Clean and well equipped hostel in a very convenient location. Portrait art on the walls really livened up the place as well.

Slight delay to get in when it was late (22:50): several buzz a few mins apart and nobody was answering the phone. Luckily someone came in. Otherwise really good stay: friendly staff, bedroom spacious, bed comfortable and great facilities.

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.

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
