I enjoyed my stay at The Hostel and met a lot of interesting people when I was there. The rooms were very clean and spacious, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. One of the biggest advantages is that it is a stone's throw away from the train station, and you can easily walk to all the sights within 10-15... More

I stayed at this hostel on a class trip from university, the main focus of the trip being sampling the Edinburgh nightlife, sightseeing and, ehh, sampling the Edinburgh nightlife!! I have to say, I can't fault the place for its location; we flew into Edinburgh from Dublin and got the Airlink bus to within walking distance of the hostel -... More

For everybody who is looking for a cheap accommodation, who is used to hostels and common hostel problems, I can recommend this place. Here are my categories: Bathrooms: There's more than one bathroom, and some are cleaner than others; the one clostest to the reception is the cleanest one, so, use this one. They're unisex, so don't be shy. You... More

In brief.... -no radiator in the bathrooms -water never hot enough to have a shower. ... -sockets available only in the communal rooms and during my stay half of them weren't working. (Plus one of them exploded on the contact to the charger of a friend -> the iphone charger had been tested & it was fine) -reception closing along... More

The location is good, so is the price. The rooms are to small, with 3 bunk beds and the luggage of 6 people, there was just enough space for 2 people moving in the room at the same time. The toilets and showers were not clean. It was noisy and the breakfast was far from eatable.

I leave in Aberdeen and use this hostel when flying early from Edinburgh. it's cheap and convenient cause it's just across the street from haymarket but it's the worst hotel ever. I have been there three times and had there nightmare experiences. Last in date was a few hours ago. got charged a penalty fee for checking in after eleven... More

I was staying this hostel last weekend. The worst hostel I have ever been. No heating in bedroom & the staff could not do anything (?) - No toilet paper all the time/ no hot water in unisex bathroom I was in, the water was stopping 3 seconds once then I had to move to an other and it was... More

I stayed at this hostel for a total of four nights. After the first night they happily stored my luggage while I went on a Rabbies Tour. I was then here for another three nights. My arrival at the hostel hard, but only due to the roadworks being carried out in front for the new tramway. So the best thing... More

wish I would have read all the other negative reviews before I went there. I hated it! No atmosphere, sealed jockets, CCTV is watching you washing the dishes and warns you that if u dont u'll be banned from the kitchen. this hostel is cheap nothing else. location is good to get away from there, bad to explore the city.
