I've stayed here 2 years in a row when the fringe festivals been on and I think it offers good value for money, especially at fringe time as prices can escalate. It's used as student halls the rest of the year so I mean it's pretty basic - single rooms with a bed, chair, desk, and cupboard. There's a communal... More

Good location. 10 min walk from Waverley station. Quiet. It could have been a bit cleaner! More

My husband and I stayed at the Edinburgh Metro on multiple days. When we booked the hostel, we booked through the website for one male and one female. We were under the impression that we would be together in a twin room.... only to that was not the case. We weren't in the same apartment.... we weren't even on the... More

Booked this place way in advance to stay during the festival and although it took me a while to understand that the only way you could walk to the entrance of the hostel is not from the main road that I walked up and down thinking to myself I had gone mental.

I travelled to Edinburgh for the Fringe fest and it was perfect. The staff were really helpful (thanks Rachel!) and it was a FAB location. It is a private single room and the bathrooms were a good size and always clean. Linen was provided and towels were cheap to hire. The kitchen facilities were great (if you wanted to use... More

Probably less than half were “youth” age and it was definitely not a... More
