Despite it is quite far away from the town centre, the room is very clean and large and i enjoyed my stay there.

Argyle Backpackers was a pleasant surprise. As a visiting student the enviornment provided everything I needed and was as great pace to begin my Edinburgh, Scotland experience at. A lot of students and young travelers with exceptional proximity to the University and into the downtown area - A great lounge area in a glass conservatory to relax and meet new people from around the world and a very secure place. I would highly recommend this hostel.

This hostel is quite nice compared to a few others we\'ve had to stay in... Cute and pretty clean - what more can you ask for? It\'s definately more mellow... Not a huge party hostel which is what we were looking for...

One of the staffs was not helpful at all, she didn't know anything about the attractions in Edinburgh. Also she didn't really want to help us. When I asked her questions, she only said 'Yes' or 'No'.

It was 100 degrees in that room. The heater was on, and it was June. I couldn\'t sleep. Also, some random woman stole my pillow and yelled at the friend I was traveling with.

Great hostel, lovely dining/kitchen area, and tropical fish in the TV room. About 10 minutes from the city by bus, or 30 to walk. Probably will be appreciated more by mature travellers - if you're a youngster just looking to party, it might not be your sort of place.

The accommodation was better than we expected. The room was clean and the whole building is very nice and quiet. I would certainly recommend it and would stay here again.
