Belford Hostel Reviews

The hostel itself, an old church offers a lot of opportunities.However they are not really used. The breakfast is also not the best one you can have. Additionally paying for two slices of bread... Moreover it is very badly heated, so its not that pleasant in winter

I really enjoyed the time the people are very kind and the plase is very unusual but beautiful

I stay at Belford Hostel every time I visit Edinburgh. My choice based on location in old church building allowing falling to sleep with gothic arcades above although neighbours often disturbed (everybody in one church nave). This year I found new made roofing of "rooms" which better isolates of noise and light but ventillation suffers a little and no churches arcs above head - that last is a pity! But I like atmosphere here very much, wide high kitchen-living room and friendly staff. Thanks!

Good hostel: confortable, clean, quiet and Nice staff: helpful and friendly! Good location and wonderful place!

kinda cool staying in an old church. showers were not very clean. the locker I had the key for could also be opened by other guests in the room as we had the same key?! reception didnt know about it when they were told about it, but they didnt do anything about it either.

good kitchen, pool table, darts, nice big warm tv room with plenty of games/dvds. not really a party hostel. come here if you want to relax

We were generally satisfied. Good location, nice staff. Thin walls so you might be disturbed by activities in the hallways and other rooms. Though to overcome with earplugs.

I met a dedicated staff ready to assist guests and I appreciated cleanliness at the hostel. My rating is justified by the cost for the rums.

We got a private room. Private rooms are located on the basement and as a consequence our room was cold and dump. The bed was also very uncomfortable. The staff, cleanliness and the rest was ok.

The bar and common room are fantastic with a decent kitchen and entertainment resources. The staff are ok, but not very enthusiastic. The dorm rooms are crowded and dirty.

I enjoyed my stay at Belford hostel. I felt my belongings were secure and the hostel was close to the city centre. I wish the staff had been more prompt about asking a group of people to quiet down during the night as this disrupted my sleep and those in my room.

unfortunately oiur room had nothing to clothes on or in. there was only one chair and the two single beds in the room, no other furniture

The moquette was very dusty!

perfect location , just 10 m walking distance to the mayor atractions.The Church have an amazing layout , the dorm is big enough to crash after a day sightseeing .Lookers with reasonable size to leave your lugagge. Downstairs room (kitchen and so on) are clean and confortable. WI FI signal excelent considering everyone is using it. The american receptionist recomend me to do a Free guide Tour (it works on tip basis, do it you wont regret it )

really good hostel, definitly a place to stay in edinburgh......

The environnement is charming , The hostel is not too far away from the city centre, so you can walk. I liked the fact of been in an old church. however is not really pratical to go down stair to wash your teeth or your face, for taking a shower or going to the toilets it's ok. It's not really clear that the breakfast isn't inclued, you have to pay 1.20 pounds for 2 toasts.

The water in the shower was awfully hot!!

We had a great stay! The hostel is located very close to the city centre and therefore was an excellent starting point to explore the city. Sleeping in an old church made the experience even more special.

The people were sweet, but the cleanliness were not good.

Very welcoming staff
