Great location…but more like a youth hostel than a bnb… small room; poorly ventilated; bathroom was small and there was a constant drip. Absolutely no decor… almost looked and functioned like a prison cell. Very, very disappointing…very poor value for money.
Great location, the hostel felt safe and clean, was nice to only have ladies around and jeez that was like the only hostel I found with 2-level bunk beds (as opposed to 3-levels in most places!) I forgot my phone charger and the staff helped me, thanks a lot. Nice shower too.
Great hostel. The staff were super friendly. The optional breakfast was refreshingly cheap and it was a great location. Loved the cozy welcoming atmosphere.
Convenient This is a youth hostel still many people the same age as me here, old generation. Had washing machines and drying room. Ideal for backpackers and cyclists. Quiet and comfortable Full kitchen facilities
An impeccable service, friendly staff and fellow backpackers. Excellent value for money and in an extremely scenic location. Probably the best hostel I have every stayed in.
I really liked the vibe. It's a small hostel with a big kitchen which facilitates meeting new people. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe and confortable so a big up to the team!
Great location and super clean hostel. While it was by no means cheap as far as hostels go it was in a truly beautiful location and immaculately clean. We were two adults and a 17 yo and we slept very comfortably in a four bunk room. I was also surprised at how comfy the bunk beds were. We arrived late and were lucky enough to grab last call for dinner at the bar/restaurant just 1/4 mile south of the hostel. Again, location location location.
Great location, I stayed here multiple times during my trip in Scotland. Room had view of castle. Bathrooms and rooms were clean. Kitchen and seating areas available and clean. Good wifi and PowerPoints at every bed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Did let me check in 30 minutes early. Cheap to use laundry machines. Heating in rooms. Exceeded my expectations for a low price. One of the best hostels I've stayed in regarding cleanliness!
I’ve stayed in a few backpackers’ hostels around the world and this was by far the best. Great location, very clean, approachable staff and they really look after your safety, especially if you are female. They provide wonderful cooking facilities and affordable breakfast, as well as complimentary personal hygiene products. I couldn’t have asked for more.
