I had a wonderful stay at Bazpackers! The comfortable bunk bed ensured a good night's sleep, and the clean kitchen was a delight to use. The hostel's proximity to the train station made it easy to get around. But what really made my stay special was the wonderful host lady, who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. One suggestion I do have is to implement a code system for the dorms

I forgot my tag on my way to the toilet at night and had to sit outside the dorm for 30 minutes until another guest got up and let me in. It would be great to have a backup system in place for situations like this.

Everything. So much thought and effort has gone into making this place incredible which is clearly evident. Individual curtains for bunk beds allows for privacy and a darkened escape from the main light. Window views were lovely. Position to town and facilities exemplary. Stayed in Annex and kitchen was modern and homely. Toilets and showers also modern, clean and well planned. General, shared areas also fabulous. This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. Congratulations to the planners/designers and staff who have made this place possible and for the staff who go the extra mile.

Absolutely nothing to complain about! Stayed 3 nights.

The facilities were very adequate. The comforters were good. The kitchen was adequate for coffee, tea, and hearing up food. Less for full cooking. The beds were wrapped in an impervious lining which I was reassured by, as it impairs pests The beds were very comfortable. The shower had great water pressure and hot water and the towels were good. This is a fantastic hostel for families or friends. The Castle Bar is attached and has a solid Cullen Skink Very well situated.

Nothing. This is a solid, plain fare, hostel. It is not a high end hotel. Safe. Comfortable. Good value. All ages. Will be back.

It’s really good value for money, clean, nice shortbread biscuits left on bed, you get a towel which is helpful, and good late check-in options if you message and let them know. Very kind and helpful staff also. Also really liked the place to store your stuff near the bed and the curtains and night light for privacy and to avoid disturbing others. It also amazes me that this place is so much cheaper than so many other places in Scotland and yet so much better (including hotels!)

No parking.

The beds with half enclosed wooden bit and the curtain give a cosy privacy you rarely get in hostel dormitaries .Nice location lovely view of the river from the room ,next door to a nice pub that serves food.

The common area closes at 11pm so there is nowhere to sit and read or relax after that for me an owl who goes to bed at 1am or later . ,you just have to go to your room and the pub next door shuts at 10pm so either walk into town and sit in a noisy pub or go to your bed where. People may be sleeping

Very friendly receptionist, I book last minute at 7pm+ yet I still got a bed, I had a tough day because my Dundee bus was late by 1 hour causing me to miss the train to Inverness, chain effect causing me to miss the last bus from Inverness to Loch Ness. Thank God Bazpackers is my lifesaver. I met a number of backpackers (from US and New Zealand) who were so helpful sharing their traveling tips with me. Nice, clean and modern kitchen👍 Can store luggage bag in Bazpacker before or after check-in, very thoughtful of the operator. Many good restaurants nearby.

My bed faces the road which is supposed to be quiet, but many biker speeding in the night, for this low price I paid (SGD$63) I can accept it. The rough uphill road, very difficult to push my luggage bag upslope, best to take a cab here

Checking-in until 11pm, checking-out until 11am. Comfortable room. Great view of the river. Comfortable bed. Soft pillows. Adjustable heating. Nice kitchen. Very clean, well appointed bathroom with new tiles and modern fixtures. Nice modern solid wood furniture. Plenty of power sockets.

With a walk in shower, a bathmat or even a hand towel to be used as one would be good. The hand drier is extremely noisy and anyone using it at night or early in the morning would wake up people in the adjacent room. Heater in the bathroom off, so cold inside.

It was clean and homely and the back garden was well maintained and had a good view. The kitchen was excellent and good for making food and the location was perfect, just out of the centre but close enough. I also used the tattoo parlour that was next door (very good)

I don't like to call people but one member of staff did not acknowledge me in the entire 7 days I was there luckily for me it didn't spoil my stay.

Very cute and cozy shared space. Had a lovely gas fire, and the kitchen was nice and clean and had everything you needed. Staff were very lovely and welcoming , and let you hang out at the hostel before checking in and after check out. I stayed in the pod bedroom, and the bed was very comfortable, and the curtain gave you great privacy.

It was hard to find a place to sit when the shared space had a good amount of people there.

I like the location as it's less than 10 min walk from the station. The price of the rooms is reasonable as well. You've got a good view of the river from your window. It has got a compact but complete kitchen set. The bed is spacious enough and ensures your privacy. They also have this garden with a spectacular view. This is also where your store your bike if you have one

I don't like that the toilet is not individualized. It's difficult to enjoy the shower while someone is defecating 3 ft away. I, however, understand that this is to maximize the space.
