Refused a service dog to check in.
They refused my service dog to check in with me and we had to cancel the stay and had to find another hotel. We need a refund for our stay.

It was the second time I booked in this hostel and I really like it. It’s near the city centre, Royal mile and the Edinburgh’s castle. The team is very cool, the breakfast is good and full of choices. I recommend it!

In our first stay in Edinburgh in a hostel, we found the experience at St. Christopher's Inn very enjoyable!! The views outside our room were incredible and appreciated the walkability and safety we felt throughout our stay. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

The place is in a good location and the staff are friendly. However, the room was clearly not cleaned for a very long time and the hot water in the shower never worked

Urgently need reform! Bathrooms should be separated by gender. Security doors don't work anyone comes in. Close this place paint, repair and do it a heavy cleaning. It also separates toilets and showers by gender. I didn't feel safe In mixed bathrooms.
