Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    What an excellent place to stay. Unless you hate hostels of course. Lots of great spaces. Dormitory beds have power and a light each plus a place to put things. Lockable cupboards under the beds. The thoughtful details go on and on. And great staff and a smashing location. I would definitely stay there again. In fact I did.

    I loved everything. It she best hostel I've ever stayed in, people working there are the kindest and the most helpful, the hostel itself is very well mantained, beautiful from the inside and has a very nice common area. I worked there and it was excellet – the internet connection was stable and there are electric outlets everywhere.

    Well-organised and spacious kitchen, clean toilets, large lockers and enough/proper space to dry your clothes outside. My room was surprisingly quiet and clean for a shared room. I particularly liked the curtains covering each bed, which gives an you much more privacy. It's certainly one of the best hostels I've ever stayed.

    Great location, the sea is just 30 seconds walk away, many pubs, restaurants and takeaways within a minutes walk. The apartment is fully stocked with everything you need, we cooked a full Christmas dinner! It's roomy, we have family in St ives so most nights had 8 people there comfortably. Yes the second bedroom has bunk beds but that was our compromise for the location and it being all on one floor (3 out of the 4 of us have disabilty/mobility issues).. so it was me on the top bunk lol. Will definitely book this place again!!!

    One of the best hostel that I have stayed at. The staffs are lovely and friendly, the facilities are clean especially the bathrooms and kitchen, the beds are comfy. Walking distance to the beach and town center, accessible to public transport if you want to visit other town nearby. Most important thing, they are eco friendly. Me and my friend enjoyed our stay in St Ives, thank you for making our trip memorable. 😊
