Situated in the center of Stromness, this is an ideal location for exploring the town and meeting fellow travellers.

Alas when we arrived it was already late so we didn't get to sample the atmosphere as much as we would have liked but it was still nice sit with a cup of tea and listen to people talk and swap stories about where they had been that day.

One thing about youth hostels though is you can never really tell what kind of nights sleep your going to get as you often have to share dormitories with several other men. If theres a snorer in the room you just don't stick a chance. Thats what happened to me. I spent the evening gazing up in fury at the ceiling as the lug opposite made enough noise to wake the dead. Grrrrr! nothing is more irrititating in life than to be in that situation :-(

In saying that though, you run the risk of that happening in any hostel. The atmosphere was still first rate and I got a lovely little stamp to go in my book :-)
