The hostel is situated in a perfect location, being right in the centre of the city on the royal mile. I typically am not the type of person who stays in hostels as I like to have the privacy of a bedroom, but that was not a problem with this hostel. The (very comfortable) pods offer you the best of both worlds: the sociability of a hostel dorm and the privacy of a bedroom. The hostel is very secure with pincode operated doors and lockers. The common room has all the facilities you could need with a good kitchen, beer for sale on draught and a well stocked fridge. The social environment is very welcoming there too and all the staff are lovely! I did not avail of the breakfast but the waffles cooked in the morning looked fantastic too.

Nothing much. The door to the room was a bit noisy which clicked every time people entered.

Everything - very well run and thought out. Comfortable. Pods are really comfortable.

Mixed dorms. There should be an option to have female/male only dorms. I got stuck with three guys in the dorm that made a snoring competition during the night.

For a hostel, it's remarkably clean. The kitchen and common area are pretty nice and lively, and they offer free walking tours and whisky tastings in their own bar. There's a locker for your things that you lock with a personal code, and it's pretty easy to climb into the pods. Bathrooms and showers are big and clean.

If you have heavy luggage would take a bit of walk as you need to go around a block rather than many stairs to get to the hostel. But it’s worth it

Just amazing much better than expected. Economical choice at the same time getting your own privacy in individual pod with curtains and comfortable bed and linen, very clean hostel and bathrooms and toilets are regularly cleaned. Luggage locker provided (no padlock required), 2x shoe spaces, assigned cloth hook on the wall and in individual pod, USB socket (no power point in pod due to regulation). Kitchen is well equipped. Reception friendly. Close to many restaurants and shops. Hostel also offer free city walk which was fun!

pictures on the website do not match the reality, completely different rooms. unbearable ventilation noise all the time including during the night and freezing cold room without heating when it's 5C outside at night, unrefundable towel rent £3, you can buy a new one at poundland for £4

perfect location, clean and comfy beds, free lockers before and after check in, nice showers with good preassure, spacious kitchen. take advantage of their free city tours and fun events in the evenings in the lobby.

I had an enjoyable experience here. Really nice staff, nice area, and nice facilities

Stayed in March 2024

It was quite a compact hostel, so limited space and the rooms didn’t seem to get a vacuum/clean daily.

The location - right in the old town

Got very hot in the pod the first night but an electric fan from reception sorted that out

Clean, modern, secure, access to amenities like hairdryers and fans, great coffee shop and fantastic location

Might be a bit more expensive than other hostels but the location pays for it

Amazing location, nice friendly staff. Comfy beds. Showers and toilets are nice and clean

There weren't any paper towels in the bathroom. I had to dry my hands with toilet paper.

Great location literally round the corner from the pubs, restaurants, and shops. Friendly staff and wonderful breakfast in a cozy common area. Cozy pod in the spacious courtroom that afforded complete privacy.

Nothing.

Everything was fantastic!!!!

Stayed in March 2024

It was my first time ever sleeping in a hostel, I would have juste appreciated the whole check-in part with someone not talking too fast, I got lost trying to find my room, then again looking for the bathroom ! But very pleased anyway !

Everything was modern, clean, the lockers are perfectly sized, the pods are really comfortable. The bathroom was very clean, comfy... And the whole place smells really nice like Lush soap 😄

The kitchen dining is kind of small and the sitting area is small.

It is great , clean and since it separates the female and male toilet and bathroom - it is safer and cleaner.

Stayed in March 2024

Always a great visit, the pods are comfy and private, the showers are fantastic, the place overall is always clean and quiet and the staff are lovely.

The host was very friendly if you needed anything he was there and helped. The property itself is beautiful as well. It is clean and the pods are comfortable. You do have anything you need (shower, beds, heating and a kettle) The nights can get cold but if you have a good sleeping bed it’s fine.
