St Christopher's Edinburgh Reviews

Good location, close to the shops and main attractions. Room was ok (female 10 beds), but shower could be better - water wasn't hot enough, just warm. Wifi doesn't work in the rooms, just in the chill out room and bar. Free breakfast was nice, at least for my needs. Bar downstairs is a plus, cheap meals and drinks, and you also get a discount if you're staying at the hostel. Just don't forget your ear plugs if you want a good night sleep, as it can be quite noisy because of the bar and street.

This is an amazing location! I don't think you could find a better place to stay with such a low price tag! I would definitely stay here again and I am telling all my friends about it!

This was a great hostel! excellent staff very very friendly and helpful, great value for money

Location is really good! I booked double room and it's at the top of the house, i can see night-view of Edinburgh, that's really good! Room is clean and facilities are very very good! It's really worth! But people in other room are noise and sounds loud, that made some impact on me. And no free luggage storage.

excellent place, extremely cheap and convenient, somewhat dirty (bathrooms and chill out room). However, I would deffinetly recommend it!

The place is meant to be great, the only thing I was pretty moved about was how the staff hungout with only eachother and felt you were imposing if you had a question about the city, something to do, or even asking for a new key card. I think it is a better idea if you have a reception area and not a bartender who has no clue. I probably will not be coming back here to stay, but perhaps to the bar to have a drink.

In average the hostel is great. The location is perfect. The only problem that I found it's on the showers. They were really bad, you have to press the button all the time to keep them on, and the water was not strong enough.

St Christopher's was nice hard to check in when so crambed into a bar. The shower was freezing. No hot water ridiculous morning and night. We had a long day an were exhausted but was impossible to get to sleep with the bar thumping away down stairs. It vibrated straight into our room. There wasn't anyone even in the bar so they had no reason to have music so loud. For that reason I wouldn't stay there again. Everything else was good if you don't want to sleep.

Busy Hostel on weekends...good if you just came for a weekend f party and if you don't need to rest. The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean enough. Too easy for people that are not in the hostel to come into the room...so even having cages in which you can put a lock, you worry a bit about your belongings. One Tuesday at 3am...one of the guys of the room came and he found a drunk guy sleeping in his bedroom...the last one was in the wrong room...this means the keys open all the doors.

Great place to stay, ideal location and really good deals for food and drinks in the bar. secure rooms and comfy beds.

Thank You!

Great place, excellent location.

Excellent hostel, definitely worth of money and good place for meeting new people!

Was a really great hostel, the room we stayed in was amazing, not what i'd exoect from a 14bed dorm!!! didnt even feel like it!! would love to come back sometime!!

Fantastic place to stay, we loved how friendly and relaxed the atmosphere was, and the value for money meals were awesome. We went on to stay at St Christopher's Paris right after staying in Edinburgh and we were wishing we were back in Edinburgh the whole time, such a contrast in friendlyness and helpfulness. Would definitely stay again and have reccommended it to our friends already.

I always stay here when visiting Edinburgh....unbelievable value for your money. Plus the £2 drinks are great value for your money as well.

I stayed in both a 6 bed dorm and the 14 bed dorm. The 6 bed was nice but the bathroom wasn't in the room and the bathrooms on our floor weren't always working well. The 14 bed dorm was actually very nice. Spacious room with 2 toilets and 2 showers that were nice (they had space to move around ;). The cages under the beds are great for storing your things securely just be sure to bring a lock you can use. The only draw back was that there weren't many power points in the room.

The music in the bar and dining area on the ground floor was very good, but I was annoyed by the televisions that were constantly playing in several places. I liked that there was a chill out room that I could go to when the rest of the hostel was loud and crowded. I liked that there were so many choices of things to put on my toast at breakfast, but I wished that there had been fruit. I found the bright pink color scheme of my room nice and cheerful looking. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Really great atmosphere. Staff were helpful and othe rhosteliers were very friendly and inviting! Loation wa sperfect - close to all amenities, clubs and transport. Budget wise: great value. Cheap drinka nd food. Would definitely recommened staying here again because I know I will be! :)

I stayed in the Sherlock Holmes room and I thought it had a great feel!
