    Probably could do with a hanging wardrobe, we stayed 2 nights as extended our trip to this area last minute, there was only a coat stand and small drawers.

    Did not know what to expect as I haven't never stayed in a hostel before but it was a late deal and we could not get accommodation in the town. It surpassed every expectation! Lovely room with a comfy bed, very clean, showers and toilets. Kitchen area had fresh flowers in a vase which were beautiful. Host very accommodating and building very secure, he always appeared when we came in, so we felt he was vigilant and felt very safe. Tea and Coffee supplied in the kitchen and plenty of space to prepare food and relax if you need it. Location was so central and a bus stop right outside, we had a sea view which was a bonus. We usually would have en suite but the two toilets available were spotless as were the shower areas. Highly recommend this wee hostel in the old Library building!

    Nothing!!!

    What’s not to like. The accommodation was affordable, the whole place was clean, a beautiful historical building, a view of the sea to die for, great facilities e.g. shower was powerful, fantastic living room with unique artwork. Darius, the manager, joined us for a while in the living room and chatted. Very helpful and friendly guy! He welcomed us to the property and bid us goodbye when we left - so attentive and genuine. I would absolutely recommend and will return!

    Spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped dining kitchen. Position on main Street next to harbour and bus links. Friendliness of staff and overall atmosphere. Use of an old building .

    Only thing that would improve the accommodation is if the rooms were en suite rather than dedicated toilet / showers for each room

    Sea View Room with a large double bed and bunk beds with a separate dedicated toilet and shower room (not en suite). Room was clean and tidy and the staff were excellent

    If you are hard of hearing or can sleep through noise from the street, this is a BEAUTIFUL Hostel.
    • Leisure trip

    Sadly the bus stop is immediately outside and runs from about 7am until half past midnight! Interestingly, the 7am bus massively turned it's engine noise down but the half past midnight doesnt and the buses seem to run every half an hour. Whilst the view from the window was gorgeous, being in the centre of everything brings late nighter's noise from the street.

    Spacious room, with a small sink and lovely view from the windows. Nice heavy blackout curtains. Convenient shower and toilet, lovely kitchen area and lounge with a PIANO!

    cannot think of anything really

    Everything that you need for a short stay, comfy beds, WC and toilet for the room just at the next door which worked just fine, from the window of the room you can watch the tide going up and down, tea and coffee available from a clean and modern kitchen with a big table, a small bakery is just next door, you should also try the famous fish and chips from Anstruther Fish Restaurant - just about 2-3 min. walk.

    The shower room lock wasn't very secure.

    Beautiful historic building – such a treat to stay in an old library at a very affordable price. Big spacious room with a gorgeous view of the harbour. Very clean washing facilities. Location was perfect, on the main street in Anstruther. The bus stop was right outside with direct fast buses to Edinburgh and St Andrews. It's also a 20 min walk to Cellardyke Tidal Pool which is a must see if you are in the area.
