Fodor's Review:

This is where the young, enthusiastic traveler comes to find fellow partyers. It's also the cleverest youth hostel in town. Set in a former police barracks, the decor makes the most of the bunk beds and dim lighting. The Internet café provides handy maps and leaflets. The Generator Bar has cheap drinks and a rowdy crowd, and the Fuel Stop cafeteria provides inexpensive meals. There are singles, twins, and dormitory rooms, each with a washbasin, locker, and free bed linens. Prices run from £20 to £35 per person. Pros: funky, youthful attitude; great location. Cons: bar is crowded and noisy; party atmosphere is not for everyone.
