Lauren
Had a private room with bathroom and the bedroom was massive! Location is amazing as right in middle of town. Easy check in amd helpful staff. Didn't use any of the amenities but looked good
Michael
Nice hostel, in the center of downtown Dundee. 12 minute walk from the train station and bus station. MacDonald, Wendy's, KFC are 4 minutes walk. Very well stocked shared kitchen. Four fridges, microwave, stove and oven. Pots, pans, silverware, knives, everything you need for cooking. No elevator, narrow stairs, five floors. Carrying a heavy suitcase up the stairs is difficult. Thin walls, outside noise enters room. Need earplugs.
Michael
My single bed room with private bathroom was medium sized. It has a hot water kettle. But no TV. The smallest window opens to let in fresh air. There is a very good shared kitchen, with four fridges, pots, pans, silverware, knifes, microwave, stove and oven. There are five floors with dormitory beds and several private rooms some with shared bathroom and others have pravite bathroom. Check in was fairly easy. Just show ID. Clean towels are on each floor, self service. Front desk in lobby is open 8:00am to midnight. One thing this hostel/hotel needs is sound proofing. The walls are thin and I can hear everything outside my room. Bring earplugs.

Friendly staff
Deborah
Really close to bus stops and rail service. Located in the middle of a pedestrian area next to a shopping center and a venue, which means it can get a bit noisy at night (especially weekends). First time staying in a hostel, can't beat the price.
Valerie
Centrally located. Plaisent staff. Noisy at night.
Luz
No elevator so you need to carry your luggage up and down the stairs. Rooms with street view very noisy at night until 2-3am. Nos good if you need a good night sleep before catching an early flight. Room and shared bathroom were clean.
JENNIFER
Ok for a quick stopover
Place was okay as a stopover for a couple of nights but my room looked directly on the Main Street. It was incredibly noisy at night and first thing in the morning. The room itself was very clean and basic. Due to availability, I had to book a hostel rather than hotel, so sharing a toilet and showering wasn’t great, especially as bins weren’t emptied regularly. For £80 a night, the room should have at least had a kettle in it too.
Richard
Dundee derby trip from mid Wales
Great value for money accomodation. Location was amazing. Can be a bit noisy if you are looking out at the square. Very clean . Very comfortable twin beds and lovely shower. Looking around the hostel, it seemed what a hostel should be with different nationalities mingling in the kitchen and TV room. Easy checking in. Loved the place. Would recommend to anyone
John
The developers of this most important, but previously derelict, heritage building are to be congratulated and supported. It is a treasure.
Patrick
Make sure to pay for parking and use parking lots. Tickets can be a good learning opportunity
Elijah
Loved the building (a bit like a maze!), kitchen is nice, friendly staff
Janet
We enjoyed our stay! Very central, easy walking everywhere 😊. Helpful and friendly staff.
Colleen
Very convenient, friendly and accommodating staff. Common areas and rooms clean. Bathrooms built in a way that might be hard to keep floors clean, recommend pool/shower shoes.
Friday night brought an element of rough sleepers hanging by the entrance hoping to be buzzed in — not a big deal, but it’s necessary for the guests to maintain boundaries since staff is sometimes not present to help if a non-guest trying to work their way in.
