The hostel atmosphere was great, but our room did smell a little when we first walked in. I don't know if that was the men sleeping there or the overall stench of the hostel. The mattresses were a little worn out. Other than those issues, the hostel was great! The bar downstairs was really a plus!

it was right around the corner from the train station where you get dropped off & picked up to get to the airport being above a bar meant some night left without being too loud if wanted to sleep comfortably in your room. However, their are only 20 individual lockers to lock your luggage up for safe keeping if you did not want to leave your stuff in your room. Therefore, you have to hope the people you are sharing with are trust worthy enough to leave your personal belongings in the roomit was right around the corner from the train station where you get dropped off & picked up to get to the airport being above a bar meant some night left without being too loud if wanted to sleep comfortably in your room.

Right in the city center. Everything is pretty much walking distance. I didn't interact with the staff very much because I didn't need to, but the interactions I had were good. You can rent a locker in the luggage storage, but the room is small and they might not have a locker for your size bag while you're waiting to check in.Right in the city center.

There was live music it seemed every night apart from quiz night down in the bar which drew in sizeable crowds of both locals and travellers who werent always staying at the same hostel. The staff were friendly, helpful and up for a chat. The room was warm, the beds comfortable enough, the shower hot and powerful. As for the location you could not fault it, minutes from Prince's Street and almost the same distance to the 'Royal Mile'. I thank you all for a comfortable and jolly stay!There was live music it seemed every night apart from quiz night down in the bar which drew in sizeable crowds of both locals and travellers who werent always staying at the same hostel.

This hostel was in a good location, but besides that it had little to offer. Staff were okay, cleanliness was awful. We stayed in a 10 person room (which on a good day would be best suited for maybe 6 or 8) and it wasnt cleaned the entire duration of our stay. Their was a couple of bars tho and partying was great, but at the same time you can get that at other hostels around town.This hostel was in a good location, but besides that it had little to offer.
