really i hate this hostel becuase of the staff the room are really clean! was a good place to stay but just to stay like 2 nights and thats all

Great location, cheap, clean communcal facilities, shame about the 10am check out time.

This hostel probably will not satisfy the needs of those travellers who are used to luxury, but the location is worth it. We stayed in the double room with bathroom and it was ok. Not too modern or clean but I haven't seen rats or bugs so for the sake of the location right on the Royal Mile- it was... More

Great location, dreadful place. Reception staff sarcastic. 3 of us in a 4-bed room; we wondered if it would have been legal to put one person into that tiny space, let alone 4.

The area was pretty decent,central to pretty much everything.Now I have stayed in many a hostel in my time,but this was by far the worst and scummiest. Reception and the chill out area were... More

I am happy with my stay at the BH. The staff is very helpful and the rooms are perfect. The area is great with lots of nice cafes and shops nearby.

We booked a room for four night but mooved after the first night. Probably the worst hostel I've ever been. The staff was unfriendly, the room was filthy and the smell of the fried food was so strong (there is a fast food just downstair) that we could t even sleep. The heating wasn't working well and the bedclothes were... More
