The location is very convenient, close to the centre and main sightseeing points, a few minute walk from the lovely Dean Village . The staff were nice and helpful. The room is spaceous and beds comfy. Everything was very clean. They had hair dryers, which I really appreciate. Nice stay for a good price!

The wifi wasn't working. The room does match the photos in description. It looks a bit like a psychiatric ward (not a lucky choice with the design and white everywhere 😅). Gives you a very unusual experience. If you don't mind, it actually makes it a bit interesting. Apart from that, the stay was very lovely and comfortable.

The area was rather quiet despite Haymarket being nearby, and it was a charming place to walk around. The staff were very welcoming and helpful when I needed assistance, and the rooms were spatious enough considering how many beds there were. There were small lockers as well for your valuables, which came in very handy!

Climbing into the bunk was awkward and sometimes a bit painful. The ladders are painful to step on and there is so little space between the bed and the bunk above it that it's difficult to get in and out, I kept bumping my head every time. Toilet paper tended to run out several times a day, so going was like playing Russian Roulette. Only one of the two cubicles on my floor had a sanitary bin for lady products and it was overflowing and left unemptied for 3 days.

I enjoyed staying in this hostel. I loved the easy going nature of the personnel, especially Luke. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen accesible for all the guest which was very practical. Generally speaking it was cleanly. The location is very close to the centre of Edinbourgh.

I had to buy earplugs because of some guests snoring extremely loudly.

I really liked the staff and I got along with them well. I spent a few of my evenings just chatting with them and also got to play with a cute dog.

I wished there were events that the hostel coordinated to help guests meet each other. They do have plans for this in the future but not during my stay.

Very good hostel, has lounge area, kitchen and it is in a quiet area of town. Staff were very good and helpful.

I don't like the 3 bunk beds units as they are less comfortable and difficult to get in and out of.

the location is great,near the city center.nearby there is also a bus station if you don’t feel like walking.the staff is amazing,friendly and really helpful.

the female dorm was way too small for 10 people.there was no space and felt really stuffed and unhealthy.the room had its own toilet and bathroom,but sharing one toilet and one bathroom with 9 other women was really difficult to manage.the lockers in the room were tiny and the hostel doesn’t have any extra room provided for luggage storage.also,there isn’t a lift,so if you have heavy luggage like I did,you will have to climb 3 floors carrying them all the way up.
