Usual YHA setup but in interesting and peaceful location on a private courtyard, nice and quiet even in the heart of Berwick.
Breakfast made to order and very good, includes coffee or you can have one made on an espresso machine for an up charge. Private rooms available with en-suite was a good balance of value for money and privacy
While I only had a short stay, the establishment and the friendliness of the staff was top notch! I thought the accomodations were more than adequate for my single night stay, and the proximity to the water and restaurants and water was amazing. A great stay.
The staff were super friendly full of knowledge regarding local are.
Didnt have drinks facilities in room but did have fantastic kitchenette on top floor so don't forget to pack your teas and coffees.
Lots communal areas for families with board games and books on offer as well as quiet spaces if you just needed to kick back and relax
The staff were really friendly and gave us loads of advice about where to visit during our stay. The breakfast was lovely. The building was outstanding. A very peaceful night's sleep and the shower was super powerful and amazing
Stayed here many times and only downside is the older people who have outdated views who stay here .
Great access to the Scottish border and Edinburgh and Glasgow
This an innovative property developed by a local Trust which restored a historic building in a declining neighborhood into a combined art gallery, conference facilty, bistro and hostel. It is modern, clean, and close to many fine restaurants and bus and train transportation. This is an excellent location for access to Edinburgh to the north, Newcastle to the south, and nearby tourist attractions, and affordable!
Overall a very good value place to stay, and as long as you know the place’s limits in advance you can plan round them. A bit on the basic side (no desk in the room, no towels, no dedicated wifi (something cloudy that didn’t work on 4th floor, so I tethered iPad to phone). toilet and shower a bit “military grade” but the price point was exceptional. Most of the staff were really friendly. Oh yeah there was a bit of a smell in the 4th floor corridor, but this was only in the corridor not in the room thankfully.
We found it hard to find the entrance when first arriving. Reception/ restaurant area is warm & inviting.
Our room was a good size, paying similar to hotel properties, i would expect towels to be included in the room price. Other than that it it was a nice stay. Close to town.
