It was very cheap (£12p.p/p.n) so jumped on the price as a student. I didn't know what to expect but was happily suprised. We were placed in a large room (with separate shower and toilet room). The whole place was fairly sustainable and the price included an all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast. The food there was very nice.
The staff at the hostel were also very welcoming and offered great advice on where to eat and what to do. They also provided directions to walk to Belgium in under 2 hours and went out of their way to help us.
After checkout, we were able to use the secured luggage room to store our bags so didn't have to carry them with us for the final day. They allowed us to keep them in there as long as needed, which was a great help.
In terms of location, it was perfect. It is just outside the city centre, which allowed for more exploration of the local area. However, it was still close enough to reach in within a 5 minute walk.
