Plymouth Backpackers

For £23/night, 10/10. Quaint little hostel and the staff run a tight ship. I came here for a couple nights to take a break from the weather during a camping trip. I arrived early and was very grateful to be allowed to leave my luggage in the staff area while I walked around town, waiting for my room to be available. Once I arrived, I was given a helpful tour. I had all the instructions I needed to make my stay. The communal area is very welcoming and carries a calm atmosphere at all times of the day. Brilliant for taking a load off and relaxing. There is plenty of space to put your own food in the dining area and even bins for yourself to label your name on. Lovely. The beds were comfy, the bathroom was clean, there was a table to sit at in the room, a towel comes for free, and there were plenty of places to plug in my devices. Cautions: The laundry is clean but the detergent leaves a very strong scent. If you like hot, hot showers, that isn't gonna happen here. The shower water stayed lukewarm -but it wasn't uncomfortable to shower in. A fine temperature for a fine shower. The shower stream is also very powerful (which is great to clean you well as a backpacker!) -but the water can be a bit of a bother for those with sensitive skin. The rooms are not wheelchair accessible.

The room was clean, shower worked well and the bed was comfy. There was nice free breakfast with a variety of cereals in the morning and free beverages throughout the day. James and Karen were really helpful and made sure that everything was alright for us. Overall, a very good experience
