Pros: The hostel may be far from the city but since I wasn't a big fan of the city, I appreciated being close to attractions such as the Botanical Garden and the University. The rooms even come with a shower and toilet and it was easy to connect with other travellers from all ages. There were enough power plugs in the room and the WIFI worked well. The kitchen is well equipped. The hostel was clean at all times.

Pros: Expensive, but very clean and great location.
Cons: No lift. Pretty boring kitchen.
6.3 Good
Pros: It was cheap, clean and in a very nice and quiet area.
Cons: The plugs were far away from the bed. The room was not supplied with enough towels or glasses. Someone smoked in their room, so we had to leave the hostel and assemble outside at 22.30 while the firemen arrived and combed through the place. Fortunately, there were 20 degrees outside as we were in a T-shirt and shorts...
8.8 Excellent
Pros: The location is really great to discover the West End and enjoy all its entertainments! And it is only a 15min walk to the city center! Plus, the hostel staff is really nice and helpful :)
Cons: The breakfasts offered by the hostel are quite expensive (£5.95 for a continental breakfast and £7.95 for a cooked breakfast) but the kitchen is quite spacious so you can easily cook your own meals. One big drawback is that beds are not equipped with an individual plug and reading light.

Cons: Bit of a hike to the top floor room. A lot of stairs when carrying bags, but it's a historic old house so it's understandable.

3.8 Mediocre
Pros: Only cheap. Other travellers were friendly. Not noisy.
Cons: I was accidentally late for check in but only 45minutes than mentioned. I contacted via What's App. The reception asked me to pay ￡10 for late check in. When I asked Terms &Conditions he started annoyed and told me to stay elsewhere!! It was rather shocking as I am a single female visitor with hidden disability! It was about 11:30pm at night, and I don't know what to do. So I said to him to be hospitable and paid it in cash and let me stay. He didn't give me a receipt. The room female 6 bed dorm was not cleaned well, carpet under bed, washbasin, kitchen and fridge were not clean. Other staff was also not very nice either. The place is out of town about 20 minutes by bus and 10 minutes into town centre. I will never stay there again and can't recommend. Oh, they don't offer cooked Scottish breakfast, go to Weatherspoons pub next door and you get full cooked Scottish breakfast with unlimited tea and coffee and meet locals!

Pros: There are no redeeming qualities about this hostel.
Cons: The staff is insane. I stayed for two nights and on my second night someone was in my bed and the room I was in previously they had moved my things out of the room without telling me so when I got back at night I had no room to stay and my things were taken by Alba. When I complained the owner told me “this is a hostel not a Hilton”.

Cons: No water pressur or hot water
3.0 Mediocre
Pros: It was close to the train station and therefore convenient.
Cons: The dorm I booked was supposed to be a female only dorm but a man was there when I woke up. Someone had taken my bed and the mattress of the bed I slept on was very poor quality and must have been very old as I could feel all the springs through whatever position I took. The worst night. The lockers under the beds are not convenient as people put their bags in front of them and you cannot access the lockers without moving people’s bags.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: Comfy bed and nice staff
Cons: The pillow was very, very flat.

Pros: I liked that the bed had a shelf next to it and individual plugs for my stuff. You could get an Uber most places really cheap. The girls at the reception were nice. Value for money so I guess for a bed and a shower it was fine.
Cons: There is definitely not enough parking for the amount of people there. There was no space to move around between the beds let alone anywhere else. I wasn't told where I could find things. There was only 1 toilet and 1 shower for my room of 14 people. And my card key stopped working all the time and my room was down lots and lots of stairs. Oh and I got charged a late check in fee as I turned up at 11pm but all over documents it said check in ended at midnight and reception said 'oh yeh you have to look at the small print'

Cons: I stayed in a shared room, and the room was utterly filthy. The smell was awful (like a mixture of stuffy and old urine), and I think no one has vacuumed the carpet under the beds in decades (I found an old beanie and a pile of filters under my bed). Honestly I'm not sure if they cleaned the room at all during my 6-nights-stay. Can't recommend, unfortunately.
