I liked that everything they do is eco-conscious. They had good beers at the bar for cheap and discounts with the surf school and others. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The kitchen was well equipped and clean. I liked that the place didn't feel over-populated. I loved that they were relaxed about me hanging around in the bar and chill-out area for a while after check out

The front door kept slamming very loudly. People didn't bother to shut it gently, so I think it would be a good idea to install a door damper to soften the bang. Since my room was close to the entrance I heard it a lot

I thought it was very good value for money, and the perfect solution if you wanted to spend a little extra time in St Ives without having to rush back. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was the choice to stay in an all-female dormitory - I am a lone female traveller. The lounge was lovely and had a quiet area to one side for peaceful reflection. Free coffee in the morning - you just help yourself. A good number of toilet cubicles and a good size shower and wash area. Comfortable bed too.

I can’t think of anything that I didn’t like apart from the noise outside at night, which couldn’t be helped and certainly was not any fault of the hostel. If anything could be improved, I’d say (and this is a fairly minor point) - the ladders to the top bunks were uncomfortable to put your feet on, as they are basically metal pipes. If they had something that felt easier to navigate, that would be good. I found that wearing socks made them too slippery, so I went up and down them with bare feet and held on tight to the metal frame of the bunk. Having said that - I love a top bunk.

Great location, close to all the beaches and the town, bus stop etc The staff are really friendly and helpful. The coffee is good especially as its free in the morning. Price was amazing and the communal areas are well set up. Privacy curtains around the bed

The room was noisy, so my sleep was very disrupted. Unfortunately the girls in our room were noisy very late and had the light on around midnight, phones going off in the night. There's should be as many signs up saying to keep noise down at night as there are for the sand! Need some more hooks in the room.

Honestly ..,. Surprisingly nice property. Beds all have certain, chargers, and a light. No locks on the lockers but they are massive. My friend had a lock and both of our backpacks for no problem (plus some). Staff had free coffee from 8-10 which was a nice perk. They also had a cubby with a tv where you could watch Netflix. Great location. Overall, very comfortable stay!

Nothing really, as far as hostels go, I was impressed. Didn’t see or use the kitchen though so I can’t speak to that part of the property.

Gorgeous hostel. Spacious. Lovely staff. Relaxing. Comfy beds. Loved the.privacy curtain, wall lamp and little device shelf. Lovely big kitchen with all the amenities. Perfect location. I'll be back for sure.

There are absolutely no hooks in the communal showers, meaning everyone had to put their stuff on the floor whilst getting changed. This tiny detail would make a world of difference. Also my dorm room was a bit smaller than I'd like.

The hostel was clean, water was warm and there was plenty of common area. The location is perfect, very close to everything! Personnel were kind and helpful. Very good value for the price.

It was a bit hard to get in touch with reception/personnel since they are not always physically at the reception area. I had to wander around a bit and wait to get in touch with them. But they were polite and helpful and I got everything sorted.

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed at! Amazing common areas, spacious and nice rooms with curtains for privacy, kind staff and great vibes all around. Super central yet quiet. Large and clean bathrooms. Pays a lot of attention to sustainability. Has everything you will ever want from and hostel!

The only thing I'd change is that common areas close at 10.00 pm and the lounge at 11.00 pm. 10.00 pm is a bit early in my opinion, but really no big deal. Would stay here over and over again

Location was excellent, the kitchen super well equipped and organised, you can cook all your meals there if you'd like, bathroom always clean, good storage space for luggage in the room, and the people I shared the room were lovely!

Check out at 10am is too early when check in is 2pm. It was said we could check out, leave the luggage to collect later which is nice and good practice, but there wasn't a safe space to do so. We just left our bags in front of the reception and trusted people wouldn't mess with it.

I liked the Weslyan building - especially the light airy lounge/bar area and the whole caring eco ethos of the place and staff. The outside area looked good , but I didn't use it and helpful to know that there is cl0thes washing facility- altho not needed as just a 3 night stay

One night was a bit interrupted by 2 individuals coming into mixed dorm at 3.10am and leaving noisily and smellily around 6am - waking up groans, loud farting and aerosol deoderant spraying- not exactlty charming- I had no sleep from 3.10am and opened the window more

The property was so clean and very neat. It was very appreciative that they manage to keep it so clean. They had good space for kitchen and leisure activities like chill out room . The place is very close to the st ives beaches and market street very affordable and easy for travelers.

Not much engagement with the customer. Might be appreciated if had few in group or in house activities.
