Liked: Everything was good! Perfect location (a few min to city centre), friendly staff, comfortable hostel. I had a great time there!!!
Disliked: Nothing but in my opinion it could be better if the bathroom (shower) was separated - only female or male

Liked: It was fairly easy to get to from the airport, if a little difficult to find at night. It was right next to the train station to go to Stirling for the day. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
Disliked: It was very crowded. There weren't very many outlets in the building and none in the rooms (though they did explain that on their information board) so it was hard to charge electronics.

Liked: The girl at reception was fantastic - we were there at Easter, and she had time for everone who had any questions or issues. I congratulate her on her customer service, helpfullness, and interest in each traveller. If it wasn't for her I think our stay would have been quite different. Cheap breakfast was a bonus, hot showers, hairdryers! and free wifi is always awesome.
Disliked: We had a very strange smell in our room the whole weekend, the beds are ridiculously squeaky, and there is poor air circulation in the room. Luckily I had earplugs, else I would have had a sleepless weekend. The bathrooms were just wet all the time, all over the floor and benches; the drainage needs help! and they were certainly not completely clean the whole time we were there.

Liked: The hostel isn't too far from town
Disliked: Lockers where given but no way of geting 24hr access. After 11 till 8am it would be useful to get access as a lot of hostels I've stayed at have one beside the beds. Otherwise pretty much recommendable

Liked: Cost and location
Disliked: only one impracticality, no plug sockets in the room, let it down really, especially in this day and age. Leaving mobile phones lying around in a lounge or having to leave it behind reception just to charge is ridiculous.Not good with the smartphones of today that you might use for maps etc
