Plymouth Backpackers - Plymouth

Dan.

I enjoyed my one night stay.
Check in was a 4pm. The room and bunk bed were clean.the free wifi worked well.

Free breakfast in the morning was nice. I had toast and coffee

The location is very central to the city centre.

For £28 for a nights stay is great value.

Great value backpackers hostel. Karen & Brian were friendly and helpful. We shared a private room after cycling to Plymouth, and slept soundly.|As you would expect the facilities were basic but clean. Use of the kitchen and breakfast was available.|Would definitely use again.

We had a warm welcome on arrival from James, Brian and Neil. We were a large group and were given our own floor with ensuite rooms, the staff even helped carry our bags up which was very kind.|the bedding was clean and so were the rooms. A few pupils found the showers tricky to figure out, but perhaps that was user error. The décor was quite a talking point with the group, some thought it was fun and interesting and others thought it was, "giving horror vibes".|The breakfast was what you'd expect, cereal, toast and croissants, all very yummy!|The experience was well worth the price and we all enjoyed being there.|A massive thank you to all the staff who kindly bought the pupils cupcakes as a treat.|The pupils would recommend the Plymouth Backpackers.

Home from home! Really welcoming, helpful, friendly manager. Friendly people staying. Clean, comfy room and bed. Big eat as much as you want breakfast with posh bread, jams & spreads and cereal selection. Excellent value for money. Great location in the town centre opposite a friendly artist cafe full of paintings and creatives. Loved it. Will return!

If I ever find myself in Plymouth again, I would definitely be staying here again!

The staff are all so lovely and knowledgeable about the location, friendly and helpful in any way they can be.

I was able to check in a bit later as my train was delayed and Karen stayed awake to let me in and check me in.
Brian gave me wonderful suggestions on what to do for the day and it ended up being the best day ever!
Ran into Neal getting off the Ferry & he gave myself and another hostel friend a tour around the area and showing us places to go and a really good view of the tower.

The hostel itself is clean, welcoming and feels like you’re staying at your grandparents place. Little knickknacks everywhere means you’re never bored of looking at things, beds are comfy, rooms are clean.

Toilet was difficult to flush and bathroom is a bit small but if you’re not fussy and happy for the price and location, there is no complaints.

Hello I. M. M.

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.

Stayed here last night and was asked to place a £50 deposit due to any room damage, thinking nothing of it as places like this aren’t usually scummy, I paid the £50 and was also told I will have a call back tomorrow, next day no sign of contact from them so I rang up which in I was told that ‘your not getting your £50 deposit back as the room smelt of smoke’. Despite the very low ceilings and the smoke detector in the centre of the room basically making it impossible to smoke without setting the alarms off. Also was told the cameras in the building are watched all night meaning they would’ve seen me go outside the front for a smoke multiple times which I did. Terrible service, don’t recommend staying unless you want to get mugged off by this joke of a place.

A lovely hostel, with a warm atmosphere just a few minutes walking from the city center. A few beautiful hikes easily accessible by public transport. We took a double private room and it was very nice, clean and fully equipped (they also provided towels, hand soap and we could borrow an hairdier and adaptor). To common areas are cozy and make you feel like at home (the decoration is just lively!). Very good breakfast with cereals and toasted bread, all good quality products. The staff was extremely kind, helpful and smiley. Definetly a place to recomend. Thanks a lot guys, it has been a pleasure!
