We have spent one night in this hostel last year, and I have to say that it was a really good choice! The price was low, but we got a room for two people (for the same amount as the mixed room), we had an own bathroom with toilet, the staff was really helpful and nice, the breakfast was good... More

We lived on the upper floor, the room was fine. Nice beds, shower in the room but no towels, no tv, no lockers, really great kitchen. There can be some problems with a key-card (it didn't work when another person checked in our room), but it's easy to restore them on reception. More

We landed in Edinburgh at 00h, and we were picking the car at 9AM. Why bother and pay a full priced hotel for 6h sleep? The hostel is... a hostel. I would not shower there, and the place is noisy, but for 7pounds per person, well, it is ok :) on the up side, location is great... More

I took a group of 16 up split between two dorms for the Edinburgh comedy festival. Most of the staff are European but made an effort to serve us quickly and assist us. Bunk beds were adequate and toilet/shower basic but fine. In all honesty this was fine for cheap digs - don't expect 5 star, but it's fine. More

We had a great stay here. For the price we paid, we weren't expecting much, however, the rooms were clean, the staff were brilliant and there was plenty of choice of cereals for breakfast alongside toast, jams, juices, tea & coffee etc... Will definitely be staying here again! Only complaint is that our TV didn't work but we watched the... More

the bedding was clean, and I did see an attempt at mopping the bathroom. But they ended up switching me into another room without informing me first. went from a female dorm to a mixed dorm. toilet seat was broken, locker was broken, and it smelled awful. The beds weren't too bad, and the sheets did appear clean to me. More

A group of us went for a one night stay and upon arrival the beds weren't ready for us and some of the beds we were allocated looked like they were still being slept in. The linen itself was filthy and made some of the group gag. Kitchen & bathrooms were filthy, light in bathroom didn't work, toilet seat broken.... More

Booked this at the very last minute, and was amazed at the price for such a central location. It effectively operates as a B&B. The welcome could not have been more charming. The room was tiny and rather basic and dated, but clean and comfortable. As it backed on to offices and office car parks, all appreciable noise was over... More

Needed to cancel 5 of our 12 places due to drop outs, gave over 48 hours notice but the bloke behind the reception part is one of the rudest, ignorant person i have ever met. He weren't going to cancel for us but thankfully some strangers turned up needing a room so we gladly offered ours. If i had a... More
