    WiFi didn't work, the beds are very uncomfortable and too low - claustrophobic, be careful not to hit your head when you get up! Too small room for the number of people.

    Easy check in, good kitchen facilities, cleaniness.

    The staff was lovely and the bed was very very comfortable. Also,the showers are individually separated,in many hostels that i have stayed before they are like "gyms" showers,but they are actually separated in individual rooms and that for me is a plus. Also has a laundry and the common areas are very cozy. Would absolutely recommend.

    Nothing much to point out for this price.

    During my recent stay in Edinburgh, I was fortunate to find a charming hostel that offered far more than just a place to rest. What stood out the most was the location, perfectly situated for exploring the city. Nestled in a vibrant neighborhood, it was conveniently close to many of Edinburgh's must-see attractions, allowing me to immerse myself fully in the city's rich history and culture. The hostel's ambiance was welcoming and comfortable, ideal for travelers looking for a budget-friendly option without sacrificing quality. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploration. It's a perfect choice for those who plan to spend most of their time out and about in the city, needing a comfortable place to sleep and recharge. One of the highlights of my stay was the incredibly helpful staff. Although I can't recall the name of the lady at the front desk, her assistance and warmth left a lasting impression. She was always ready with helpful tips and recommendations, making my stay much smoother and enjoyable. Her knowledge of Edinburgh was impressive, and her guidance helped me discover some hidden gems in the city. Another notable aspect was the free parking provided by the hostel. In a city where parking can be a challenge, this was a much-appreciated convenience that added value to my stay. It allowed me to explore areas outside of Edinburgh without worrying about the added expense and hassle of parking. James, another member of the staff, was equally informative. His insights about local eateries, events, and historical sites enriched my experience. He had a knack for understanding what I was interested in and tailored his suggestions accordingly, which made my trip more personalized and enjoyable. In summary, the hostel in Edinburgh offered a remarkable balance of affordability, convenience, and friendly service.

    The towels seemed a bit overused with some permanent stains, since they are white towels. The lockers are a bit tiny and it would be better if the lockers were inside the rooms, instead of the small sofa maybe, because this way you have to take your backpack out, bring it to your room to change or take something, and later put it back out, and it is a bit of a hassle, especially since it isn't easy to fit them inside if you have a bigger backpack. The location is not too bad if you plan on hopping on public transport anyway, for your sightseeing. We would just get a day ticket for the buses. Also, the middle bed is a bit tricky to get into, but hey, what can you do about that..

    The room is very clean and well-kept. Beds were comfy. Since it is out of city center and doesn't have much shared spaces inside it is nice and quiet to fall asleep, if that is what you want.

    The bunks were a bit small to get una en out of. The lockers were also to small to fit a suitcase and there was no other location to lock up your belongings.

    The showers were very clean and the water pressure and temperature was amazing. The rooms were also very clean and beds were comfortable.

    No signage, I didn’t go through my trouble finding it (cos I asked someone I saw outside), but it could have been really frustrating finding it.

    While it's currently clean and nice. It is because it is still new. A bit worried it will quickly deteriorate particularly the shower where there are barely any vents leaving them to be a steam and humidity fest.

    Clean and nice place. Marilyn has been very helpful. Reasonable price. There was a group of people in the room that had no care for others. (Brought a curry in the room, turned the light on in the middle of the night). Not the hostel faults however even without us complaining, Marilyn noticed and she then decided to sleep in our room and controlled the guests. That's what I call going above and beyond.
