    A Gorgeous Hostel In A Gorgeous Town

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were a bit small but the bedspaces were big enough and the lockers were big enough to put all your backpacks in. The beds were comfortable and they provided curtains for some privacy. There is a nice common space and dinning room to meet people. The hostel is not far from the beach and bus station. They provide female and male seperate sanitary rooms.

    The showers have a ten second push button, but I think this is pretty normal for hostels

    The beds were private with curtains and they were actually long enough so you felt like you had space!

    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.

    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!

    Wifi cut out in the bedroom sometimes - and St Ives have very sketchy signal so was annoying when it cut off. However, as it was free and fast when connected, its a minor annoyance.

    Location is amazing, staff were SOOO friendly. Beds were very clean and very comfy!

    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 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

    I missed somewhere to place luggage to open in a practical way and maybe a shelf for other things, and I would also appreciate some hooks to hang stuff on. Maybe also a chair. Floor was sticky so it did not feel clean.

    Cozy hostel with nice atmosphere, helpful staff and good rooms. Perfect location in the city and sleeping and shower was workign really well.
