Not as friendly as other SYHA hostels I visited, as most residents were not travelers but local workers. The showers were barely warm (except one on the 2nd floor), even if the weather outside was freezing. There were no lockers in rooms. Kitchen and dining room were alright though, and there was a lovely stove in the TV lounge.

BETTER DIRECTIONS PLEASE ESPECIALLY FROM THE TRAIN STATION WHICH COULD BE SIGNPOSTED FOR HELPING TRAVELLERS WHO HAVE TO WALK IT TO THE STATION EARLY IN THE MORNING FOR CONNECTIONS ON TO LONDON, COVENTRY OR INVERNESS.

There's a great place for food on the road south from Aberdeen. It's a farm shop more or less in the middle of nowhere and just off the highway. I can't remember the name - sorry - and I'm back in Oz now.

Tip: only in Edinburgh I could really use internet facilities (with my own laptop). Everywhere else, the youth hostels didn't have internet or proposed to buy (1 £ for 20 minutes) a code to go on internet on their pc but what happened? NEVER NEVER NEVER I could reach my own gmail, neither could I use my MSN. So, every time I payed for a service that was never given, 1 pound each time... Another thing I remarked, is that only in Edinburgh, the staff could give me an adaptor. I'm from the continent and my own adaptor was not really a good one. Everywhere else the staff didn't care a damn. I spent a lot of time searching for and buying another one. What I hate, is that in a lot of SYHA's, there aren't even wall plugs in the rooms. Very nice when you need to load the battery of your camera and gsm...

Freindly helpful staff and a good location for both the airport and town with good bus and road links make this hostel a busy and cheerful place. More than makes up in freindliness what the hostel lacks in polish. The night manager is very knowledgeable about cinemas.
