The Hostel Reviews

Smallest Hostel for 70 something people. The kitchen is smaller than me flat. 2 bathrooms in the rush hours crowed. Marion & her husband fantástic people.

Wasn't overly nice and the staff didn't seem friendly or really interested in the guests. Nothing to do and though the prices aren't bad there are other hostels in equally and better locations in edinburgh for the same price that are much better.

Good value for the price, and the hostel is situated very well. But there's just a lot missing: The rooms are tiny, so don't bring you big backpack. Simple things like electricity in the rooms are missing, the kitchen is equipped quite poorly. All in all: Well, you don't pay much, so don't expect much.

i really enjoyed my stay amongst a team of lovely and dedicated staff, very helpful and caring. however i would also add a negative feeling which is that there was a lot of noise from the other customers and all the bunk beds are quite noisy at the least movement. overall i liked it and will be back soon. a special thanks to Marianne, who was outstanding.

This plae had no character and was boring. There was no life despite been full up

The room smelled as if it had not been cleaned in a while.

Why the need for a passport or driving licence for identity? In the past, when ID has been required, my concessionary bus pass has been accepted. This carries my photo and a 16 digit number which can be used to verify authenticity. The staff at the hostel took a pedantic view of this ,and were very reluctant to accept my pass. This has shaken my confidence in the booling proceadure, so that I will in future have to check with any hostel I plan to visit, to be sure that my bus pass will be valid

Staff were very friendly, communal areas were cleaned every day, the hostel was not noisy so got a good nights sleep, was good value for money and I would stay there again.

I wanted to vomit the second I opened the door to my room. It smelled like meat and vomit. The 'private bathroom' described on the website was out in the hall... and we shared it with the entire floor. The bathrooms looked like something out of a Saw movie and there was mold in the showers (no hot water either). The sheets were not clean and there were blood spots on my friend's mattress. Reception was not helpful at all and was very rude. Not worth the money at all.

A very friendly staff always trying to solve any problem you have. The worst, a very noisy matresses

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...

Nice place, quiet and interesting

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.
