  fairly mixed opinions about them but the alma seems to come out well overall.

  I agree Howard, not too bad at all.
  
  I understood it was £15 per person, but one said they paid over £50.
  
  Didn't see where the Cafe Express is - do you know ?

  I hadn't either, not seen any lights on, or activity inside.
  
  They must have got their licence and Manager problems sorted out. The only other hostel (apart from a bail-hostel) that I know of, is the old First and Last pub in East Cliff.

  I don't know Howard - I haven't been down East Cliff for quite a while.
