The Light House is such a warm and inviting hostel. I felt at home as soon as I was welcomed in the hostel. I was given an in depth tour of the hostel and loaded up with information on numerous attractions to visit during my time here. The beds are amazingly comfortable, the free breakfast is great and the staff are incredibly accommodating! Stay here if you are looking for a peaceful break where you can recharge and rejuvenate yourself!

Thanks, Light House! We enjoyed so much our stay at this place... so comfortable, nice, warm, colourful, sweet-smelling and well equipped. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds, clean toilets and showers, great kitchen... really cost-effective!

Staying in the Light House is a breath of fresh air on the typical hostel scene. Fresh, friendly, fun, but equally calm and quiet, you will eat, sleep and chat well at the Light House. The staff are as kind and helpful as you could ever hope for and they provide you with everything you need for a lovely stay. Travellers of the world. Stay here!

In my short stay in Edinburgh, I wanted to make sure that I found a great value in accomodations. Light House was relaxed and welcoming. The moment I walked in the door, Gavin treated me to a tour of the place, a cup of tea, and insider advice on the who/what/where/when of Edinburgh. Lighthouse is a prime location for any traveler (or group) looking for a quiet and inviting atmosphere. I will be recommending Light House to all of my Scotland-bound friends!

Very good hostel with nice facilities. It's clean and quite. If you wanna feel like home and have a good night sleep, totally recommended. I can't imagine the atmosphere around the fire place in the garden in summer time! Gavin, Emma and Adriana are such a welcoming staff!

Nice common area where you can play games and watch movies. There is a well equipped kitchen, free breakfast and free towels. The hostel is quite clean and safe. The staff was so friendly, special thanks to Adriana for the warm hospitality.

Only stayed a night but wish I could have stayed longer. Everyone was so friendly, and so welcoming. The hostel itself was very clean, and well equipped. Short walk into the old town, but many theatres right nearby. Basic breakfast provided, but a really great kitchen is available to cook on your own. The whole place just warmed my heart. Highly recommended!

A great stay, nice environment. Only issue was with the queue for toilets/showers in the morning, and the hand towel size of the towels (though they were free). Thanks for the stay.

Gavin and the staff are wonderful, helpful and friendly. We loved both our stays with Lighthouse and would readily stay there again. Very clean. Even the other guests were friendly. We felt very welcome.

One of the best hostels ive stayed at. Very homely, friendly staff, excellent facilities, get your own personal locker which is quite large, excellent comfy beds, projection screen in lounge for movies was great, free wifi which is always good. Slippers at door on arrival gives it nice cosy feel. Bathrooms are very nice as well. All round great place to stay and iwould def stay again!!
