Rooms were good for the price and what we needed them for, though they were not as clean as we could have liked (mould in the bathroom also- the one in the 4 bedroom room). This even made mé a bit sick. Anyhow, where the hostel really needs improvement is the staff's attitude, which is quite rude and not service-minded... More

If your looking for cheap, friendly & central location, this is the place to stay, although the hostel is undergoing renovation by the new owners, they made my family feel really welcome, its a shame they didnt have this hostel before judging by previous reviews, also its not called Edinburgh nights its called Edinburgh City Hostel with wonderful new owners...

the accomodation was ok, it had everything we needed but what made our entire trip was the nightclub on the Monday night! i think the nightclub is called zonic mondays or something? :S but anyway, it was so much fun and the DJ Zonite guy was incredible, can't believe an Edinburgh nightclub has a DJ that can actually use the...

Location wise it's very good, close to pretty much everything. We got there relatively easy, but when we went to check in things started to feel wrong.

The good things about this hostel is just the location and the price. The rooms are dirty, the sheets and blankets are old and stained and on the first night i didnt had pillow, and the lockers dont have keys. The hostel staff are kinda rude and dont have too much patience giving info

Upon arrival I was actually fairly impressed with the room our group were given, I have stayed in hostels much, much worse. What quickly spoiled this though was the attitude of the hungover, arrogant, rude and downright sinister bloke on the desk. He couldn't have been more unwelcoming and unpleasant. Things got worse from there as we realised that this... More

After reading the other reviews on here I wasnt expecting much from this place but it was booked by a friend and I went with it. As soon as you walk through the door its awful dirty and clean laundry on the floor old staircase with ripped up carpet going up the stairs. Went to book in the guy on... More

Do not stay here. The rooms were dirty. The shower was dirty. We were in a big group and booked the whole of a 10 bed room and we still had other people managing to get in and go to sleep whilst we were away and on one occasion trying to steal a phone. The whole place felt unsafe and... More
