1. The door lock of our room made a loud click sound no matter how careful we closed the door. It made us unable to sleep well at night. 2. The upper bed of the bunk bed is loose, so when the person on the upper bed moves, it creates sounds that is very disturbing.

The location is really convenient. The staff are friendly, especially the lady we met on the first day. She gave us many suggestions on the attractions.

Cleanliness could be a bit better. Nothing major, but just generally.

Sweet, small hostel that makes one feel quite relaxed and 'at home'. Perfect location. Recommended for short stays.

The bed linen was well worn. The bathroom and kitchen facilities were also well used but everything was good enough and for the money it was great.

Really convenient location. Comfortable, had everything you would need. Staff were friendly.

I had a noisy room with a windows on the main street and the old windows didn't help.

I really liked the vibe. It's a small hostel with a big kitchen which facilitates meeting new people. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe and confortable so a big up to the team!

It is a typical cheap bacpacker place, so do not expect too much - it matches the price. The biggest minus is that there are only 2 toilets and showers - not big, plus additional 2 in mixed bathrooms - it could get crowdy, if more people are leaving at the same time. It is also not quiet - close to street, you will hear cars and people coming from bar crawls - just be prepared for that:)

Hostel has a great location right at The Royal Mile, so close to most attractions and to bus and train station. Personel is friendly and provides additional activities. They have towels inclided in price. It is a typical backpacker place with kitchen access. Place is not to big, but works fine for people on budget.

Quite small room, many bunk beds. More spacious rooms might be nice.

Great location, cheap

It’s very friendly and nice for backpackers. The location is very good and near castle, train & museum.

Slightly hard to find as it's up a set of stairs that shares with an Indian restaurant. Other than that it's a tidy hostel at a good price.

Cheap as chips. Location is fantastic on the royal mile. 2 mins from Hive (if you know you know). Was perfect for a night out in Edinburgh as we could come and go as we please. Nice entrance area. Secured lockers per person. Shared bathroom was nice enough. Does what it says on the tin for £20 a head.

The events are such a nice thing to have everyday during the week. The location is perfect. The reception people are so polite and friendly.

Great location!

Nothing they can do about it but there’s not much lounge space and they do say you can hang out at a sister property. The lounge areas were rather cold.

The location is awesome. Staff was really great. Nice that you can store luggage at a nearby sister property. Good bathrooms.

The rooms were not very spacious. It was a bit compact.

The rooms were situated in a great location, making it convenient to reach both the bus and railway stations. They were definitely worth the price, offering comfort, and the staff was incredibly friendly. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there

Bathrooms are too small for the hostel, and there aren't enough stalls/showers available in the busy hours (morning/evening) so be ready to fight for a queue space hahaha

The location was AWESOME! The rooms are quiet and tidy, check-in was easy even with us getting there way past midnight. Wi-fi worked pretty well :)

Perfect location and great installations. Friendly staff

The bed was a bit too hard to my taste, and pressure in the shower maybe a bit too low but it was working perfectly otherwise.

Very friendly, helpful and accommodating staff, family atmosphere and interesting social activities, good location in the city, great value for money! I would definitely come back if I ever find myself in Edinburgh again!

Light on toilets, and one didn't flush well

Great hostel, busy but still quite quiet for a Friday night. Very welcoming

Stayed in March 2024

The Wi-Fi cut out and didn’t come on until morning. One of our locker keys was missing so we only had one to share between two people. The pillows were very flat (I know that is a personal preference though).

The staff were friendly and the room was very nice. Unfortunately I don’t have much to say because I got there and crashed without much interaction, but the experience overall was very good.

Stayed in March 2024

Our locker was broken and didn’t close properly, there are only 4 showers total, 2 in the female-only bathroom and 2 in the all-genders bathroom, but 1 of the showers in the all-genders bathroom was broken and so there was only one shower available.

Fantastic location on the royal mile, easy to get to main attractions and the train station. The beds were very comfortable.

I hope the work staff and volunteers there will be more professional in the future.

The location is great. I just know one female volunteer who is always smelling is great and a male volunteer who plays Guitar is great. Staying in a hostel with this kind of work staff is more important than what the place you stay at looks like.

The windows didn't do a great job at keeping out external sound sadly. The bed wasn't the comfiest to sleep on, might just be the mattress was a bit hard.

The themed rooms are a nice touch. The lockers are a good size for storage and they came with a safe although I never used it. There's plenty of space under the bed for bags. Bed came with a light and sockets Free earplugs at the front desk. They weren't the best but they were also free so i can't complain. Cozy reception area with board games and couches Fantastic location in the old town not even 10 mins walk from the main station. The room cost 20 quid a night!

Stayed in March 2024

Noise from the street at nights. But can't really complain due to the location.

Location very central. Staff very friendly.

The cleanliness of this hostel left a bit to be desired.

Probably one of the best hostels I've stayed in so far. The atmosphere is very cozy and inviting and the kitchen and living room are a big plus. The location also made our stay so much easier as it is in the very heart of the old town so all major attractions are within walking distance.
