Rooms were unbearably hot (in Dec). There is no privacy curtain on the bunks so lights and noise keep you up more than usual. Two showers broken but no issues in bathroom. No place to hold clothes while you shower, recommend a coverup. Also, lots of mold and dust in bathroom on ceilings. Staff was friendly and it’s in a great location!

You get what you pay for. Only and exactly what you pay for. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. If you're looking for a bed and somewhere to leave your bags while you discover Edinburgh, go for it. But don't expect luxury. The dorms are tight, shared spaces tighter. The two showers and two toilets the whole hostel shares are where this place loses most points. The location is fantastic though; easy to get to from all the airport connections, max 20 minutes away from most sights on foot.

Staff was wickedly rude. Mid rain storm I called for aid to find the front door. Once inside I was informed I was at the wrong location. All well and good. I mentioned aloud it might be best for me to go back to the airport so I don’t risk missed flights or I could offer to pay for this location aswell. Staff told me that he “didn’t ask” with a wicked tone. Then he escalated into a chat about how I can wait and speak when spoken too. L Bathroom drains stunk, like bros attitude!!
