Great hostel, and great location. A tad noisy at night, but for a hostel on the main road through town, that's not very surprising. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome hostel. Great staff. Only complaint would be the ridiculously thin mattresses.

The hostel has a great location, the staff is very friendly and helpful if you have any doubt about what to do in the city. The rooms and toilets are ok, nothing fancy. For breakfast or eating, you'll have to sort it out in the kitchen as well as clean your dishes, so it's a real hostel! I had a good time there, I would certainly recommend it!

This is probably my favorite place I've ever stayed. The staff was so friendly, and incredibly helpful. Don't get too excited about the free coffee and hot chocolate, it's definitely not great, but it's nice to have access to something warm. It was downpouring the entire time I was in Scotland, and this place let me come and go as much as I wanted. Highly recommend.

the kitchen is too minimalist for the number of people staying, that of your sister hostel not suitable either for several groups cooking at once, despite the space. could do with more lounge space.
