This hostel is hard to beat thanks to its prime location (a block away from the Harbour) and its friendly, youthful atmosphere. The room was uniquely styled and I enjoyed my stay so much I didn't even mind the communal bathrooms. The staff were very helpful and even though past reviewers have complained about their taste in indie/avant garde music... More

we had a private ensuite room and it was very clean and a very nice room to stay. There is a main buildling and there u can meet all the other backpackers, which is really nice. The breakfast was not really big but if u are a person like me, not able to eat that much in the morning and... More

I stayed in one of the dorm rooms - it was very clean and comfortable, the staff were very helpfull, and with a basic breakfast included in the price (£15 per night) it was excellent value. I'd definitely go back.

We were checked in quickly and taken down the road to another building. The room... More

Found this hostel online and it was a mixed bag. Booked a twin room which at £48 was a bit on the pricey side given that room 13 is right next to the toilet/shower.(The rooms are located 100m down the road from the main hostel). Believe me, to hear someone being sick through thin walls, at 6am is not a... More

If you've previously had the displeasure of staying in one of the many other hostels across Scotland complete with unfriendly staff, and a commons area that gives off a similar vibe to that of a cold...
