This hostel couldn’t be in a more perfect location for exploring Edinburgh’s Old Town. The staff were incredibly friendly and personable. The Court room is great if you’re looking for affordable sleeping space and don’t mind sharing space with other visitors.

Easy check in, clean and well kept accommodations. Friendly and inclusive staff. Nifty old building. Nice vibes throughout. Convenient location. I stayed in a private room so cannot speak for the dorms, however, our room was satisfactory, cool and comfy. I stayed only 1 quick night so wasn’t able to enjoy any activities besides sleeping, but they seem to have schedules of things going on in (or around?) the hostel. Would recommend if you want to stay close to the city centre and want to be around other travellers. You can choose between shared dorm rooms or private rooms.
