Honestly one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. The owner was the best host ever, catered to my every need. The free breakfast is also amazing. First place i stayed in my Europe trip and it was honestly an amazing start to the trip.

Exactly what you expect for a cheap stay- atmosphere was very good in the pub and landlord was a good laugh. The breakfast is good enough if you want some quick cereal before you head out. Will stay again!

Peter was a lovely host and was incredibly friendly. It was tricky to get hold of him when I arrived but when he was made aware he came very quickly. The pub had live music until 12 and then had the smoking area just outside the room. This did lead to a lot of noise at night but once it died down I was able to get to sleep. The stay was a budget stay, so I did not have high expectations. It is a great option for a sleep stop. I found that the room was too claustrophobic with the amount of beds in there.

This is a great place to stay. We used this hotel as our base as we backpacked across Europe. My wife especially enjoyed making our own breakfast in the fully stocked kitchen. Peter was a great host with lots of tips that made our travels even more enjoyable. The Swinton Train Station is a short walk from the hotel. Everything was great!

We needed an overnight stay. The Oddfellows is in poor shape. Room was adequate and reflected what we paid. Bathrooms at either end of corridor, toilet roll taken by other guests as soon as replaced by owner. Bed was comfortable and overall our stay was good. We wish the owner luck with his future plans.

Peter was a wondeful host, even getting me a fresh towel late at night when I was coming home late from a festival. The room was a shared dormitory with bedding done daily and the toilet facilities were kept clean. The rooms are above a small pub which gets a little lively on the weekend but you get a 10% discount on the already cheap drinks. Would stay again happily.

Peter was a very good host and is very helpful. He upgraded my room for one night because of a cancellation and I appreciate it. Although the cleanliness and hygiene was not up to my expectation. The plates and bowls at the breakfast were not clean and the bedding seemed to not have been changed in the dorm room for sometime. Overall for the price I paid it was a good stay.
