I have stayed in the 'Backpackers' many times and I have still to find a fault with this hostel. Its cheap, clean and in a magnificent location. Its bang in the middle of Newcastle, close to all local amenities and attractions. The staff are really friendly and will go out of their way to help you find what you need.... More

Well, I was nervous about staying here as I am used to staying in hotels (and sometimes gorgeous hotels) I was pleasantly surprised (I imagined something very dirty with people lying in the halls!). There was a mixed group of 11 down for a friends birthday. DO NOT STAY HERE AT THE WEEKEND IF YOU WANT TO SLEEP luckily we... More

My boyfriend and I have stayed here twice in 2 years and will return again. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. On both occassions we were given our own private room, which was really good! The first time we stayed here we had no problems at all, I even walked down to the kitchen alone at 5am to get... More

I hadn't booked but was treated brilliantly by all the staff and given very reasonable rates. The rooms and facilities are basic but clean (nb. Breakfast is just toast+hot drinks). Because of the central location it's easy to travel to&from, popular with people going out to enjoy Newcastle's nightlife but this means weekend nights can be noisy.**NB. Staff vg at... More

I think this is a young persons place so bear this in mind. Peaceful in day. Night maybe problem for sleep. Common room gives bad vibes. Security good for locking things away. One staff shines miles above rest. This is Katy. Nice cleaners.

Great hostel, stayed with a large group in a 12 bed dorm, room was huge and clean, the only downfall was that there was only 1 plug for the whole room...not too bad for us but a bit awkward if sharing a room with strangers! However this was the only downfall, lovely staff, fantatsic location and clean. Probably a bit... More

I stayed here to go to the concert in radio metro centre in the city centre. It was like a typical hostel in the city at first but it was very clean compared with other British hostels I stayed before. People there was very friendly. I suggest them to develop their booking system because it was bit scary to tell... More
