I enjoyed my stay at Caledonian. In a good spot on the city, just near Princess Street. Met many nice people there. Very nice ambient. The bar is very charming as also. The kitchen was super clean and large with all the stuff needed. We could leave our bags in the hostel without paying for it, as well. The most negative aspect was the cleanliness of bedrooms and some bathrooms that was not perfect, but as well far from bad. Highly recommended!

Bar at the hostel to meet people before heading out is great. Even with 38 bed dorm it was still clean, comfortable and easy to get a good nights sleep if you want one.

Kichen was very useful and there was cheap shop near the Hostel. A hostel staff told us to be able to get supermarket how... that was nice to them. I really enjoyed staying there but domitory was so big. I mean there are lots of people staying together, so might be noisy sometime. it might be better to bring ear plug.
