We stayed 7 days in this hostel and we had a great time. We booked a twin room. It was really confortable, spacious, with a tv and a couch. The kitchen was fitted like at home ( oven, microwave, fridge, all we need). There were 3 bathrooms, all cleaned everyday. The hostel was well situated, next to victoria bus station... More

I stayed here the 1st night of a 5 week SuperbTrip to the Greek Cyclades Islands via Italy in order to get a £15 flight from East Midlands Airport to Milan. Everything was excellent. Very comfortable bed, clean, good facilities, great service. A gem.

A group of 6 of us stayed for 1 night in 2 rooms. One double private & 1 mixed dorm for 4. The rooms weren't in the main building, they were above the Londis shop over the road. I thought this a little odd at first but it was ideal. Only a couple of rooms on each of the 2... More

I went 2 times in this hostel, the first time during 3 months (summer 2012), and the second one 1 week (begining of 2013). The hostel is clean, cheap, well equipped (pool, TV, music) and comfortable. The staff is really nice, friendly, helpful, welcoming and knows perfectly the region. Atmosphere is also good in this youth hostel, friendly, there is... More

Very comfortable and clean! The kitchen has everything you need, the rooms are big and nice. The staff is very helpful, and the location is very good as well, close to the city center and with good bus connections to everywhere in Nottingham.

Lovely clean room, modern kitchen very well equipped. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Ignore other more dampening reviews. Those people obviously forgot they were staying in a hostel and not the Hilton and as for those dissing the staff they merely run a hostel so if you want anything more you morons need to go to Tourist Information. Would... More

I spent a night in one of the annexe rooms which was called 'Boat' (2 single beds). It faced the street but was very quiet. there was a shared bathroom but this was very close and not a problem. The shower in the bathroom not the best ever but was adequate. Very good value indeed. The staff were lovely and... More

Other guests were mainly young European backpackers, including several long-term tenants. The place has a friendly, slightly hippy vibe. The kitchen had enough to make dinner. Rooms were clean and tidy. For £16/night I have no complaints, and will use the place again.
