Lonely Planet review

Apart from some student colleges let out over summer, this is the only hostel in St Andrews, and is located mighty conveniently in the heart of town and just a short walk from the bus station. It's often booked solid, so should be reserved well in advance.

It's set in the upstairs of a typically attractive St Andrews building, and preserves its high corniced ceilings and spacious feel. There's a cheery, peaceful colour scheme; in fact, the whole hostel is run along very easygoing lines, so expect it to be clean but not obsessively so. The dorms are good and bright, with metal bunks; groups and families can take advantage of the appealing if darkish attic room, with five single beds. Facilities here are good, with laundry, Internet access, a nice kitchen with plenty of space for food storage, and a large, sociable lounge with board games and decent chat.
