We knew it was a hostel, but room was very tiny, bunk beds were very small too, you hit your head all the time, also sounded a lot when moving on the bed. On the other hand, the floor was cracking on every step you made. Positive feedback, it's a walkable distance from downtown and train station, keep in mind that is an uphill walk. Also, very close to historical places like Edimburgh Castle.

It was ok. Friendly well mannered staff. Good kitchen and dining area. shared a room with four men. There were only two lockers and the floor was unbearably creaky. I mean every step creaked really loudly. Totally spoiled the experience for me Room 211 sort it out! And a few hooks attached to the wall or even the bed would be so usefull.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Amazing! I only property conditions a 4/5 star because the lock on the door to the bathroom adjoining our room got stuck, its a bit loose. So i got trapped in there until someone on the otherside held the handle up so the lock aligned. There wasnt anybody at the desk to tell and im sure they would have fixed it. The girl i roomed with said she would tell them later. But staff were great, facilities were good, and the location is within walking distance of food, more car parks, the jail is nextdoor, ans the castle is a 4 min walk. Id go back again.

Scotland Road Trip

I stayed in a individual room and not a dorm. This is like a college style dorm but the individual room was great. Quiet location, The location was great and you could walk to everything. Amazing parking directing out front (only 5 spaces) and amazing historic setting. Front desk staff wonderful good WiFi. Good hot water. Wonderful common area with nice kitchen area. Tiny little sink and weird pressure. Again what a great location. I would return again .
