8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jan 2026
The "Wee Breakfast" was great. The hostel was very quiet and comfortable. My room was warm. Everything very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful.
I arrived late at night off the Aberdeen ferry after reception had closed. Everything was fine except there was no towel. Bed was made up but towel had to be collected from reception. Reception didn't open till 8am next morning. I needed to be up before 8am. So I couldn't get a shower. Why not leave the towel in my room?
