Black Sheep Backpackers

Great facilities for a backpackers and a chilled atmosphere. Location is great being out of the hustle of the town but only a 2 minute walk away. Sauna and hot tub are awesome bonuses which are free to use. Private room was great with a wee fridge and jug which made my stay convenient. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook. Enjoyed my stay here!

We stay at the double room on ground floor for a night. I like: 1. The whole place, including the room, is kept clean and tidy. 2. It has sauna and outdoor hot pool. 3. The bed is firm and the pillows are soft and comfortable. 4. Short distance to the town I dislike: 1. The bathroom is not connected with the rooms indoor, which means you have to walk in the freezing cold weather in the winter to get to the bathroom, even though it’s a short walk. 2. There are no shelves in the shower of ladies’ bathroom on ground floor. Where should I put my clothes, towel, and toiletries? 3. Thin walls and floor + non-soundproofing windows = Poor sound insulation. I could clearly hear people talking outside, throwing trash, people walking upstairs, and neighbors closing doors. To stay at this room, you have to be either really tired or easy to fall asleep.

Pleasant staff, the venue was tidy and had a nice feel. Our room was small but beds were comfy enough to have a decent sleep. Shared bathrooms were pretty tidy, although small stalls. It took some time to get shower temperature right, very very fine line between too hot and cold. Great location, handy to town but down side was trying to find a car park near venue. The keyless entry was handy didn't have to worry about a physical key. Phone app worked well but tended to just put in the passcode.

The location was great and very convenient. Unfortunately, both beds we stayed in had hairs throughout and some with makeup stains, which made it feel unclean. Additionally, we found some of the staff to be a bit abrupt and unfriendly, which impacted our overall experience.

The room and bathroom were very clean and tidy, which made the stay comfortable. It was a nice touch to have cups, coffee, and tea bags provided in the room, but it would be more convenient if there were teaspoons as well. The main downside was that the shower water temperature was hard to adjust—it kept fluctuating between hot and cold. Overall, still a pleasant stay.

Good location and has a small sauna but unfortunately these are the only positives. Very dirty, walls paper thin, bathrooms closed for cleaning at 8:30 am when everyone is up and wanting to get ready (common sense would be to clean during the middle of the day), strange shower system as most no doors only a curtain and tiny with no shower rack to put toiletries. Very tiny bathrooms considering the size of the hostel and in the mornings/evenings usually 5 or so other girls stood around brushing teeth in the tiniest space. Laundry room only open 5-11pm and even then all the staff take up the machines. We didn't brave the hostel hot tub 🤮

Nice clean hostel with tidy shared areas. Plenty of kitchen equipment and spaces to sit and chill! We stayed in a private room which was spacious and had heating, a fridge, a tv and a kettle. Super close to town and the staff are helpful!

Terrible. Just terrible. Missed the bus because they locked my stuff in the storage room and no one would open it for me after 8pm or something, no one you can call after reception hours, they don't care about you and charge 50 for a horrible bunk bed where you'll hit your head just by sitting up slightly. Worst value for money I've seen in my life and unhelpful personnel
