Excellent hostel. One of the best I've stayed at! Had everything I needed! Lots of common rooms. The reading room was great too for some peace and quiet sometimes. The kitchen was well equipped. The dish cloth idea is genius. I've never seen it in a hostel before, but it's really good cleanliness.

The only tip I have is that they need a new set of dishes and cups. Some have chips and when hairline cracks appear they are not safe to put hot water in. Beds are too low to sit up in. This is a common problem in some hostels though and maybe because it's an old building with low ceilings. I think the common rooms make up for it. Plenty of spaces for sorting you things instead of sitting hunched in the bedroom.

Unique hostel in very old building on the High Street in the centre of Dundee, verry close to the famous and very large Desperate Dan statue. Friendly manager/owner. Good well stocked kitchen, good place to meet other traveller. Steep, stone step to get to each of the 5 floors, they give the building its character. Free good speed WiFi. Nice cafe next to the hostel. Would stay again. Toilets and bathrooms are shared, not in the room. At no toilet in the twin room I was in.

Hostel is not disabled friendly, no lift/elevator and verry old and steep steps to every floor. Not enough bathrooms on some floors. No breakfast available, paid or free. Reception staff not always around.

The stay was great. We stayed in a double room with en suite bathroom. The room was big enough, it had a double bed and one chair. The bed was a little too firm for my taste, but we managed. The shower was nice and had great water pressure. The kitchen was well equipped, we cooked our own meal twice. There were quite a lot of stairs, but that's to be expected in an old building. The staff was friendly, even when we wanted to extend our stay by one day.

The only negative point I can think of was the noise outside. Our room was at the front side of the building (room 8). Outside there were quite a lot of people, and somehow the shop Price Point thinks it is okay to blast music till 3am. Our friends who stayed in the MacLeod suite (4p) were at the back of the building and had no problems with the sound.

I really liked the beds which despite being bunk ones weren't that high which helped during my late night emergency calls. The facilities like the kitchen, dinning room, living room and bathrooms were nicely maintained and well equipped. There were like 100 movies to choose from in the living room! I enjoyed this experience and this place a lot.

The way of cleaning kitchen equipment was a bit odd for me and maybe a bit unsanitary (for me at least). But all in all it was also eco and I respect that. Although the location is very convenient, it's also pretty tough for sleeping because of the Cities night life.

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!

The location is fantastic, just a few minutes' walk from the train station. The interior is very spacious, with multiple floors and rooms. The staff is friendly. Luggage storage is free. I also highly recommend the walls showcasing the renovation process and the history of their old house. A truly successful example of historic building renovation.

Overall hygiene conditions are just so-so. The entrance is very small and narrow, and a little bit difficult to find.

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.
