Customer Reviews Newcastle (N Ireland)
| 30 Sep 2011 Paul, Scotland | 50% | |
| Staff could do with some sort of training on how to deal with people and I was not sure they new what they were doing. I did get the impression that paying hostellers like myself were a bit of an inconvenience.
Fixture and fittings badly need an upgrade. The cleaner needs some training too - on how to clean! value was poor the night before I stayed in Belfast whch was a lot cheaper and the standard was far higher. I dont mind paying but in this instance I was not sure what I was paying for.
On a positive note the location was perfect
I am aware that there is not the same compettion in the Newcastle area compared to belfast but that is no exscuse for the negatives I have noted above. | ||

| Change of location cf to printed directions a bit confusing. Poor wi fi availability. No sheets provided, offered or available for hire - so all users use pillows and dunas used by multiple hostellers! A Health Hazard. Hostel response: | ||
