We booked a double room but on arrival were given bunk beds. I think we should have been offered money back.

Perfect Stay in the Heart of Edinburgh!

From start to finish, our experience here was absolutely wonderful. We booked an ensuite double room, and it was spotless, comfortable, and great value for money. The location couldn’t have been better, everything in both the Old Town and New Town was within easy walking distance, which made exploring Edinburgh so convenient. The staff were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast buffet was well worth it, with plenty of options to start the day right. My wife and I truly enjoyed every moment of our stay, everything was perfect. We wouldn’t hesitate to book here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh!

Clean. Friendly. Right on the heart of Edinburgh. Highly recommend.
Philip, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good for a night stay. I had a private room with en-suite and it could use an upgrade especially the bathroom. It was still dirty with hairs from other guests on the bed and pillow and the floor wasn’t even swept. Fine for a night but on the pricier side
Kristine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super cool experience for a first time hostel stay with my family. Very nice! Wasn’t sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and welcoming this place was. We are staying again next week.
Jamie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great spot right in the centre of old town. Buses and trains super close by which is convenient. Rooms are reasonably clean, but the chill zone needs a bit of TLC as it has an interesting smell. Shared showers are really clean for what I expected, a little small but for a hostel it's expected. Would stay here again

10/10 Exceptional

I had a phenomenal time here, very amicable, helpful and great located! I definitely recommend this hostel if you're looking for a place to lay your head down, take a shower and keep going . Great breakfast for only 5 pounds ! You can ask them about any information of the area! Phenomenal!
Jayson, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I'd stay again, but I had the usual gripes

Lovely place, BEST CHEAP BREAKFAST I'VE EVER HAD, in the posh bar across the street. PRIME LOCATION. Kind staff. I wish hostels would check people in throughout the day instead of forcing a long queue at 3pm. With today's tech they could issue a key card that allowed no access until 3pm, and they could text you your room number then. The 4-person room was very tight, had no ventilation or AC, and had zero usable storage space because underbed lockers did not allow for larger items that otherwise could have been shoved under the bed. As there are lockers available in the nice hang-out room, underbed cages are silly. There was no paper toweling in the guest kitchen after midnight so I had to swipe a roll of TP from the common WC to dry my dishes.

Always a pleasure to come back to this place

Home maintenance please pay attention to one particular shower cabin (the one at the end)- terrible function,water was literally just DRIPPING from the shower head,drip..drip..drip,by then I was already undressed of course,and the other cabins were already occupied. Btw,I was staying at 4th.floor. Please check it out. Thx.room 403. But otherwise enjoyed my stayed.

Tight space in rooms

Rooms are too small, luggage handling in the rooms is a hustle.
Morris, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The area was in a great location. My room had a private bathroom but no hot water for the shower. The room was also cold with no way to turn up the heat. The hostel makes you pay for a towel and service can be a bit slow. On the plus side the room was nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. The views from the window were stunning.
Senora, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Booked a 12-bed dorm and paid extra cause the photos showed the bunks to be 2 levels. In reality, there are THREE. They are extremely precarious and uncomfortable. Website and photos needs to be updated. Location is excellent though. Across the street from train station and block away from airport bus.

便利出行住宿

位置好離火車站很近。有電梯，木地板雖然老舊，曾沒穿鞋走覺得很乾淨。床有簾子及床頭燈的。8人房有衛浴，原本很乾淨，沒有垃圾桶，被不清楚的人將衛生紙直接丟在地上，希望有備垃圾桶，一些不能丟近馬桶的有地方丟棄。
