Unfortunately i stayed at this place for three nights and it was awful, wanted to leave the moment i got there but every where else was fully booked as it was the carnival. The place is covered in filth and falling a part, including the rooms! I have never slept on such a dirty mattress or had a shower in such grime! How this place still manages to keep running has totally baffled me. Most the staff treat the place as a doss house, help themselves to the backpackers' food and invite friends to sleep on the sofa after smoking away in the common room. The rooms look nothing like the photos that are up on many of these websites. The manager has private lock-ins downstairs in the pub where he kept us up till 4 a.m. playing booming loud music. He was extremely rude and would not recommend this place to anyone to stay in. Glastonbury its self is a beautiful place to visit though so i'm sure you'll find a decent place to stay in. Anywhere would be better than here.

4 Quirky but good. Rooms are painted vivid colors (yellow, purple, blue) and called, reasonably enough, "Yellow Room" or "Purple Room," and there's a pub downstairs that serves food as well as drink. Kitchen facilities are excellent and the couch in front of the TV is comfortable so you can relax while you eat your dinner. If someone's shouting into the pay phone nearby, be patient. they'll go away eventually. The hostel is located right in the center of Glastonbury, so you're within easy walking distance of shops and the Glastonbury Abbey.
