The Hostel

La cucina è molto sporca e il frigorifero ha un cattivo odore, l'acqua della doccia è fredda e il flusso dell'acqua è troppo lento. Tutto è un peccato mai più grazie

Il soggiorno è stato molto al di sotto della media Il personale era eccezionale e molto cordiale, la nostra porta non funzionava a un certo punto, le camere erano molto sporche per gli asciugamani due dei servizi igienici erano bloccati per l'intero fine settimana in cui eravamo lì e le docce avevano distributori di gel doccia senza gel doccia in nessuno di loro l'intero ostello ha bisogno di una buona pulizia. Ma ancora una volta il personale è stato molto gentile

really friendly relaxed environment and atmosphere also enjoyed the film nights and other entertainment, comfy beds to sleep excellent value for money brilliant staff would recommend and would definitely stay here again stayed here for 13 nights and no complaints at all, a really good place to stay

I say basic but there were some unexpected extras and there has been money spent on this place but maybe not so recently. The overall athmosphere is friendly and relaxed with a lounge space that supports that with sofas, tv/ books and games,. The staff i noticed went out of their way to show new people around individually at check in and explain the rules and facilities. There was a very small kitchen open late evening but not early morning. Enough to heat up a basic meal so could eat more cheaply out of supermarkets, although plenty of take aways locally too. Washing facilities also limited, at least 2 dorms, one of which slept 12 people, shared 3 showers 3 toilet cubicles( 2 with a sink in it) and 1 extra sink. No facilities for washing clothes but there is a laundry service offered when the hostel has the capacity. A hairdryer in common area. Dorm was full, 12 bunks, plugs for phone charging but not by the beds, and no storage in the dorm so stuff everywhere, unavoidably really for those travelling for longer periods. Beds had seen some service but not uncomfortable? Bedding clearly used but clean and not threadbare. Garden nice, and not just for smokers. Comfortable sturdy tables and chairs for all with smokers in one area only. Overall, cheap and basic but with extra features that made it a nice place to stay not just a cheap place to sleep

The is a hostel for grown ups. If you want a fake smile, a saccharine “hello” and someone to provide you with a self-affirming pat on the head, you should look elsewhere. The hostel is a hostel. You sleep in a dorm. The people are other travellers used to travelling. You need to follow some basic rules designed to make the stay comfortable for all. The accommodation is cheap and so you should expect it to be budget! I really liked the other people here and appreciated the “if you don’t like it: tough” rigour of the place. That said, one small criticism is I don’t think excluding new arrivals from the ‘reception’ area in the evenings is a bit unnecessary and does create a “them and us” atmosphere. I didn’t care because I went out but I can see how some people would.

I didn't love this place, much better options are available in Edinburgh for the same price. This place was not particularly clean and I did not enjoy the company of my roommates as a solo female traveller (no fault of the hostels) but the lack of privacy between the beds, the close proximity of the beds, NO STORAGE, limited power outlets and small communal spaces did not help me feel any more comfortable.The staff were very accommodating when I asked to switch rooms, which was very comforting. The power supply was low and took a long time to charge devices which wasn't ideal giving that the whole room was sharing two outlets. Wouldn't stay here again.

DO NOT BOOK this place. They canceled with no reason given, 2 weeks before our stay. This was our honeymoon trip; we booked months in advance. Then we get an email that says our booking was canceled due to an "issue with bedding", and to top it off, the stay was during a national holiday, so there were no other affordable options in the area. We stayed in Glasgow instead because of this. I cannot express how angry I am that they can do this to people. I wish nothing but bad luck to this joke of an establishment. Again, DO NOT BOOK HERE. I personally think their "internal issue with beds" was just raising the price and rebooking, which should be illegal.

Staff partying after hours with loud music, alcohol and friends coming over. All that even after 11pm so you would not have enough sleep. Are you sure you want to stay here? Good location and moderate prices.

Very dirty hostel. Booked for 14 nights and prepaid but could only stay for 1 because it was that dirty. Asked for a different room when checking in and was charged an additional £90 for an upgraded room, which was never given as not yet available. Upon checkout they refused to return the unused upgrade charge along with the 13 nights additional nights that were prepaid. The non refundable prepaid original booking I understand, and that was agreed to, but to refuse to refund for an upgrade that was never given seems unethical and possibly illegal. Steer clear.
