This is on the uni property and close to BSI for easy access to bus system. Lots to do nearby without being in the tourist area. Quiet and relaxing. Easy walk into town center.

Great stay especially if you are on a budget
Very easy to walk to from bus terminal (10 mins) and same for getting into centre. Very clean with comfortable beds. Helpful staff at front desk. Use of kitchen with fridge space so you can keep costs to a minimum if you wish. Jigsaws in the lounge area if you wish something to do in the evenings. Shared toilet/showers but these are very clean so wasn't an issue. Would stay again quite happily.

The location and the rooms were great. The check-in was rather unfriendly by person at the reception. Rather abrupt. The other aspect that we did not understand was the bathroom. Everytime we had a shower, nearly the whole floor got wet. The Shower had a shower curtain, though.

We had an excellent stay at Student Hostel. It was an easy walk to the downtown area which offers so much to see and do. The bus stop is right outside the hostel if you’d like to explore a little further. The beds were very comfortable which left us well rested for our next day’s adventures.
