Use this bargain venue for when I can’t get back home to Fife , really great central location and lovely welcoming staff
john, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great staff and room was nice. Weird bathroom, had a strange smell, and it would have been better if the rooms had an en suite shower or toilet. I liked that the beds had curtains and each bed had its own charging port. I'd stay here again.
Sophia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A nice hostel to visit and within walking distance of everywhere. We had a private ensuite, which made our stay great and the breakfast and cheap drinks were value for money.

We booked a double room but on arrival were given bunk beds. I think we should have been offered money back.
Sean, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect Stay in the Heart of Edinburgh!

From start to finish, our experience here was absolutely wonderful. We booked an ensuite double room, and it was spotless, comfortable, and great value for money. The location couldn’t have been better, everything in both the Old Town and New Town was within easy walking distance, which made exploring Edinburgh so convenient. The staff were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast buffet was well worth it, with plenty of options to start the day right. My wife and I truly enjoyed every moment of our stay, everything was perfect. We wouldn’t hesitate to book here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh!

Khaled, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location only

The location is excellent but the service at Reception was horrible and I the curtains from my bed/pod were initially missing.
Honie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good for a night stay. I had a private room with en-suite and it could use an upgrade especially the bathroom. It was still dirty with hairs from other guests on the bed and pillow and the floor wasn’t even swept. Fine for a night but on the pricier side
Kristine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I booked one of their suites and I really enjoyed my stay after all the sightseeing. Conveniently located in the centre of town. Strongly recommended this hostel 👍

javier, 1-night trip

Super cool experience for a first time hostel stay with my family. Very nice! Wasn’t sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and welcoming this place was. We are staying again next week.
Jamie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great spot and location!
Calvin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great spot right in the centre of old town. Buses and trains super close by which is convenient. Rooms are reasonably clean, but the chill zone needs a bit of TLC as it has an interesting smell. Shared showers are really clean for what I expected, a little small but for a hostel it's expected. Would stay here again
Kayley, 1-night trip

Staff was very friendly and helpful. You can't beat the location!
