Great convienent location right next to the train station and close to the Royal Mile along with a short walk all the other main attractions. Quiet rooms (bar some inconsiderate guests) and decent facilities. Staff were lovely and helpful.

Very nice
Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's in the city center so most of the sightseeing places are in walking distance. Close to the Waverley train station. My room has two floor which gave good separation with 10 people in the room. Room was warm. My building did not have any break room, so I had to go out to the different building for water. Bed was clean, though height was too low to sit straight. Toilet was a bit smelly, but overall, okay.
JEESEUNG, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Extremely helpful and friendly front desk! Rooms were perfect, bathrooms / toilets were kept clean, excellent location close to everything (I didn't even have to take public transit!). The only con is the common areas aren't big enough or nice enough given the number of people the hostel.
Shreyas, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, friendly staff, good selection of bunk/room options & optional breakfast. Only 2 toilets/showers for many bunks. Clean from first glance, but dirty walls in bunks & bathroom floors.
Amy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great facilities and location but with more popular hostels comes less tailored service. Some organised activities but lacked a friendly family quality. Still a great stay. 8/10 would recommend.

Convenient location but very noisy!
Ana Luisa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A bed is divided into three layers, and three people can live on it，So each floor is very short, and people sitting on it can't seat up straight,we live together with men and women.
dan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall fantastic, but can be quite loud.

Overall, fantastic location, friendly service, and quite clean. Safe area and right in the middle of everything! Easy access to public transit, food, shops, etc. Downside: bar next door is very loud and people come and go at ALL hours.
Mary, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Hostel experience

It was ok. I had (unknowingly) chosen a room of 12, and it turned out that each room was a three-bed bunk, with me being at the bottom bunk. It was horrible. I couldn’t even sit on my bed. In my opinion, any bunk more than 2 should be banned. While not unique to here, I still find it baffling that hostels have dorm rooms and even bathrooms as mixed. So much awkward interactions with ladies which is quite weird and uncomfortable. Other than that, everything was ok.
