We paid £11 per head for a Friday night stay here. Basic but good value hostel, plenty of toilets, big lounge, and big kitchen. Located in centre of St Andrews. Friendly staff. Only slightly bad points were a creaking door to dorm, and creaky bunks. Not the best when you're sleeping. Maybe something for the hostel to address. Overall 4/5

This hostel is 1 minute away from everything - very central! Staff were very friendly and patient. Rooms are a bit shabby (at least the one we were in) but showers are clean. Good value for money.

To echo what another reviewer wrote - this is a hostel not a 5-star hotel. And I would highly recommend it. Mostly because the staff are just so helpful and friendly. We booked out an 8-bed dorm - spacious enough, clean enough, comfy enough, large common room, decent kitchen, decent showers. Yes the building isn't in its first flush of... More

It's cool and friendly. Obviously not perfect, but it's proportional to the price. The bathrooms are a bit old and not too tidy. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It has a kitchen. Would reccommend it if you find nothing cheaper.

Before having a look at the ratings at the bottom let me remind you of the fact that it is obviously not a 5-star hotel you are searching for but a hostel! You cannot expect a hostel to offer the service, the cleanliness and the sleep quality a hotel could offer. But this hostel definitely offers a lot for little... More

We found the st andrews tourist hostel to have filthy bed linen (hair, dust and flakes of who-knows-what) , which we were expected to feel comfortable about sleeping in by lying on top of it in a sleeping bag liner. the toilets and showers are shared sex, which call me a prude but i prefer to shower with my own...

We arrived around 9pm without reservations, and were given bunks and a friendly tour. The price was very reasonable, and the woman who checked us in was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and directions. The other guests were all friendly and laid back; one couple who came in late were quiet and used little tiny penlights! Well located and a... More
