The location is really convenient, 3 minutes from the train station and 10 minutes from the castle. The only drawback is that you have to carry your luggage and climb the spiral staircase to the 4th or 5th floor. It's my first time staying in a youth hostel, and it's much better than I expected. I made my own breakfast and met friends in the B&B to play together. I love it here. The price-performance ratio is very high in Edinburgh

Except that there is no elevator, everything else is super five-star! For this price and location, it is the best value for money on Prince Street! Go downstairs and walk down the 20-meter (very close anyway) slope to Princes Street, diagonally across from Edinburgh Station. I really can’t fault it except that there is no elevator!

This is the best location for the price in Edinburgh. The stairs to the hostel are no joke and that was the only drawback for us. But it was worth it!

This hotel was great. Amazing vibe, clean, soft bed, quiet and modern. The receptionist was also really kind and friendly. I will definitely come again !

This was absolutely the WORST hostel I've ever stayed in. I liked the reviews saying that it was quiet, and that was very true. But a quiet atmosphere does NOT make up for the absolutely rancid smell of the place. It was SO unpleasant and unbearable. The staff members were also terribly unfriendly. I felt like an unwelcome guest in a place that didn't smell like it should be taking in any guests anyway. If I could go back, I would definitely stay in any other hostel in Edinburgh other than this one. My experience with this place was abominable.

I only spent 1 night there in a private room but it was very clean and the people I talked to were very friendly.
