Art Hostel

Clean, affordable, and in a great location.The rooms were really nice, each room has a unique theme and everything was kept very clean. Whoever is cleaning this place is doing a fantastic job.The volunteer staff were really nice and they were helpful.The location is perfect. A good distance from the heart of town with parking spaces out front.Keep up the amazing work!

Each room at the hostel has a special theme and is immaculately decorated. There's a wooden bunk house theme, a room with wool strung across the ceiling, another room with driftwood used as a siding in a room. It is in fact an art piece on display for people to come and stay in. A wonderful idea.More importantly, it was a lovely staff that are genuinely cheery and focused on making sure everyone is good. Or they're just good people and it comes off naturally that they care about you. I was happy to interact with Willow one evening who greeted me / I met by throwing a compliment about my rain jacket.Why thank you, I'll walk with a bit of a pip in my step now.When I first got to the hostel, I'd read about a lovely receptionist who took immaculate care of another guest. Well, it must have been this one, I thought. Eiry is always jovial and kind to you. And the smile she shows is hard not to reciprocate. She was always easy to talk to and just generally a lovely human.And then there was Roten, another one of the wonderful staff I was happy to meet at the hostel. Just all good people that like each other, take care of each other, and that is reflected upon the guests that come.Thank you.

Well I've stopped in some places in my time but this was a completely new experience.....I was genuinely scared for my life trying to find the entrance, but then once into the reception we were greeted by smack heads and alco's...... oh how impressive it was, then after the initial shock came the room.Chipwood floor covered in clear resin, with postcards of some old tarted up hag to try and give it a trendy look.A 12tv/video ....... yes video..... combination with about 30 various home taped films for our viewing pleasure.A half used tube of toothpaste to use and a bed side lamp that gave off as much light as a single glow worm in the open air.It's really hard to find a positive about this place apart from I'm glad I only had one night here.Now I'm not a religious bloke but to my surprise we made it out alive

Quite an interesting place, and the price is affordable. The beds are good enough, the toilets and showers are clean, so that's a plus. Each room is unique, but there's not much privacy. For a night it was alright. The staff is helpful and friendly, and the lounge is cozy and has lots of books, magazines, board games. There's a simple free breakfast as well.

Me and my girlfriend stayed one night in Leeds and we thought to stay at this hostel in one of their double rooms. Overall our stay was ok. On the positive side the staff is very friendly and the theme in the rooms is a nice touch. On the negative side, our room was not very clean and the overall standard definitely does not match the price they asked for. we found dusty surfaces, hairs on the floor, spider webs spread across the ceiling and damp patches on the wall. Not enough space available to put our stuff, just some hooks on behind doors. There is a weird smell as soon as you get inside the hostel and throughout the staircase. I understand it’s a hostel so you shouldn’t expect too much but I have been in much better ones.

This is a little gem tucked away to the east of the city centre, but close enough to easily get to anywhere in the city.Once you find it, you quicly realise what a warm and accommodating place it is as you are greeted by very friendly staff.In addition to your shared rooms there is a nice lobby area with books, games and even a guitar where you can just relax and unwind.The shared accommodation is spacious and clean and there are large draws under the lower bunk where your things can be stored and you can lock your drawer if you so desire.In spite of the fact that the place is very close to a motorway the traffic noise level was relatively low and certainly not disturbing as I had expected. However if you need to sleep in total silence, then earplugs are recommended.You get a free breakfast here and during my stay the breakfast room was more like a family gathering as it appeared that several artiste were staying there at the time. It was a really homely feeling to observe their interaction.There are lots ofshowers and toilets available for use at this hostel and that certainly was a plus from my point of view.At the price as well as the convenience of the facilities and the location, I would definitely recommend it to a single traveller like myself. I really felt safe there.

Very cold rooms on the last floor and lots of issues with heating up and temperature control. I don't recommend the place in general.

My and a friend booked the twin room. we struggled a bit with voice controlled functions lol. We finally got the hang of it but failed to switch off the main light. The chandelier in room 1 was big and a bit too close to the single bunk/loft bed. The common kitchen was not always clean and tidy, could with someone cleaning every hour or so as its frequently used.Loved the different lighting settings and experiences for different times of the day in the room. It was very quiet over night, clean bedding and comfy beds as well.Area a bit scary to walk especially at night. The ladies at reception were absolutely lovely. Would visit again to experience the other rooms.

Absolutely love this place. Especially Eiry - that girl is so professional and every morning I was there she buttered my toast for me and dipped her toe in my tea to make sure it was just right. Will be visiting again!!!

We really enjoyed our stay. We came for one night and for the 5 of us it was only about £24 each. The room was lovely and the toilets and kitchen were extremely clean. Staff was lovely and made us feel welcome. Would definitely stay again!
