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.
