We recently stayed at this place at the end of our campervan trip and it was exactly what we needed. The room was spacious, well-equipped, and felt homely. Our two-year-old loved playing with the jigsaws in the communal room. The owners have thought of everything to ensure the guests' comfort, including facilities for after check-out. The owners themselves were lovely people, a credit to the hospitality business and to this venue. We would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this place and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The room and en-suite bathroom were incredibly spacious, clean, and felt more like a luxurious hotel room than a typical hostel. The in-room fridge was a convenient addition, perfect for storing snacks and drinks. The location of this venue was also ideal, with supermarkets just a short five-minute walk away and the ferry pier to the islands only a 10 to 15-minute stroll. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service, always ready to help with any questions or issues. I will definitely be staying here again when I am back in town.
I highly recommend this place to all my friends.

We had an amazing stay at the hostel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking our own meals. Plus, the ease of parking made it convenient for us. The location was great, with easy access to the bus line that took us to various attractions in the area. We also appreciated the quiet and spacious dining area where we could work and relax throughout the day. The hostel provided free wifi and even had a spare laptop available for guests. we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this place to others.

the owner, Erik, was incredibly friendly and always available when I needed him. the room felt like a cozy home away from home, with amenities like a mini fridge, kettle, and complimentary tea and coffee. It was conveniently located, just a short 12, 15 minute walk to St Magnus Cathedral and only 5, 7 minutes to the local Co, op, where there was a bus stop nearby. the room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a private bathroom and an extra blanket for added comfort. it was a great experience. Cons: Nothing, it was a perfect stay! 😊.

The accommodation appears to be clean and staff friendly, with excellent location close to major supermarkets and the town center. En suite facilities provide comfort to the guests, and there is a kitchen where visitors have ample space to cook and dine. the hostel provides books, games, TV, DVDs and bicycles to rent functional for sightseeing, which is a plus.
The hostel can sometimes experience noise disturbances in shared space.

Great Facilities and Location This hostel provides superb facilities, including a clean and comfortable bedroom, a spacious lounge, and a well-organized kitchen. the location is also very convenient, with a nearby bus stop and supermarkets just a short walk away. the staff is helpful and friendly.
Entrance and Stairs the hostel's entry and stair carpet are cramped and tired, which could be offputting , especially after a long day of travel. this negative aspect is minor compared to the overall quality of the facilities and staff.

Great value for the price, especially for a hostel. The staff were always available and helpful, providing useful advice during my stay. The hostel was also very clean and well-maintained, with a big kitchen and supermarkets nearby for self-catering options. The free tea and coffee were a nice touch, making me feel right at home.
The location was a bit of a walk from the main attractions in town, about 20 minutes. The lack of ventilation in the rooms was noticeable, which could be a problem on windy days.

Nothing to be said.

The value for money at the hostel was great, with a comfortable room and all amenities provided. The location was convenient, with supermarkets nearby and a short walk to the city center. The staff were friendly and accommodating, even allowing us to use the facilities after check-out.
The breakfast offerings could be improved with more variety or options.

The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked some lovely meals there. The location was perfect, only a short walk to the local attractions and shops. The bed was comfortable and we had a view of the garden from our room.
The walls were thin and we could hear our neighbors clearly. Unfortunately, on our romantic escape, there was a rowdy group of guests staying and they were up late, shouting and making a lot of noise.
