I really loved the location of the hostel and it's facilities were really nice! The staff was super friendly and very helpful. The beds were really comfortable, and everything was very clean. All in all my friends and I had a very pleasant stay, and I would definetly recommend this hostel to other friends or would stay there again.

Kitchen not well equipped nor tidy. Very small, crowded. Few utensils, wash-up supplies and seems disorganized. Labels for dates of arrival and leaving needed for refrig. foods; little space provided for individual's foodstuffs.

Very helpful staff that were flexible with my lost luggage and my limited means the first few days. A lot of noise after hours, since my room faced High Street, but otherwise the hostel was safe and quiet. Broad range of facilities, but unfortunately, several items (a few toilets, showers, and the computers) were under renovation. Would definitely stay again, all things considered.

We spent only a night at the hostel, the staff was really nice and helpful and the hostel is right on the pedestrian zone of the city centre. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

The character and overall atmosphere of the hostel was great, really welcoming and enjoyable! One minor point: the door handle of the bathroom was broken. Overall, excellent value for money!

3 mates shared the family room. Great size room. Everything you needed for a short stay. If you do get this room just be warned, just take your time going up the steep twisted staircase! It adds to the charm but pretty tricky after a day/night down the perth road boozers.

Central location, good facilities, nice game room and a clean hostel overall. The staff was quite helpful besides the manager of the hostel. It is a pitty that such people who has no idea about running a hostel, becaming the manager.

Awesome staff, always cleaning and keeping the place immaculate. Great kitchen set up, good size dining room. Games room with ping pong table, a piano, a few guitars around. Staff were welcoming and happy to show us around and give us their favourite spots. Location was superb, literally right in the centre of town. Highly recommend.

Had a brief one week stay here in March 2013 while visiting family in Dundee, found this hostel to be perfect for my needs, conveniently located right in the city centre of Dundee, less than a minute's walk to the city square and Overgate Shopping Centre.. No lifts so a bit of a pain getting up stairs with suitcases (given the age of the building this is hardly surprising) but otherwise would highly recommend this hostel to Dundee visitors!
