St Christopher's Edinburgh Reviews

Everything was nice and I enjoyed my time there very much, but the wifi does not work in the rooms and we had a voucher with a discount offer for the Foster's beer on their bar, but they had no Foster's Available there. If we can not arrive at the hostel before 14:00h, why does hostel word offer a option to choose what time we will arrive on it's website? We had booked to arrive at 9:00h there and well we could not do anything but wait a lose time there because of that. Not cool.

Absolutely recommend it. Great location and staff. Fantastic prices and food.

The hostel is very well located but it is dirty and lacking many facilities. Awfully noisy. If you get a room on the first floor the live music from the bar downstairs will not let you sleep.

No kitchen, only microwave!!

The Hostel position is very central. The staff was nice, i had problems 2 times with the magnetic key to open the door and they fixed the problem quickly. Breakfast was free and included various things like cereals,milk ,bread,nutella,coffee etc. the dish weren't very clean though. The room,6 beds in my case,was ok.no much room to move though. Trash bin cleaned every day. Toilets had problems with flush. No wifi from the hostel in the rooms. The "to chill out" room was claustrophobic and small.

No kitchen at this hostel - only a microwave. Luggage storage must be paid for.... and it's in an area you can't access post check out, so if you want to store for a few hours before departure, retrieving your bags is difficult. The music from the pub downstairs is extremely loud.

A great hostel. I only needed it for one night as Edinburgh was just a stopping off point for me, but the hostel served its purpose. Good restaurant downstairs, and the Nutella was an added bonus at breakfast. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean as well. The other travellers in my room were considerate and quiet coming back late. I'd stay again.

I loved that it was right near the train station and everything to see in Edinburgh. The wifi wasn't that good. I couldn't actually connect to the buildings wifi no matter where I went. I was able to connect to a neighboring buildings wifi from my room barely though.

The hostel is located in the middle of most attractions in Edinburgh. The breakfast is not rich and the wifi do not work well. The staff is really kind and the bedrooms are good.

Very conveniently located, but in need of renovation, very weak and unreliable wi-fi signal, and no common room to meet fellow backpackers.

The Hostel was great and in a great location. I had to book last minute and wanted a private room so I ended up paying quite a bit. The lounge area on the second floor is kinda dark and gloomy but if you want to hang out with more people you can do so at the restaurant downstairs. I forget the name but they also have another restaurant on the other side of the hostel with a great selection of whisky and the staff are friendly. Its clean, right across from the train and 3 minute walk from bus.

Loved it...would stay there again

This place was great.Great location , easy walking distance everywhere. Room was really big and lockers under the bed which was fantastic. Only down side no plugs at the bed and no wifi in the room. Also bar downstairs was pretty small but so much in the area, didn't much matter. Really enjoyed my stay

The staff here were amazing, very friendly and helpful! The bar downstairs was really good, great service, even in the morning with so many people for breakfast. Only complaints..showers are quite awful. The shared showers is like a jet stream shooting at you and the ensuites don't always run efficiently, but well worth the extra for the ensuite. Also the internet on the paid computers is insanely slow, not worth paying for, go to a different internet cafe, it'll take 1/4 of the time

Excellent location, 'just around the corner' from everything! Staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was good. The rooms are clean and we had an overall pleasant stay. Found the bar a bit noisy but didn't really impact on our sleep, and also found there was an odd smell in the entrance that lingered but wasn't a problem in the rest of the hostel. Overall good value for money and would recommend it!

It was perfect stay - great location, very nice staff, ...

Loved this hostel. It's just across the street from the station and perfect for weary travelers. Around the corner are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants. Our room was ensuite and kept very clean. The bar area is pretty full and lively all the time- a great spot to make some new friends. Breakfast was pretty normal for a hostel but the added bonus is the Nutella. Would definitely stay here again. Staff is very nice and helpful.

Awesome hostel with a good general bar and a smaller cosy bar which has Scottish craft beers which were some of the best beers we have tasted. They were unreal. Definitely stay here I going to Edinburgh

Service was a bit ordinary and staff were not overly informative or helpful. Showers were ordinary and toilets were a bit dirty. Very small rooms.

The overall experience in St Christopher's Edinburgh was poor, specially due to the lack of cleanliness. Despite of the excellent location, the money paid for the room is not worth. The room was warm enough but it needs painting and cleaning to be welcoming. Breakfast was also included, however it was very poor. The hostal management must be urgently improved in order to take advantage of being located besides Waverley Rail Station and Royal Mile.
