Reviews

Sam 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Best hostel in Edinburgh

Pros: I stayed 5 nights, I went on the Friday night pub crawl, it was a little disorganised at first but was great once it started, on another night I stayed out late and got extremely drunk, I came back and the staff were very helpful and friendly, they made sure I ate and got to my bed safely. I highly recommend this hostel, the location is also perfect.

Cons: I wish the checkout was a little later, this is my only complaint, so a very very good stay

Clean, Good Facilities, Great Location

Pros: The women's dorm was great. Amazing view, good heating, but also with windows that open. Good location, friendly staff, clean, etc.

Cons: They need to address the hot water issue on floor 2. Also I don't like the stand up lockers, under bed trunks would be better.

Pros: Everything was perfect, toilets, showers and the kitchen were always clean. The view from the windows was beautiful. The staff was amazing, always super kind and helpful.

Cons: I'd just suggest a bit more care with the laundering of the bedsheets and pillow hygiene.

Soraia 10/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Staf was friendly, facilites were clean and the privacy was respected among the guests.☺️ Loved the toilets on 2nd floor (208) super colourful!🤩 The place look like a maze but made it fun! 🤣 The room was bigger that expected, I knew it would be a bulk bed but fair play mine was kind of double and the top one a single. Super comfortable! 👏🏻 Overall it was a much nicer experience than I predicted 🙏🏻 Definitely a place to go back.😌

Cons: Could do with a kettle 😅 I like to sleep in complete dark and was some little lights around (nothing major just a great little green round on the ceiling and a sunlight though the curtain) but I slept amazingly! 🤗 A little bit too warm, I did lower the temperature but still made me sweat.🫠
