I liked the idea of the free stuff in the fridge, board games in the other room, because it’s not in the city centre, peace and quiet, there’s a pub across the road, fish and chip shop and a Scotmid a few mins walk, buses into town, couldn’t really ask for a better place 🙂

My stay was good. The place is old but considering the pice it was alright. The bathrooms were really clean even with all the guest coming and going. I usually don’t have a problem with stairs but these are spiral and small. For me it wa a bit of a challenge carrying up my luggage so that’s something to on.

There are two bathrooms on each floor, so I never had any issues with crowding. On the second floor, the shower and toilet are in separate areas, which was very convenient. The kitchen is well-equipped and there are two of them. There are two refrigerators in total and eight stove burners, so I never had any trouble cooking. Sometimes there is free food available if you're lucky. There is seating in the kitchen, as well as an indoor terrace and a garden, so the space feels very open and comfortable. The location is in a quiet area with traditional British houses. There is a convenience store about a 2-minute walk away, which is very convenient. There is also a large park next to the university nearby, which is perfect for relaxing. The staffs are friendly and helpful! I would definitely love to stay here again. 😌

Hayatımda kaldığım en iyi hosteldi. Daha önce çok çok hostelde kaldım ama hiç birinde bu kadar rahat etmedim. Odalar sıcacık ve geniş. 2 tane mutfak var böylelikle hiç kalabalık olmuyor. Mutfağın hemen içinde kış bahçesi var isterseniz yemeğinizi burada yiyebiliyorsunuz. Ben uzun süreli bir konaklama yaptım 5 gece ve şansımamı 4 gece tek kaldım. İlk gece kaldığım yatak biraz rahatsızdı söyleyince hemen değiştirdiler. Sanırım tek puanı buradan kıracağım çünkü yatakların değişmesi lazım. Ama onun dışında giriş kolaylığı dakinliği bahçesi tuvalet ve banyonun harikalığı her şey çok iyiydi. Odamda çalışmam için ayrıca bir masa bile vardı. Bu rahat konaklamam için teşekkürler

Excelente! A única crítica e em relação ao mecanismo da porta principal. As vezes o código de entrada simplesmente não funcionava e tínhamos que aguardar algum outro hóspede abrir a porta. Mas de resto, tudo ótimo!
