I love staying at Perth Youth Hostel. The single rooms are great if you you are seeking some privacy at night. The kitchen/common room is nice, but is sparse on skillets and cooking utensils. I did fine with what was available. Perth is a great City with easy access to trains and buses so you can visit nearby places and return that night. Love the 24-hour reception. Yes, stay here!Carolyn G

If you're going to be rewind Scotland or any other Festival then I would recommend Perth youth hostel. Where you will find really friendly helpful staff who have a great local knowledge and nothing is too much for them. The rooms themselves a spotless and practical. You have your own cooking facilities so if you have Fussy Eaters then there is no problem as you make your own. Youth hostel itself a short taxi or bus ride away from the station, and there was plenty of parking spacesYes

Short, 2-night stay in a clean, small, modern five-bedroom unit with kitchen/dining/sitting area, and balcony - most welcome in the summer heat! Very peaceful setting in wooded grounds. Bus service to the college not very good in the evenings, and a 25 minute walk up from the town centre. Otherwise, a great place to stay.Jane

Wonderful place, very nice rooms (beds, desks, ensuite bathroom) and kitchen (including cooking utensils and plates etc), very clean and comfortable, great atmosphere. Very helpful staff when checking in, not quite central to Perth itself but is a great location for exploring the local area by car. Very reasonable price too!Nat

An excellent hostel. Lovely en-suite rooms with a fully fitted kitchen for every four rooms. Ideal location, a five minute drive to the city centre and buses close by. A good price and well worth a visit.Larry

This is a great hostel with ensuite, single rooms. It is in a quiet location with easy access to public transportation and within walking distance of a grocery store. This is a good place for quiet time for recharging your personal batteries.Directionally Challenged

Nice tidy ensuite room with good shower. Shared kitchen is fine but needs some extra things. bottle opener, can opener, wine glasses. It s a bus into town no 1 or 2 to the "factory outlet " beware that Perth bus stops have timetables but no indication of the bus numbers...,! A small shopping area in Tulloch is 800 m away with a large Coop shop and a good chip shop.use maps.me to find it ( offline maps with location)Staff friendly and easy to get hold of.Petroc

I had a private room in a 4-room self catering flat in this student accommodation. Excellent cleanliness and facilities, lots of parking, shops nearby, fabulous views through the glass doors on the balcony across the city to the hills. Really good value - can't fault it. Many thanks.Heather

I think visitors can go to the Perth hostel by bus or they can even drive to there as it has a big car park. Alternatively, people can go there by bike, which is just 10-15 minutes from Perth city centre.Samuel Wong

Reasons to visit
In Central Scotland on the banks of the River Tay, and known for its natural beauty, Perth is the perfect base to explore everything that the surrounding area has to offer. Local attractions include Scone Palace, Perth Concert Hall, Horsecross Theatre and Perth Museum & Art Gallery. The surrounding countryside plays host to a wide array of wildlife, with ospreys and red squirrels often seen at Loch of the Lowes. Perthshire is renowned for adventure sports, shopping and whisky. The Famous Grouse Experience is in the nearby town of Crieff and is well worth a visit.
Guests staying at the hostel can also access the leisure facilities at nearby Perth College - including a climbing wall for the more adventurous.
