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 accommodation was good. it was clean and the location was excellent. However, I was surprised by two extra charges: one for towel rental, and another £4 fee for a key to the storage locke.

Amazing price for a central hostel. Easy friendly check in. Staying in girls dorm bunks which had curtains. Unfortunately they didn't reach to the end so not as private as expected. No lockers in our room only cages under the bed and you had to pay for a padlock so didn't bother. Nothing got stolen. Everyone very friendly. Rooms basic but comfy and roomy. Showers and loos like indoor portaloos. Breakfast nextdoor was ok. Tasty and just enough. Thank you for a great stay.

It’s so convenient and clean to stay in this property in Edinburgh. I have know that St Christopher is a chain in Europe but this is the first time I tried their hostels and it’s so good. Lots of toilets/shower rooms and right next to Waverly bridge. They even offered free bagge storage to us
