BUG review
Barnacles is a basic, fairly tired YHA-associate hostel set in a 1923 guest house, but it has a nice location right by the sea. There’s a small downstairs kitchen, with a randomly furnished and decorated dining area and TV lounge. On the ground level is a small sitting room with a single coin-operated internet PC. Rooms are standard but not uncomfortable and most beds are made up. There’s a pretty friendly vibe here and some awesome sunsets to be caught from the beach right across the road.
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.
