    We had a gorgeous, light and airy family room overlooking the sea. The room and all the communal areas were clean and lovely. It was easy to access and centrally located in anstruther by the harbour.

    Nothing!

    Beautiful location in a historical property with view to the sea and Fife Costal Path within a short walking distance. Shared facilities (Kitchen and lounge) are spacious clean and well maintained. Shared Toilets and showers are modern, clean and also well maintained. The dormitory room is clean, well maintained with a comfortable mattress. Large supermarket ( Morrisons) is within a relatively short walking distance as well as award winning ice cream, fish and chips :)

    What a lovely clean accommodation. We were slightly concerned about booking into a hostel, but we were pleasantly surprised on arrival. The rooms were clean and well maintained, our view was spectacular and the living spaces were kitted with everything one would need. I would highly recommend it to anyone passing through the area.

    - The host was so pleasant. - the rooms were clean - the views were amazing - the shared spaces were tidy - perfectly situated - most of all, it was quiet.

    Super convenient initial access to the hostel using the pin number provided. Darius the hostel manager was on hand to welcome us and provided great service by getting us into our room early. The room was excellent with a fantastic view of the sea.

    clear access to building despite being delayed. Friendly and calm manager. Comfortable mattress Ear plugs provided Tea making facilities and great kitchen set up (shops closed at the end of a long, late walk, so grateful for them)

    Second bathroom facilities out of action. It didn't affect me but helpful if both were available.

    The location was perfect. We were also able to park our car around the corner and the hotel was very clean and easy to access even though there was no one there (at least we haven’t seen anyone)

    It’s a bit impersonal because there is no staff present (as far as I can tell). We received all instructions via Email / Message which is ok but also a bit unpredictable when travelling without mobile phone connection…

    Excellent location, great comms with the booking staff, spotlessly clean, lovely big kitchen.

    Wobbly/flimsy bunk beds which meant every time you climbed the ladder, turned over, the whole bed wobbled. Maybe it was just my bed on the top bunk.

    I really loved our stay here. It was really straight forward, zero fuss, immaculate, relaxing, chilled. Stunning views over the harbour. Comfortable bed. Spacious room. Super clean toilet & shower. Beautiful old building. The whole process was easy, instructions were clear from the hostel in my inbox. It was a last minute get away and everything about it suited us to a tee. I would absolutely stay again zero hesitation.

    Nothing.

    Property response:

    Thank you for this review Hollie. You made my day. Kind regards, Darius

    location & services are good easy check in through codes sent online 1 day before laundry for 10pounds & fast if there is not too much demand

    bed are checking if both levels are used: it disturb the night. it would be better with 6 max per room and not 8 personnes. we happened to have 2-3 snory people from 8 … it was a little too packed and warmy - sticky in the morning i can’t see how there is place for 8 if all are with trecking backpack.

    Very central hostel, with many places to eat nearby and the port just a 2-minute walk away. The room was impressive, with beautiful views of the sea and the beach. The building is an old library, and the common areas were very nice. The detail of the binoculars in the room, very curious.

    The mattress and the bed were very uncomfortable and old, and we didn't sleep very well. What a shame, because everything else was very good.

    The library is an exceptional building both inside and out with all of the beautiful features remaining. The view from the window is breathtaking. My chum had forgotten her book but found many in the common room - that room was also beautiful.

    Absolutely nothing
