A last minute booking as my flight was delayed and couldn’t make connecting train, everything was fine, bottom bunk a little short on headroom but fine for sleeping, everything clean but energy saving toilets often didn’t flush but thats just down to water power, Perfect location could’ve better placed with its own bar and 5 mins walk to train station and city centre

Room is tidy and cool. But there is no curtains for each bed just like the pictures showing. A little bit noisy, we can hear others talking outside the door easily. But the bar of the hostel is perfect. Karaoke was very interesting, fantastic atmosphere.

The room was very clean, Environment: Very good, but the service was a bit dull, 5 minutes from the train station, close to the city center on foot, high value for money. Recommended to friends. Edinburgh is great!

I just stayed in a bed room at this hostel for a few nights and it was a really pleasant experience! The bed was clean and very comfortable and I had a good rest. The common area was also spacious and there were many opportunities to communicate and meet many interesting backpackers. What impressed me most was the owner, he was very friendly and enthusiastic, always smiling and helpful. Whenever I had questions, he patiently answered them and recommended good places nearby. Overall, it is definitely worth recommending and I will choose this place next time I visit the city!
