BUG review
Jack’s has a central location and a bit of character, but that’s about it. It is really just part of a home with old fittings and barely any facilities. The dorms are dark and tired, with old beds and older duvets. There is a large sitting room with a nice log fire and lots of books, but it gets a bit musty. They do offer laundry facilities and cheap internet access. Security is not up to par and there is little to no atmosphere.
About BUG's hostel reviews
This hostel was visited by one of BUG's team of hostel inspectors who write independent reviews and assess a star rating based on an objective assessment criteria.
We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.
