Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed in! The staff were so kind and accommodating, very comfy beds with plug sockets right next to each, perfect location (walking distance from harbour and 10 minute drive from Dunbar beach) and everything was exceptionally clean. The basic provided breakfast was lovely, and there were great facilities for self-catering. The twin room was pretty spacious with a lovely sea view, and the retro decor throughout the hostel was very cool. Thank you so much & we will definitely be back!

    Great location, close to the station and beach/town centre. Everything was exceptionally clean, the bed was comfortable and the communal area was really nicely designed. The record player in the bedroom was a really nice touch. Tom was super friendly and stored my bags safely. Would definitely stay here again/recommend.

    This newly renovated gem of a place is a very special hostel. The rooms are large and clean and the bathroom across the hall was spotless. But the most special thing about it is the atmosphere. The owner and staff are really interested in their guests and will help in any way they can. For example, our large tandem didn't cause a problem, it was safely housed in no time. They have a good breakfast available. No cooked food, but everything else "breakfasty". We loved this place.
