The staff were so friendly and very helpful with the 1 million questions I had. The room comes with a fridge and hot water kettle to make coffee and tea which is so convenient. I really like this place. If I ever find myself back in Scotland will stay here."

"This “hotel” does exist, yes. Be prepared to hike your luggage. You don’t get greeted by anyone in a welcoming manner, rather you receive a message from one person to call another person to open the door for you and that’s it. We got a room with a private bathroom….the shared ones were cleaner. Did not feel clean, safe, or comfortable. The halls smell of stale cigarettes. Pay the extra money and stay somewhere nice."
