Room for Cleaning

A very dated looking building much in need of re-decoration. Despite that a friendly welcome and facilities adequate. However the room had not been cleaned with any care or attention. A very bad image for overseas guests to Scotland and SYHA should be ashamed. I do not mean their hard working staff but the head office who allow such shabiness I doubt they ewould recommend the place.

The hostel was very convenient, even more convenient than it looked on the map. There were cafes and chemists within walkign distance and the train & bus stations were a 15 minute walk away. It was lovely to talk with other guests and the staff (shout out to Luna and all the staff for the directions, and friendliness). I booked a private room with ensuite, and am happy to say the shower was very powerful and the room clean and spacious. I would definitely come back.

Very well run. Very affordable. Only fault was that not all mattresses were equal in my dorm. First one I tried was painfully sprung, but since I was the first one in the room, I just switched beds and found one that was comfortable.

The staff was curt, the beds like cardboard over springs. The place is clean, though the women’s lab was out of toilet paper in two stalls an entire day. Rooms are quite crowded.
