Hostel History
Enter through the huge ornate iron front gate and you find reception in
the oldest part of the hostel; the ‘Gardyne’ building which
dates back to 1560 and is the finest remaining example of late medieval
architecture in the city.
Reception is located in an ancient courtyard which is now covered by a spectacular glass roof. Other parts of the hostel date back to the 17th and 18th centuries and display the architectural style of their era.
All five buildings are of immense character and even have their own little on-site museum full of information and artifacts from the buildings’ history. In its time the site has housed among others, booksellers, jewellers, merchants, mariners, physicians and several past Provosts of the city.
In the late 1880s it was owned by John Keillor of international marmalade fame.
In this fabulous location, with such friendly staff and comfortable accommodation Dundee Backpackers Hostel is the best place to stay in town.
