Great Lounge Area

“The common room at Dorset House was the best I've ever seen in a hostel! It was very spacious with a pool table, games, a TV with a wide selection of movies, and even books and DVDs to enjoy during downtime. It made meeting other guests so much easier and created a fun, communal atmosphere.” view full review
