The quality was very good considering the cheap price. I stayed at a 6-female room. It's clean and quiet, and feels very safe for solo female travellers.

I sleep in 6 bed room, there is no private toilet, only 3 toilet shared by 10+people, I think it is quite dirty, the shower equipment also not work, with small water flow. Quite bad living experience.

The hostel was clean and the location was amazing.
The food options were also nice with 25% off on two bars/restaurants next door.
The only issue was the unavailability of free towels, which had to be rented. All other facilities were clean and nice.

Beds are clean and already prepared for you upon arrival. Requested for a lower bunk bed and was given one! The toilets are clean especially when the shower and the toilet are separated. The room I was in has two separate sinks outside in the room, which will definitely prevent people from waiting… overall it is good and I will visit again if I’m in Edinburgh. Just beside the train station

My first hostel stay so im not sure what are the standards for hostels. I chose to stay here due to its proximity in the center of Edinburgh and the hotels near the centre are really costly. However i realised that Edinburgh is tiny and i finished the city centre in half a day and you could just walk or take the bus into the centre anyway. In hindsight i would have gotten a hotel outside of the centre. Edinburgh is unlike most major cities and not worth paying a premium to be in the centre

St Christopher’s are my go to accommodation choice as they offer dorms under my travel budget and couldn’t go wrong with them in any standards.
