    Everything a hostel should be. A great kitchen, dining area, super showers, spotlessly clean and in a great location. The adjoining cafe served up great food at a reasonable price in an amazing Gothic building.

    Have stayed at the hostel several times now, and always enjoy staying there. Very good facilities, friendly staff, and a great location. Only 5 minutes walk into the centre of Lerwick.

    Great location. Helpful staff. Clean well maintained hostel. You can only book a room rather than individual beds which could make it more expensive.

    Fabulous hostel in a beautiful old building. Stayed here several times now and always enjoy my stay. The hostel is spotlessly clean and comfortable with excellent facilities. Well fitted out kitchen with every pot and pan you could possibly need to cater for yourself. Lovely dining room. Nice little laundry room with washer and dryer. Love the addition of kettles and fridges in the bedrooms. Great location, and the staff are lovely too. Just booked again for next year.

    Fabulous hostel, great location in short walking distance to town centre and bus stop outside front door. The community centre next door has nice little cafe, there are some sporty activities opposite the building. Staff really friendly, facilities great, we were able to leave our luggage there before check in and after check out. Really good price for what you get.

    This has to be one of the best hostels we have ever stayed in. Great location, check-in from 12:00 (great when the ferry gets in at 07:30) and really helpful staff. There was a kettle and a fridge in our room and the kitchen was super well equipped. It was clean, loads of facilities and the staff were helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend and would definitely come back again.
