Rooms and dorm beds are first come, first served. We cannot hold them without a confirmed booking and deposit.

The total depends on your dates, party size and room type. Enter those details on the booking page for a live quote before you book.
Do you have any cheaper accommodation options for my dates?
Shared 4-bed and 6-bed dorms are usually the most budget-friendly choice. Compare live prices for your dates on the booking page.

If you book within 10 weeks of arrival, full payment is due at booking. For earlier bookings, the remaining balance is due 10 weeks before check-in.
Booking changes and cancellations
Can I change the dates of my reservation?
Ask us before the 10-week balance deadline; changes are considered case by case. Within 10 weeks of arrival, or on a non-refundable rate, amendments are generally unavailable.
What is your policy on cancellations, especially regarding non-refundable bookings?
For standard bookings, cancellation 70 days or more before arrival incurs a 50% charge; from 69 to 35 days before arrival, 75%; and 34 days or less before arrival, 100%. Non-refundable rates are non-refundable from booking.
Can I get a partial refund for my booking?
For a standard booking, any refund depends on when you cancel: the cancellation charge is 50% if you cancel 70 days or more before arrival, 75% from 69 to 35 days, and 100% at 34 days or less. Unused nights after check-in are non-refundable.
If I am requesting a change or cancellation, what is the procedure?
For a direct booking, email us in writing with your booking reference. For a booking made through Hostelworld, Booking.com or another third party, make the request through that platform.

Check both timetables before you travel. Y91 runs throughout the year.
