BUG review
Tamworth YHA is a fairly standard youth hostel with the usual kitchen, TV lounge and barbecue facilities. Accommodation is in six and eight-bed dormitories with made up beds. The sign at reception asking guests to “speak English in the kitchen and eating area” implies a feeling of xenophobia that may make some guests feel unwelcome, although I am sure that many will find this sort of narrow-minded nationalism – which borders on racism – downright offensive. It is in the centre of Tamworth, across the road from the train station.
