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!
