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.

The location is excellent but the service at Reception was horrible and I the curtains from my bed/pod were initially missing.

2nd time I've stayed here, perfect location for access to the city and station. The staff are all beyond lovely and happy to help! I would suggest booking double bunks rather than triple if you want a bit more room to sit on your bed etc! Great place very affordable, friendly, clean and comfy!

cleaning is required, lightings needs to be adjust in both toilet and bathroom since they were switching off automatically even when the person was inside. That’s about it. Overall it was alright, safe and convenient.

Right near the train station quick in and out of Edinburgh
1-night trip

4/10

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.

It was the second time I booked in this hostel and I really like it. It’s near the city centre, Royal mile and the Edinburgh’s castle. The team is very cool, the breakfast is good and full of choices. I recommend it!

In our first stay in Edinburgh in a hostel, we found the experience at St. Christopher's Inn very enjoyable!! The views outside our room were incredible and appreciated the walkability and safety we felt throughout our stay. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

The place is in a good location and the staff are friendly. However, the room was clearly not cleaned for a very long time and the hot water in the shower never worked

I did choose this property for my Solo trip to Scotland especially because was central, literally 15 mins walking from every location I did plan to visit.
