Visited this hostel for a weekend recently in January 2013. Pros: Central location, reasonably priced access to kitchen and dinning rooms Cons: Very basic room, unhelpful staff (could not produce an invoice for me had to wait 24 hours!!) Bathroom down corridor was smallish. Overall good for a short stay in a central position in Dundee. Tips: Costa Coffee and... More

An unplanned overnight stay in Dundee and the Tourist office's recommendation was this hostel. And it was just perfect. It sits in the hearth of the City Centre in an amazing old building (actually I think 2 interconnected buildings). It has an excellent selection of single/double/dorm/en suite/etc rooms, enough of common areas (reading, game and TV room, internet, kitchens/dining rooms).... More

I have stayed in a few hostels before but this one surpasses them all. Firstly, you could not get a more central location if you tried. It is right in the middle of the high street so everything is on your doorstep. The building is very old but has been restored beautifully, with lots of information on the walls about... More

The buildings in which this hostel is located have been painstakingly restored resulting in modern facilities but retaining all of the character of the original buildings. Dotted around the interior are information boards telling the story of the building's past and its restoration which add to the charm of the place. You could spend hours just exploring this place. Communal... More

The hostel is excellent located, very close to all places of interests, cafés, pubs and shops. This building is really exceptional with its long history - there are very impressive photos from before renovation. The staff was friendly and the fully equipped kitchen was very useful. Haven't used internet or TV but was available. We had the double room ensuite... More

This hostel was a bit harder to find than it's sister hostel in Edinburgh due to the fact that they don't have a sign hanging out of the front. It reminded me of a fun house as in that it consisted of three different buildings all interconnected to form the hostel. It's a good thing they have signs otherwise you... More
