Because the travel plan changed, we booked a hostel at short notice. You know, it's not easy to book such a cheap bed in Edinburgh. The place is not difficult to find, but the stairs are small and it's difficult to move luggage. The toilet and bathroom are small, but they can be used. Breakfast is provided, and you can cook for yourself. It's very close to the station, and there are many shops nearby, including McDonald's.
I left my headphones there, so I asked the customer service to contact the hotel, and finally they were successfully sent to the next city we went to. In short, thank you very much to Ctrip's customer service, and the response and service of the hostel are also very good!

The bathroom is too crowded, shared by men and women. I was busy in the morning and couldn't rush. I hope there would be more space. The breakfast is good and provided free of charge, including eggs, juice and milk.

Muy bien situado. Desayuno gratis. Los trabajadores encantadores todos.
Las habitaciones son pequeñas y el baño también, 4 duchas y tres baños para todo el mundo, pero de alguna manera funciona. No hice cola ni una sola vez para nada y tanto el baño como las duchas siempre estaban limpios.
Very well located. Free breakfast. The staff is just lovely. All of them.
Rooms are a bit small and so is the bathroom; 4 showers and three toilets for the whole hostel but somehow it works. Didn’t have to wait not a single time. And it was clean at al times.

Nicely styled but too small for the amount of people squeezed in. Small kitchen/lounge space, small bathroom. Bedrooms I felt had too many beds. I didn't feel comfortable eating, relaxing and didn't sleep well, so wouldn't stay here again

We stayed in the 4 person with private bathroom room. Everything went well! Breakfast of toast, eggs and cereal was adequate! Definitely would stay again! Wonderful how close to Waverly Station! Easy to walk up the hilly street to the Royal Mile. Beautiful setting!
