Our kitchen/lounge area is available for guests to use from 07:00 to 23:00 daily (Except when it needs to be closed for cleaning, repairs or private functions/staff meetings).

Management reserve the right to refuse entry to any guest they deem to be over over inebriated/intoxicated

The management reserves the right to request a £20 per person 'Good Behaviour Bond' from any guest at any time
(This is mostly requested of larger groups and/or over weekend and holiday periods).
This bond must be paid via card on arrival and will be refunded within 24 hours of the guests departure (as long as the bond terms and conditions are adhered to). Guests will be asked to sign a good behaviour bond (terms & conditions) form on arrival. We feel that this behavioural bond encourages good behaviour and makes everybody’s stay much more comfortable.

Alcohol consumption is only permitted by guests in private rooms (in their rooms); we do not allow the consumption of alcohol in the shared dorms and common areas (lounge, kitchen, dining area, passages, stairwells, landings and reception area).

Smoking is not permitted anywhere within the building.

Illegal drugs are not permitted on the property at any time.

The Backpackers has the right to refuse entry of any guests if we feel that our staff or other guest’s wellbeing may be affected.
We take the attitude that we must be comfortable to share our home with each guest otherwise we will refuse entry.

Children under 18yrs must be accompanied by an adult or written permission by a parent/guardian must be provided to us prior to arrival if not accompanied by an adult. We still hold the right to decline the booking if we are not comfortable with the situation.

The Management has the right to request any guest to vacate their room or other areas of the hotel forthwith, without previous notice and without assigning any reason whatsoever and the guest shall be bound to vacate when requested to do so. In case of the default, the Management has the right to remove the Guests luggage and belongings from the room occupied by him/her.
