as my train was delayed and Karen stayed awake to let me in and check me in. Brian gave me wonderful suggestions on what to do for the day and it ended up being the best day ever! Ran into Neal getting off the Ferry & he gave myself and another hostel friend a tour around the area and showing us places to go and a really good view of the tower. The hostel itself is clean, welcoming and feels like you’re staying at your grandparents place. Little knickknacks everywhere means you’re never bored of looking at things, beds are comfy, rooms are clean. Toilet was difficult to flush and bathroom is a bit small but if you’re not fussy and happy for the price and location, there is no complaints.

   For £23/night, 10/10. Quaint little hostel and the staff run a tight ship. I came here for a couple nights to take a break from the weather during a camping trip. I arrived early and was very grateful to be allowed to leave my luggage in the staff area while I walked around town, waiting for my room to be available. Once I arrived, I was given a helpful tour. I had all the instructions I needed to make my stay. The communal area is very welcoming and carries a calm atmosphere at all times of the day. Brilliant for taking a load off and relaxing. There is plenty of space to put your own food in the dining area and even bins for yourself to label your name on. Lovely. The beds were comfy, the bathroom was clean, there was a table to sit at in the room, a towel comes for free, and there were plenty of places to plug in my devices. Cautions: The laundry is clean but the detergent leaves a very strong scent. If you like hot, hot showers, that isn't gonna happen here. The shower water stayed lukewarm -but it wasn't uncomfortable to shower in. A fine temperature for a fine shower. The shower stream is also very powerful (which is great to clean you well as a backpacker!) -but the water can be a bit of a bother for those with sensitive skin. The rooms are not wheelchair accessible.

   Clean beds, good location, great price. Spacious common areas. Very friendly and helpful staff. They were happy to hold my suitcase and hand it to the postman to be shipped home while I was away. Breakfast is toast, cereal, coffee, tea and juice, but it's included in the already low price. Overall, I am happy with my stay here, and will be back next time I'm in Plymouth. 15-20 min walk from train station. If you're looking to explore Cornwall on a budget, this is a great place to do it from.

   The room I had was small but clean. Suited perfectly for a flying visit. There is a communal space with tea/coffee and cereals.

   The room was clean, shower worked well and the bed was comfy. There was nice free breakfast with a variety of cereals in the morning and free beverages throughout the day. James and Karen were really helpful and made sure that everything was alright for us. Overall, a very good experience

   I stayed with a couple of my friends and we had a private booking, we all really enjoyed our stay here :) Very warm and welcoming staff, the Atmosphere is super friendly and homely as well. Sure, everything might be a bit old but it's neatly decorated and properly cleaned, everything works as intended and I felt comfortable living here. Location is perfect, close to the City Center and nearby sights, as well as to the train station and the ferry. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and fairly nice and the free breakfast is a big plus. Will definitely be staying here again if I ever return to Plymouth.
