Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The room is large with a double bed. It is very functional but not luxury. Some of the features the room gad was wifi, coffee making facilities and a safe. The location is great for central Dundee. The breakfast buffet was average however could not expect more as this hotel is within the budget range. Ideal hotel for short stay or for a business trip.

    Great Location, late check in (11pm) not an issue, after performing in a show nearby. Reception staff very friendly and welcoming. Very modern design, room sized just perfect, and firm but not hard bed. Check out by 11am and was booked on the 11.09 back south. Just perfect for ease and access. Loved the secure entrance after 10pm, felt very safe and comfortable.

    The perfect backpackers hostel. Very social and easy to meet new people. Guests of different ages, from young to old. Great staff and good cleaning. A lot of spaces to hang out: Kitchen, dining room, tv-room, reading room and a really big games room, with sofas, billiard table and instruments. The hostel is right in the center of Dundee town, so very close to shopping and restaurants.

    Great Central hostel, lovely and clean spacious room with actual single bunk beds & decent mattresses rather than small ones! Fantastic that the beds are already made up for you. Very impressed!
