My private room was large and comfortable, located at the front by the big clock. Everything was convenient and mostly clean, with great showers, kitchen, and many rooms for work and hanging out. The building had a great history with beautiful signs on the history and restoration.

My only complaint was the street noise outside all through the night - mostly homeless people or gangsters yelling every night - extremely loud through the windows. Earplugs plus nose cancelling headphones over them were essential to sleep, and I’m not easily disturbed by noise normally! The neighbourhood was a bit edgy.

This is probably the nicest hostel I’ve ever booked. My room was large and clean. My private room also had a sink and tea kettle. The kitchen was large, clean, and well-organized. The property also has numerous public spaces, like a reading room and game room. The property is right in the city center and less than 10 minutes walk from both the train and bus stations.

Only a couple of things stopped me from rating this hostel a 10/10 (for a hostel). My room didn’t have anywhere for clothes, like a closet or even hanging rack. The bedding was too small, and my feet stuck out of the blankets all night. I had a room facing the main square, which got very loud at night.

We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation. The value for money is truly excellent — we stayed in a room with a private bathroom, and everything was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location is perfect, close to everything we needed, and honestly, it didn’t lack anything compared to a typical rental room. The staff at the reception were always friendly and helpful, ready to assist us with anything we needed. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely come back!

Fabulous old building. We had a double room with an en suite. The Room was a pleasant surprise and was large and pleasantly decorated. It was clean and comfortable. Towels, kettle, tea and coffee included. Communal kitchen 1 flight down stairs with fridge and cooking facilities. Staff kept our luggage safe after checkout until we wanted to leave Dundee. Very central to town. The hotel prices in Dundee were very high for our stay and we nearly missed visiting it altogether so the backpackers was a great surprise for the price.

Windows don't shut fully as old and fail to keep outside noise out. Our room backed on to a pub but the noise was over by 11. Disturbed one morning at 5 am as Macdonald's restaurant had a delivery, but the hostel itself was quiet at night. Be aware that the old stone spiral staircase is hard to lug luggage up if you are at the top.

I had a single room this time. The first time was a dorm. Excellent clean rooms with comfy beds in both quarters , I'm 44, so if top bunk it's slightly harder to get in and out! Lovely public rooms , comfy reading room, tv lounge with 100's of DVD's. And a games room with pool table! Incredibly close to all attractions in Dundee, the hostel is across the road from Caird Hall. Only a short walk to V&A , Discovery ,DCA, Rep Theatre, Verdant works is about 20mins by foot.

Not a huge problem but shower was on the colder side to warm, however I only tried the one on my landing, others might have been better.

I booked a single room for one night and was pleasantly surprised by how spacious it was. The hostel facilities were way better than expected - a large, well-supplied kitchen and a couple of large, comfy lounges, making it a decent base for a longer stay. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

The mattress was verging on saggy. There's a lot of stairs and no lift, though they state this clearly in advance so it wasn't a surprise, just worth knowing when you arrive tired.

Option to book a single room instead of a shared dorm, access to the kitchen, friendly staff & guests, great central location

due to it being in the city centre it can get very noisy with nearby pub goers but free earplugs were provided. At times guests from other areas were using the bathroom that was supposed to be shared with the 3 rooms in my section which meant I had to go to communal areas at times.

The location, unique history, right next door to everything, successful conversion of a staggeringly old merchant's house. Ease of attendance booking and departure

The unique construction showed obvious need of external maintenance and cleaning. The external windows and skylight looked like they had not been cleaned in years. A dying bird was trapped on the roof of the skylight.

The hostel is located close to the city centre. Additionally, the hostel has many shared common areas, such as the kitchen, gaming/video room, reading room, and small lounges for gathering travelers.

From my hostel room overnight, I heard some loud noises from people since it was Saturday night. However, if it had been another day, there likely would have been fewer disruptions during the night.

Very central, on the high st in Dundee (watch out for the small entrance, we walked past it). Good value for money, as Dundee is expensive. Kettle and tea and coffee in room. No food, but Henry's Coffee Lounge opposite and the Gidi Grill opposite is highly recommended. Good for visiting the V & A, waterfront and Discovery.

Our room was up several flights of stairs, but we did ask for a double room with private room, so not surprising, and the view was nice from the window.
