Was a nice friendly hostel. Slightly aged facilities but in good working order. Hot water and shower pressure was good. Individual plug points and light for each bed. Better sound proofing between rooms and walkway would be nice. But overall a good hostel.

The hostel closes at 11:00 pm. So if you come after that time you're not allowed to enter the hostel.

Wish I’d had a longer layover to explore and utilize the offerings. Only reason for the 4/5 is more so for the unknown of who you’ll get bunked with. Not necessarily controllable from your own or the facilities end. Felt secure and safe and that they provided everything I needed for a short solo stay. Clean bed, towels and charging abilities for each individual bunk. The 1st floor bathroom was private but did feel like a college guys bathroom. Functional but I didn’t want to take a shower there. Lastly, the space itself and staff were lovely, follow the signs around the bend and you’re created with a well kept and cheery space.

Sovesal var nyt for mig, men det fungerede fint, bl.a fordi sengene nærmest var alkover, så jeg ikke oplevede det som en sovesal . Det eneste jeg manglede var et aflåst skab

All very enjoyable. Only problem was the door to the dormitories was open (should have been locked for safety) and one person was having a conversation that echoed around the corridor. This stopped before 10pm but would’ve been better if they’d closed the door that should’ve been closed.

Was a bit unsure of what to expect as a 50yo but this place was fantastic & I didn’t feel out of place whatsoever. The staff are super friendly & helpful. Our room was really comfy (designed with neurodiversity in mind). I think my bed was actually a hospital type bed but it was sooo comfy & I could change mattress settings etc. The room was also voice activated too which was quirky. You can use the communal kitchen too to make yourself drinks and prepare food etc. They provide tea and coffee and odd bits to help yourself to but bring your own milk. I really would recommend this hostel. I also liked the fact that monies from guests goes back in to the project. Hostel is situated close to centre and near Victorian quarter so easy to walk in to central Leeds and First Direct arena to.

Room 7 had a huge bed bug infestation. They were literally crawling everywhere on the floor and beds. They moved my room eventually and said they will give me a full refund, but I would stay well away from this place until the management can absolutely guarantee that this issue has been thorough dealt with!!!

One night stay for a gig in Leeds, the lady on reception was the most welcoming of any staff I’ve ever come across in properties I’ve stayed at . The place was nice and quiet and well presented. It done exactly what was required, the only negative I would say was that the room was very cold and the heater only stopped on for a short period of time but that also could have been myself not knowing how to work it correctly. Otherwise it was a great price and a great location for wandering to the arena with plenty pubs/bars along the route. I would happily stay again.

Great stay overall. The staff were helpful and accommodating throughout. We stayed in the downstairs accessible room, which was very calm, open and relaxing. If I had minor critiques: the space could do with notices or enforcement of quieter times after key hours as lots of people stomping and yelling in halls before 7 and after 11, and in our actual room the red emergency cord didn't reach the bathroom floor. But I can't really fault much; my greatest reluctance in this review is that more people may come and stay and then I won't be able to book for it being full! 😂
