It's so difficult to rate YHA hostels as they are just hostels, not hotels. Saying that, there are certain aspects that should still be excellent regardless of the age of the building or the price of the room. This was our second stay at this youth hostel. The first time, we were given a room on the first floor which was terribly noisy due to people in the bedroom above and the sitting room below. This time, we had a room on the second floor which was much quieter, although the walls between the rooms were very thin. There are several sitting rooms/communal areas plus a cafe/dining room for people who don't want to cook. We had breakfast there on one morning, and the food was very good. The self-catering kitchen/diner isn't really big enough considering how many people can stay here. There are only two sinks, and it was lacking some basic equipment such as a cheese grater when we stayed. Facilities on the second floor were less than adequate. The door on one toilet was broken, leaving only one other toilet, which had a door that was difficult to close. There was also only one shower left after someone got stuck in the second shower due to a faulty lock, and had to be rescued on our last day. Overall, this is a beautiful youth hostel in a lovely area, but not very well maintained as seems to be the case with a lot of YHA hostels, sadly.
