The double room we stayed in cost us £30. For that price we did not expect to much. However we did expect a room that was infested with bedbugs! We woke in the middle of the night covered in bugs. They were under the pillows and amongst the duvet. The bed sheet had a nice spattering of our blood! A terrible night! I informed the Manager (send him on a management course please) the next morning only to be told that they thought they cleared up that problem!

This has to be the worst place to stay on earth. Disgusting rooms (both dorms and bathroom/shower), broken windows, just crap. We wanted to stay two nights initially, but upon arrival decided to leave after one night.

I thought that they guy running this place was incredibly rude and in serious need of a course in customer service. The rooms are distgusting, the kitchen smelt of rotting fish, and the bathrooms had no loo roll. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

The guy who runs the place shoudn't be there -- he is working with people all over the world and is an out and out racist.

Excellent place. Lots of things to do. I like it. I recommend it to those who want to come to Plymouth, either long or short term.

Great. The people are friendly, you get all the stuff you need and there are no problems with toilets, as there are as many up as there are down. And the manager Simon is particularly very friendly and just makes sure you have a great time.

I had a brilliant time here, mainly because it was a bit weird. There was not a single boring moment, and I got on very well with the couple managing the hostel. Okay, there are too few bathrooms, but, hey, if you can't wait for five minutes then you shouldn't go to a backpacker hostel. It's the people who shape the place, and Plymouth definitely gets my thumbs-up!

This hostel wasn't bad, but not great either. Serious lack of bathrooms, and usually a lack of toilet paper. Staff were friendly. My room was above the TV room, so all you could hear at night was a ridiculously loud horror film. Clientele were strange-mostly "matured."
