when you arrive in this hostel you start thinking: 'Nice! So cool!'. In fact, its cool, the building is very nice, decorating very stylish, with a great lounge/bar/game room and lots of good-looking-young-people working. BUT, they do not give you bed sheets and you sleep in a very dirty bed. and by dirty I say that they do not know... More

This hostel is clean and big, almost like a maze. It can be hard to meet people as it is big and no organised activities, but I think if you stay longer than 1 or 2 days it is great, like a home. The kitchen is large with an oven, there is a bean bag cinema, large bar area for... More

This is a really fun hostel to stay at. They have a bar which is pretty big and you can meet some cool people. The room was really big, there were about 50 bunk beds, which was a little weird, but they give you a locker. The only downside is that you have to provide your own lock (they sell... More

This was hands-down one of the best hostels I ever stayed at. The place attracts all sorts of interesting characters, and their lively atmosphere helped make my visit to Edinburgh one to remember forever. They had a big kitchen and computers at the bar - a rare commodity in hostels these days. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Edinburgh -... More

Location was excellent, really easy to get to... More

Usually i'd prefer not to stay in a hostel but was travelling as part of a group and all the usual reasonably priced hotels were fully booked. I was a bit nervous that I would find this place dirty, but no so. The bed linen smelt clean and so did the towels (which you can hire for 50p). The shower... More

Stayed for a weekend, it was really easy to get to from the airport. Its only 3.50 on the airport bus. We met loads of people staying in the hostel and found out where to go out at night.. The staff were helpful. The rooms were a bit cold but it was a freezing wknd anyway! The hostel has a... More

The location is excellent. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms are clean and the showers are hot! The staff is friendly, and I loved the wall paintings. The staff laid out a very nice spread for breakfast! I definitely plan to stay again the next time I am in Edinburgh!!

I stayed at this place with my partner as we traveled to Edinburgh from London on a spur of the moment weekend trip. We arrived in the city after midnight and this place was the only place open accepting guests. Since we had no other place to stay we decided to give it a go. The atmosphere and location was... More
