Nice hostel, upstairs from City Centre Hostel. It was very very clean, bedrooms and bathrooms, which I really appreciate in a hostel. The person at the reception was very friendly. The rooms were nice, colourful and the beds comfortable. I will come back.Nice hostel, upstairs from City Centre Hostel.

You need to go 80 steps up just to get to the reception of the hostel, and then some more to your room. The hostel has no keys at all (neither to enter it nor your rooms). Beds are very uncomfortable.You need to go 80 steps up just to get to the reception of the hostel, and then some more to your room. The hostel has no keys at all (neither to enter it nor your rooms).

We only stayed one night but found the staff to be very friendly and professional. Bathrooms were nice and clean as were the rooms. Location was excellent! Would stay there again.We only stayed one night but found the staff to be very friendly and professional. Bathrooms were nice and clean as were the rooms. Location was excellent!

Although it may get a little loud due to other visitors, this hostel has quite a lot of spunk. the decorations on the walls are very unique! The staff is extremely kind and helpful. the only thing that i did not care for was that they do not permit locks on the doors - however, they do provide lockers for your belongings. There are also LOTS of stairs to get to the hostel itself. Besides that, Beds are actually quite comfy and the showers are VERY clean!

This is an inexpensive hostel so it's hard to be too critical. It's cheap so it's good for a few nights. Good kitchen, communal area, showers, helpful staff. Too many negatives for me to ever return so you decide: Back breaking number of stairs to get to hostel. It's hard to step out for necessities. They have wi-fi but you pay £2 for 2 hours. No locks on front door or rooms but you get a locker with a strange mechanism so you give another £3.50 for lock. Food stolen often. Beds are painful.This is an inexpensive hostel so it's hard to be too critical. It's cheap so it's good for a few nights. Good kitchen, communal area, showers, helpful staff.

Great location. Especially if you're taking the bus into town. The staff are really friendly and eager to help/accommodate. Have to go up a few flights of stairs, but no big deal. Would definitely stay here again.Great location. Especially if you're taking the bus into town. The staff are really friendly and eager to help/accommodate.

This felt like a rather unorthodox hostel, I can imagine a lot of people not liking the hippy-feel of the place. But it is excellently located and the staff were incredible. No breakfast, but it's such good value considering the location. Walking distance from everything in Edinburgh, inc. train station.This felt like a rather unorthodox hostel, I can imagine a lot of people not liking the hippy-feel of the place.
