Hostel had three computers, but only two worked. All computers were at least five years old meaning it was a challenge just checking email. The heater could not be turned off in the room forcing the occupants to open the window letting in the cold Scottish air which neigh froze the people More

This hostel was the best I've stayed in UK so far! If you stay there you can enjoy: a free interesting city tour, a wonderful and helpful staff, a good location, free pub crawls every week nights, clean rooms and facilities (which includes a chill out room with a lot of pillows) and last More

Great for those wanting something quiet in the big city without all the crowds and crazy parties. This is one of the best backpackers I've ever stayed at! Very cozy and quiet on the other side of the park. Lovely atmosphere because it's a converted house, so it just feels like you're More

Great location. Friendly staff. Only problem is room was quiet cold. I don't think heating was even working. Anyways I managed to stay good for two nights. Free wi-fi in the common is an advantage. More

Good location, close to the shops and main attractions. Room was ok (female 10 beds), but shower could be better - water wasn't hot enough, just warm. Wifi doesn't work in the rooms, just in the chill out room and bar. Free breakfast was nice, at least for my needs. Bar downstairs is a More

This is an amazing location! I don't think you could find a better place to stay with such a low price tag! I would definitely stay here again and I am telling all my friends about it! More

I recomend this hostel. The guy at the reception was really nice and helpful, the room was nice and there was a big locker for free, the living area and kitchen were big, and the location is very good. the bad things are the bathroom, it's very small to take a shower, the breakfast is not More

Very conveniently located and fine for what you pay. Showers were really good and very clean and it was lovely and warm but the room itself wasn't the nicest, and the sheets had some fairly dubious stains. Quite loud at night, too with music from the floor below. More

Very clean, nice staff and a great location. The policy of not being able to get into your room until the entire stay has been paid in full for everyone on the booking was very annoying. Those of us who came in earlier on a flight were stuck with nowhere to go and found this very More

We find that the carpet and bedding is quite dirty. Maybe it is just our room (a 6 person room). And the heater is not really working. However as the room is pretty warm (not in the early morning) and our stay us quite short we do not make any complaint. More
