not a bad hostel! its in a really good location so seeing dundee is super easy. it's surprisingly large with a lot of common space, though none of it was really being utilized when i was there (it was also confusing to get to some spaces, and the staff never really told me where things were lol). my biggest complaint is i was placed in a room with a number of older men who were moving to scotland, which made my stay uncomfortable. when i asked to be moved the staff gave me attitude/did not help.
