It was amazing two and a half / 3 days there and getting to experience new places

The location where you can get the to and from other areas or to walk around to other places, looking out the window over the pier and beach, a back room where you can relax play games, read books or even look out of the sky scraper all round amazing.

Nothing bad about the place

Great locate with fantastic views of the harbour.

View from kitchen area overlooking the harbour was lovely. The property was very clean. Location of building is fantastic being right near some of the best fish and chips in the region.

On street parking can be difficult

Great price in a great location

Very comfortable bed, large kitchen, opportunity to meet lots of interesting people.

This was nothing to do with the hostel. It was just bad luck that I had a noisy person in my shared dormitory who got up several times in the night.

Delightful stay in the charming Murray Library Hostel. Anstruther seaside beauty!

A cosy, accommodating hostel, in an old building brimming w/personality! Excellently located. Woke up to the sound of waves slowly crashing up against the shore. The kitchen was well-equipped and spacious, the toilets and showers were clean and well-maintained. The bed was delightfully comfortable, and the hostel itself was inviting, charming, and wonderful. Darius was friendly, prompt, and professional. My stay in Anstruther was excellent thanks to the lovely Murray Library Hostel :-)

I did not like the brevity of my stay...I would have liked to stay longer! :-D

Prime Spot next to all amenities, safe and secure, great value for money!

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!

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.

Lovely lovely lovely (and spotless) place to stay in Anstruther. We will come back for sure!

We loved absolutely everything. The bedrooms, ( +1 for THE BEDS), the communal spaces, the showers!!!, the piano, the sea view, the calm, and of course Darius. Perfect location. We recommend 100%.

Great overnight stay before a wedding. Just what we were looking for.

A great view and comfortable bed and bedding. It was basic and comfortable. Everything we needed. A good strong shower. Friendly staff running the hostel.

Check out is 10.00am. I would prefer a later check out time.

Well located, in easy reach of restaurants. Nice and clean. Good staff with very clear communication.

Great location. Good views over the sea front but quiet . Nice comfortable bed. Simple and efficient.

Maybe it would be good to have a cup or glass in the bedroom.

apart from the cold this was a very unique and charming overnight stay.

The room had a fantastic view over the harbour and the sea. There is parking posible around the small lanes around the hotel and it has a good location in the middle of Anstruther. There is a common kitchen very suitable for those who cook themselves.

Unfortunately the room was freezing cold - it had 7 degrees outside and there was no heating on. To be fair, this happened to us quite a lot in Scotland. So if you travel apart from July/August take a bed bottle with you, there are always kettle to make hot water in the rooms.

Fantastic value, clean, tidy, welcoming, comfortable hostel.

The room overlooked the harbour and was really quiet and comfortable with an extra blanket (Scottish wool) and fresh flowers - really nice, unexpected touches. The hostel warden is super friendly and helpful too.

Leaving the next day - I wanted to stay longer!

Great 1 night stay

Great Location and fantastic view from our room. Very comfy bed and helpful host (Darius). We didn't use the kitchen but a great facility

You can hear the street noise outside, bus etc. Come prepared with ear plugs if that will bother you. The flip side of that is you can hear the sound of the sea from your bed!

Highly recommended!

Great location on the front, exceptionally clean and comfortable and the staff member Darius was great. Brilliant Indian restaurant a few doors down. We'll definitely be back.

Everything was great. There was a slight hiccup with our room no. being mixed up with another guest but Darius sorted this quickly. These things happen! Great communal kitchen but a kettle and tea/coffee in the room would make this hostelry perfect.

Lovely location, breathtaking view!

Check in was all virtual, Darius messaged us through the app. The room was neat and clean and the view was spectacular from the room. The location is right on the bay and really central. It took a few minutes to heat up, but the shower was excellently hot. We appreciated the the room was nice and warm when we arrived. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality
