I say basic but there were some unexpected extras and there has been money spent on this place but maybe not so recently. The overall athmosphere is friendly and relaxed with a lounge space that supports that with sofas, tv/ books and games,. The staff i noticed went out of their way to show new people around individually at check in and explain the rules and facilities. There was a very small kitchen open late evening but not early morning. Enough to heat up a basic meal so could eat more cheaply out of supermarkets, although plenty of take aways locally too. Washing facilities also limited, at least 2 dorms, one of which slept 12 people, shared 3 showers 3 toilet cubicles( 2 with a sink in it) and 1 extra sink. No facilities for washing clothes but there is a laundry service offered when the hostel has the capacity. A hairdryer in common area. Dorm was full, 12 bunks, plugs for phone charging but not by the beds, and no storage in the dorm so stuff everywhere, unavoidably really for those travelling for longer periods. Beds had seen some service but not uncomfortable? Bedding clearly used but clean and not threadbare. Garden nice, and not just for smokers. Comfortable sturdy tables and chairs for all with smokers in one area only. Overall, cheap and basic but with extra features that made it a nice place to stay not just a cheap place to sleep

DO NOT BOOK this place. They canceled with no reason given, 2 weeks before our stay. This was our honeymoon trip; we booked months in advance. Then we get an email that says our booking was canceled due to an "issue with bedding", and to top it off, the stay was during a national holiday, so there were no other affordable options in the area. We stayed in Glasgow instead because of this. I cannot express how angry I am that they can do this to people. I wish nothing but bad luck to this joke of an establishment. Again, DO NOT BOOK HERE. I personally think their "internal issue with beds" was just raising the price and rebooking, which should be illegal.
