Great place. Felt like home away from home. Right in central Edinburgh, and right near Waverley (the main) train station

With only being in Edinburgh for a couple of days, we decided to follow the hostel owner's excellent top tips on where to eat and what to do and had a great time. Hostel being small was a real plus.

Very friendly little hostel. Steve the owner is extremely helpful, common area and kitchen is great. Dorms and bathrooms not flash but clean and adequate. Quiet group of people when I was there hence the average 'fun' rating.

Enjoyed my stay there. Felt welcome and comfortable. Staff was very helpful and kind. Offerd information on where to go and what to do. If ever going to Edinburgh agian will pick the same hostel again :) and will recommend to my friends as well. While being there, you don\'t feel like being in hostel, it\'s more like being in a cozy place which is full of ppl and have a perfect chill-out time.

Bed comfort wasn't great- sank into middle pretty badly, not that bothered usually but thought it was exceptionally lovely other than that!
