Great hostel, fantastic kitchen which was very well equipped. Two complaints: no security lockers in the rooms (personally, this is a must) and I had no hot water on my last morning.

There was no where to secure anything in the room and you are relying on fellow occupants to keep the door locked. Overall a great place to stay with plenty of hot water and a clean bathroom. Would stay again.

Was a perfect weekend there, we were also allowed to keep our room longer on Sunday since there were no new bookings which made the day much more relaxed for us! Thank you very much guys! :)

Lockers in rooms would have made me feel better about leaving things in the hostel, as although the doors to each room are supposed to be kept locked, you have to rely on 4-6 other people to keep the door shut. There was also a lot of mould in the showers, and although I respect the policy of not laundering linens every day to reduce wastewater and costs, they definitely need to be changed more often as the bed I slept in smelled a bit before I'd even stayed in the room a full night.

Overall a good place to sleep, with confortable beds and silent at night. It lacks storage space for the guest's belongings though, and the kitchen could be cleaner and tidier.

St Andrews Hostel was so lovely and welcoming. The staff interacted with us like they were part of the clientele. No bunks beds was another luxury! There is nowhere to lock up your belongings but the trust network seemed good enough for that to not really bother me.
