When we arrived to the hostel we had been on a very early flight and were way too early for check in. The staff allowed us to check in but not into our room yet as im sure the people were still in there, they did however say we could store our luggage in the very secure store room and... More

I stayed here for Thursday-Saturday night. My room was immediately above the street, with a thin glass window which meant that I could hear literally every word spoken on the street just outside. This street was the main drinking street in Edinburgh, which means that from 10pm-3am, there are constantly people shouting/singing/laughing/fighting right outside your bedroom window. It is impossible... More

I arrived at a late hour and asked for a cheap bed. The guy at the reception asked me where I had been coming from. I had woken up that day about 6 am on a farm outside Edinburgh (where I had worked on the previous day) and had taken a bus to Edinburgh to work again 14 hours in... More

I loved this place. It's the first hostel I've ever been to so it's definitely given my high standards. I met a girl there who said she's been to many hostels in the past and this would have to be the second best. The whole downstairs bar area is great and I spent most of my time there, just like...

Our room was a double room which had a hand... More

In terms of hostels - I would stay this one is excellent. The hubby and I stayed in a private room which was great. Is it noisy? A little bit, but again, it is a hostel and was quieter than most hostels I have stayed at before! The location was awesome (right in the GrassMarket area of Edinburgh) with lots... More

I stayed here for one night. I just turned up and wanted a bed for the night. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm with a friend and two strangers. The price was good and the place is colourful and welcoming. The staff were helpful and willing to get us involved in the nights activities. I slept terribly. It was... More

This hostel was wonderful, the staff was very helpful and everything was clean. The location was the best part, a stone's throw from the Royal Mile. They offer pretty cheap food, which is fine for breakfast. It was noisy one of the nights I stayed there, but I think that is to be expected in a hostel. They offer a... More
