We were really looking forward to staying here --cool old church in a less busy part of town -- but didn't because the staff was SUPER rude when we first came in; snapped at us for opening the front door when they thought it was locked! more

Can't belive I actually gave these people money to stay here!!!! Only 2 toilets for about 200 people. Booked a private room and what they don't tell you is that it's not a room you get but a partition separating you from the other 50 beds so if you want no sleep (I've had 2 hours not by choice), dirty... more

Stayed in a private twin room, which had bunk beds. The beds were very unstable so when I got up on the top bunk I swayed from side to side and my friend thought the bed was going to collapse onto her. The room was very small indeed, but for £25 a night at the height of the fringe festival... more

Booked through hostelworld.. gorgeous building, friendly staff, only thing was i'm glad i wasn't on my own as it didn't feel that safe walking back at night. Also quite noisy as rooms are only partition walls, but you always get noisy hostels! You can buy breakfast there, or bring your own. Great as the staff both strip and make the... more

Booked on hostelworld.com, Good Hostel but very basic accomodation. Price was decent and you can come and go as you please. We stayed for 1 night only, rooms are separated by dividers only as it is a converted church, so you can hear everyone talking or snoring or changing. We had a good time. Bathrooms were clean and the people... more

This was a lovely hostel. The private rooms were great value- lovely furnishings, lots of space, comfy bed. The shower rooms were great too- big and great shower! Id imagine the dorms arent quite as nice with all the dividors and stuff. The place is quite near the centre of town and we found it a great comfy base during... more

The venue is fab (converted church, great use of an old building), but the way they have just built a wooden structure (using plyboard for walls it would seem) means that you may as well be sleeping next to the person in the next "room". And boy does noise travel. It only takes some inconsiderate people to enjoy their night... more

Was there for a stag do in edinburgh back in april for a weekend. The guys there didnt bother us at all, let us in late and let us sleep til 4 on the day of departure! If they still do this it is an exceptionally friendly, cheap, cheerful stop. Am going back in december again, oh and the city... more
