    Conveniently located with excellent Wi-Fi, Sandras Backpackers provided us with a comfortable stay. The staff was prompt and friendly, helping us with our check-in and providing secure storage for our bikes. The included breakfast was a nice touch, and we were able to dry our clothes in their drying room after a rainy day. Despite some noisy football fans outside our window, we had a pleasant and enjoyable stay. I would recommend this hostel.

    I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, giving me lots of useful information about nearby restaurants and shops. The location was perfect, being close to both the train station and the coast. The room was basic but clean, and the en suite bathroom was also very clean. Though the shower lacked power, the water was hot and there were plenty of bath towels provided. The communal kitchen was lovely, with all the necessary equipment and clean crockery and cutlery. The breakfast provided was delicious, and the person who prepared it was really nice.

    For the price I paid, this hotel exceeded my expectations. The only minor issues I encountered were with the small fridge in the kitchen, which had some ice forming in the freezer compartment and was stained inside.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. the value for money was excellent. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the basic amenities provided. Additionally, the location was superb - right in the heart of town. It was convenient to have a taxi rank directly below the hotel, although it did get a bit noisy late at night. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The rooms were well-appointed, with a double bed and en suite bathroom. It was a bonus to have a TV in the room as well. Lastly, the help-yourself breakfast included in the stay was a great convenience.

    All in all, my stay at this hotel was perfectly satisfactory.

    We recently had a romantic escape and were pleasantly surprised by the accommodation. The room was comfortable and came with all the necessary amenities for a budget hotel. We appreciated the complimentary tea and coffee supplies and the freedom to come and go as we pleased. The location of the hotel was great, close to shops and the beach yet quiet at night. the staff was helpful, advising us about parking and ensuring our stay was comfortable.

    That we weren't able to secure a twin room. Unfortunately, we waited too long to book and had to settle for a room with a bunk bed, which made us feel a bit claustrophobic.

    The room was impeccably clean and the bed was so comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The communal area was spacious and well-organized, with plenty of room to prepare meals and enjoy them. I was pleasantly surprised to find a wide range of informative pamphlets available, providing me with valuable information about the local attractions and activities. The location of this hotel is simply unbeatable, as it is conveniently situated within walking distance of the train station and the beautiful coast. It made exploring the area a breeze!

    I would highly recommend this hotel to my friends and family. The location, service, and comfort provided are truly top-notch.

    The check-in process requires mobile data for calling, but assistance is prompt. The double room is spacious, comfortable, and tidy, with a private bathroom. Breakfast offers various options and caters to different dietary needs. Convenient location for the ferry and early train departures.

    We had a great weekend! The complementary breakfast was surprisingly tasty and filling. the location was perfect for exploring the surrounding area. The room was cozy and there was a friendly atmosphere throughout the hostel.

    There was no staff available when we arrived and we had to phone to gain access to the hostel. the room was not properly cleaned and there were a couple of broken items in it.

    Located in the centre of town, this hostel is perfect to spend some days exploring the area. The room facilities were adequate for the price. The kitchen was functional and stocked with basic equipment. It was just a 5 minute walk to the sea shore.

    The noise from other guests coming in and out of the common areas and walking upstairs during the night was disruptive.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! the value for money was exceptional. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering that breakfast was included. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. The rooms were comfortable, with double beds and en suite bathrooms. I also appreciated the attention to detail, with wooden chairs in the rooms and a help-yourself breakfast option. The location was perfect, right in the town center, making it convenient to explore the area. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to a taxi rank was a plus, as it made getting around easy, although there was some noise at night. I highly recommend this hotel for its excellent service, basic amenities, and great location.

    All was great, no improvements needed.

    The hotel staff was lovely and provided great information for nearby restaurants and shops. The location was convenient as it was near the train station and coast, especially for catching the ferry to go to Orkney. The communal areas were clean and the breakfast was nice.

    For us, it was ideal.
