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.

Firstly it was quite difficult to find the hostel. There are no big labels showing the location. I had to go to the TIC to ask for the directions of the place, even then, it was still misleading.
