The Hostel Reviews

Had a great stay

that will be good if you can open the kitchn in the early in the morning. we go on a trip for site seeing and so we try to leave as early as possible. but the kitchn is opened at 8 n so it is gonna be a problen some time. thank you...

Hostel was located right opposite the train station and airport bus stop. Excellent value for money. It had a kitchen with all appliances you need to cook a full meal. Overall cleanliness was great. Some showers were a bit dodgy but it was touch and go. Only main downside was that there were no power sockets in bedrooms, so you had to go to the communal area to charge your phone or laptop. Other than that I would fully recommend this Hostel.

One of the best hostels I've ever been to!

This is a really good hostel in Edinburgh. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we could only stay one night, but we would stay here again.

Very friendly and helpful staff, ideal location for early morning flights. Definitely going to stay there again

The lady in charge of the lounge was VERY nice and did not hesitate to help us everytime we needed !

This was a great very comfortable to place to stay. The staff were very helpful and always keen to lend a helping hand. Keep up the good work!

Staffs are nice, helpful, willing to share with us all the relevant information that we need to know. Just. It's weird that there's no power adapter in room. In case you need to charge your phone, you gotta go to their main hall.

This was my first stay at a hostel in a long time & i am so glad i chose The Hostel.My welcoming was amazing & i was then taken to my room, while showing me around the hostel & later i was also shown what to do & see around town.... It really felt like home straight away. I was in the 16 bed dorm & yes there are a few beds BUT all very clean & cosy. The Kitchen is awesome.I really don't have anything bad to say about The Hostel apart from I'll Be Back! Thanks for this amazing Scottish experience

Well worth a visit, staff very helpful nothing was a problem for them. Good location. I would deff stay their again.

I absolutely love this Hostel! I've stayed there twice now and it feels like a second home. The staff is very friendly and helpful and it's easy to meet new people. The Hostel's location is superb (near the airport bus and Haymarket station) and just 15 minutes away from the Royal Mile by foot. It provides all basic needs (showers/toilets are clean, kitchen is more than sufficient and there is wifi) Comparing price with value this is the best you are going to get in Edinburgh.

great hostel, really clean and tidy little place. knowledgeable and really friendly staff, easy to get too as train st right outside, and airport shuttle bus on door step.

No power sockets in the rooms, toilets/showers were a mess, location was ok, rooms were small and sterile and rules were too prominent, .

Very convenient and cheap if you arrive or leave by train or bus and don't want to be in the city centre. Would like breakfast a bit earlier on request.

Owners were very rude. I was appalled. Might recommend getting a degree in business because they have no idea how to run one. It's called the "service industry" for a reason. They wouldn't turn the heat on and it was freezing. The beds had secretion stains on them and were less comfortable than sleeping on the floor. The duvets were dirty. There appeared to be black mold in the showers. Only positive about the place was the only nice employee Dee at reception, who was extremely helpful and kind.

We arrived at the hostel where we had booked a 6 bed female dorm room and they tell us that the website had not been updated when we booked so we ahd to stay in an 8 bed mixed dorm. We didnt get any discount or anything, the host just said she was sorry and offered us free breakfast, which is only pound. We were sooo disappointed and for the rest of our trip we had to stay with a creepy old man.

We stayed two nights and we had a noisy group of 72 people going around, so maybe that affect our perception of the hostel, anyway, the girl from reception was incredibly nice and helpful... But there wasn't any socket in the rooms, so we had to go to the common areas to find one. And also it was kind of annoying that you had to pay extra for the breakfast, because we paid 20 pound each night... which isn't quite cheap. So, it was good but not the best.

Staff were very unfriendly but the hostel itself is in a grand location, not too expensive and has adequate facilities. If I was going back to Edinburgh again, I'd stay somewhere else

I spent at the Hostel just only one day. It.s quiete good and clean but "Average". No comparation with The Caledonian Backpackers who is really charming.
