Since we had to find a cheap place to spend a night, this was good choice. 10 pounds for dorm place with good hostel location. Hostel has very well equipped kitchenette, excellent for self caterers. Tesco supermarket is approx . 10 min walking down the main street. You get what you pay for - be prepared for it anyway. more

This place is what you can expect of a hostel - basic. If all you need is a bed and perhaps somewhere to hang out for a bit in between whatever you're doing, this is a good place for you. The location is perfect, right off the Royal Mile and so close to everything you can visit. Join the pub... more

I needed a hostel at the last minute as one of my day trips was canceled, it was pouring rain, and I was soaked with nine hours to kill before my bus was scheduled to leave. From a block away, I booked a single room at this place for £25, walked over five minutes later, and was able to get... more

The hostel has both private rooms with a TV and a shared kitchen and toilet. The room and the kitchen were very clean and the beds comfortable. The same is true of the dormitory rooms in the main hostel. The location is perfect, right around the corner from the Royal Mile. There are shops and bars in the vicinity too.... more

Centrally located, half way down the Royal Mile and a couple of minutes walk from Waverely Rail station, you are right in the heart of the action. The hostel has both the main building and some satellite buildings with extra dorms and rooms. There is an affiliated cafe next door that offers discounts on breakfasts and other food. If you... more

We were in the separate building of private rooms, sharing an apartment (bathroom & kitchen) with the inhabitants of one other room. If you're looking for a sociable environment this isn't it (we only briefly saw the other guests) but it is near nightlife and restaurants. The bed deserves comment for being so comfortable, the kitchen and bathroom were kept... more

Well I suppose I can't complain too much ! Got the nights sleep and made it out in "one piece" although when I saw my "dig's" I wasn't sure if that was going to be the case ! Took the single with "shared bathroom". Staff where good, helpful and friendly :) Location is excellent right on the Royal Mile in... more

It was a little rowdy in the public areas. There wasn't enough hot water for the showers and the bathroom almost filled with water while people tryed to shower and it was dirty. And the toilets would be out of toilet paper. The bed was comfortable and clean. There was some noise from a bar which didn't bother me but... more
