The facilities are very good. It's like my own dormitory. I had a great time staying with my friends. The location is very good. It's convenient for travel. There are also coupons. You can store your luggage. I will recommend it to my friends and come again next time.

Yes, the atmosphere is very good, but there is no hair dryer. You can only borrow it from the front desk. The location is unbeatable!

Very close to the city, but it is difficult to find the entrance and the check-in process is slow. The location is good but the bathing space is a bit too small. Although wet and dry are separated, the room feels very cramped.

The location is close to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. Six-person room, very suitable for family travel. The room was clean and had a private bathroom. The price was ten pounds in the morning. The portion was ample and delicious.

There is a terrace bar next to the room. It is open until 1pm and you can open the window to the bar. LOL I didn't read the reviews properly so you can just give up on sleeping until then. I know it's busy because it's the festival season but I got a bed assignment and went there but someone else's luggage was there and I didn't know the owner so they told me to come to the counter. The problem wouldn't be solved until that person came.. The facilities themselves are not that great and you can rent a dryer by paying a deposit but there is no power cord. You can dry it in the room but you have to go right next to someone else's first floor bed to dry it. There is only one power cord? That means you can't charge your phone if you're unlucky. I charged it with a portable charger. It seems like the quiet time is from 10pm to 6pm but I'm not sure what the use is if there's a bar next to it that's open until 1pm. There is a shower room in the room but it's one for every 9 or 12 beds and it's quite inconvenient because it's next to the toilet. There's no locker for putting your luggage in but you can rent a separate locker that you take out and lock. It's under the bed on the first floor. And basically, there is only one person at the counter, so it naturally takes a long time to check in and it is not easy to resolve problems. Since it is a cold area, there is no air conditioning and I don't know about the heating facilities. Actually, I had no choice but to make a reservation even though the reviews were low because it was a festival, and most people stay like that - if not, you would have gone to the cod-court. It's a hundred times better - Even if you can't help it, go knowing these things!
