Great hostel that felt like a hotel (with calm bar open til midnight) and comfy dorms. An oasis of peace during the fringe, decent value for food and drinks, relative to Edinburgh, and on the airport tram stop. Downside: no lockers (well, no locks), quite expensive for a hostel, and cold showers, but would still stay there again.

The reception /cafe area is fine and easy for people to use. The rooms and associated areas are very tired and not really that clean. The bedding is clean but very worn . Certainly I did not want to spend time in my room but the rest of the hostel was fine
