great hostel for meeting people, friendly staff and good deals and connections with tour companies in edinburgh. rooms were average, had all the facilities and great bar area for socialising. single travellers will enjoy the social atmosphere. great location right next to old twon and easy walking distance to new town.

Room was clean, in a 10 bed dorm with 1 ensuite. Problem is there is 1 ensuite to every dorm/room. And there are no communal showers, only toilets. It wasnt that bad though, you didnt have to wait long to use bathroom and not really much clash. Beds were clean, comfortable and spacious. Had free breakfast every morning, just simple... More

What a great place! Very clean, nice staff, great atmosphere. I was in a mixed dorm and mostly had the place to myself. Nice spacious room with cool trolleys underneath the beds to put your belongings. The bed was really rather warm and comfy for a hostel bed. Free WiFi is great and the bars were fantastic and pretty cheap.... More

The staff were very helpful, friendly and a good laugh throughout our stay. The hostel itself had no heating in the dorm, a grumpy cleaner, and a broken shower. P.S. You'll love this place if you want a good location and a party atmosphere...if you want some kip and warm room to crash then maybe you won't... More

This hostel is within walking distance from the old and new town and from the train station! People there were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the bar and the breakfast. I think it's the best choice for budget accommodation in Edinburgh. More

Top marks for location to the train station without being in the train station. Close to the castle, the old city & the new city. Quiet. It is a hostel so it is less expensive than a hotel. I was travelling with a friend and we got a private room, two beds. Small beds, small tv, small washroom. We spent... More

THE REALLY GOOD POINT IS : The place is ideal to visit the city : 3 min walking from the airport bus stop and located just between Old Town and New Town. THE MEDIUM POINTS ARE (depending on what you're looking for) : You have to know if you go there that it is a youth hostel which mantra is... More
