St Christopher's Newquay

Room was fine. Main issue was taking around 15 minutes to find a staff member who could help me check in.

Decent enough for a night or two.

The main guy (manager I believe) who checked me in was funny. He was really nice and helpful. The cleaning lady in the morning was horrendously rude. You have to expect people to come downstairs early morning for breakfast (if they're unsure of the time) because you're attached to a hostel! Same goes for the bar staff. You must accept you are attached therefore don't be rude when questions are asked and certainly don't tell someone to go back where they came from!! The restaurant food wasn't the best, the spicy beef tasted like it had been re-fried 6 times, it was rock hard. The breakfast was a croissant with no butter. An old apple and a cereal bar. The apple juice was ok at least. The bedrooms and bathrooms in the hostel were horrific. It stank like wee and B.O. The bathrooms don't appear to have been cleaned ever. Peoples used tissues were all over the sink. the shower trays had sand in the bottom for days. The dust on the beds must be months old. It needs some TLC. It's only saving grace was the kindness of the manager from Poland and the views. The surf school attached was awesome as well, but even they expressed their annoyance with the lack of communication from the hostel staff. It's ok if you don't mind being dirty and have little money to travel.

A good place for a big deal

Good staff very helpfull.
