Neil
Great location near transportation hubs, clean and spacious rooms with comfortable bedding and plenty of charging sockets, clear instructions for check-out, well-equipped kitchen and dining area.
Felt like home, no complaints whatsoever.

We had a fantastic romantic escape at this cozy hostel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed the powerful showers and the complimentary tea and coffee in the well-equipped kitchen. The location was perfect, situated in a quiet part of town but still within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and pubs. Being able to securely store our bikes and having repair tools available was an added bonus.
That our attic room didn't have a blind for the Velux window, which meant that it got quite bright in the morning. However, this was only a minor issue and didn't detract from our overall enjoyable experience.

We had a fantastic stay at Wayfarers Independent. The friendly receptionist provided us with all the information we needed about the hostel and the local area. The spacious and high-standard rooms were perfect for our group of 8 cyclists. We were impressed by the ample cycle storage and the wide range of cycling tools and accessories available. This place comes highly recommended for both cyclists and tourists.
Cannot find any fault. 👌

Excellent stay at C2C 7 - 28/09/18! The reviews were accurate; the rooms and beds were clean, and the showers were great. The bike storage was a plus, with tools for repairs. The continental breakfast for £4 hit the spot. The location was ideal, just a 5-minute walk from the High Street. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others. a fantastic experience!

The hostel is conveniently located near the railway station and main bus station, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen are all well-equipped and in spotless condition, providing a comfortable and pleasant stay. The hostel also offers clear instructions for check-out and has a friendly owner who goes above and beyond for guests, such as rescuing lost items and providing mobile holders and chargers at each bed.
It would have been more preferable for me as an older lady to have shared my dormitory with female guests only.

The room had good natural light and amenities such as USB charging points and individual reading lights. The location was convenient, close to the train and bus stations and the town center. The hostel also had a well-equipped kitchen and a pleasant garden. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely book here.
Nothing negative to say. 😊

I recently stayed at Wayfarers Independent for a few nights during my trip to Penrith. The location was perfect, with a short walk to the town center and a convenient bike shop nearby. The facilities were great, especially the bike store in the basement and the drying room. The continental breakfast provided was tasty, and the staff were extremely helpful. The modern kitchen, comfortable TV room, and ensuite shower and toilet were all standout features. The bedding was fresh and immaculate, and I loved the little extras like being able to charge my phone in bed. it was a clean, spacious, and enjoyable stay.
I highly recommend this hotel.

I loved the value for money at Wayfarers! The room was super cozy with comfortable beds and little extras like phone chargers in bed. The location was great for exploring, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
The breakfast menu could use a bit more variety.

The location of the hostel was perfect for our city break. It was situated in a quiet and peaceful residential area, but still within walking distance to shops and amenities. This made it convenient for us to explore the city and grab essentials whenever we needed to. the hostel had a modern and clean atmosphere, which was a pleasant surprise compared to other places I've stayed at in the past. The staff were friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our stay.
One aspect that could be improved upon was the lack of a blind for the Velux window in our attic room. This resulted in bright sunlight streaming in early in the morning, making it difficult for us to sleep in.
