I left too early for breakfast - I also didn't know the hostel provided breakfast. I liked the staff responsible for entering via the front door passcode which I couldn't work out, they were very helpful and patient on the linked phone for people to use who are tryiing to enter. The staff are present even though somewhat remotely.

Cleanliness, the accessories in the kitchen, choices to use available condiments and other items of food and even toiletries in the extra spare shower room. Liked having a mini fridge in the room with kettle, tv and hair dryer available. The desk and chair was handy too along with the mini lights on the bed with usb charging points. bed and pillow was comfy. Games and puzzles available for kids and books to read in the common area, we even logged on to our Disney account whilst eating dinner.

We love the facilities and everything are well organized. The location is not that fae from Kirkwall’s center. We can reach almost everywhere by walking distance. The bus stop is even nearby with supermarkets. I’d highly recommend for a group of friends, regardless of gender. I traveled with a group of female.
