This hostel is perfect!! You feel like you are staying at a friends house for the night. The rooms are good, the people are lovely, the bathrooms are clean. It is very quiet so you can get a great nights sleep but at the same time the FREE pub crawl that is organised daily is a great way to get out in a safe environment (as a female travelling alone) and meet people and see some great pubs and listen to live music. Nearly all the people who were staying at the hostel came out on the pub crawl and before long I felt like I was out with people I'd known for ages. The kitchen is great- tea and coffee is free all the time, breakfast is also free and very good. Internet is free as well. If you fancy staying in then there is a massive flat screen TV with loads of movies and a very comfy sofa. I could not recommend this hostel more!! STAY HERE!

It was a nice place, small with a casual atmosphere. only one thing I did not like: there is no recycling... thats the only thing...

The atmoshpere of the hostel was great. I felt comfortable just sitting around in the lounge and watching movies with the other hostel residents. Steve was great. He chose great pubs for the free pub crawl where there was traditional live Scottish music being performed. He was also helpful in giving information about the city, where you should go, places to eat, etc. I would stay here again.

Very cosy and friendly atmosphere, great amenities (free internet and free breakfast!), very good value and brilliant local knowledge from the owner, Steve! The pub crawls proved an excellent opportunity to get to know fellow travellers and see/hear some really great live local music in hard-to-find places. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and plan to return! Thanks Steve!
