Fabulous 🤩 hostel, in the heart of Edinburgh

The lovely kitchen, the free coffee & tea. The hair dryer/vanity stations 🪞. All around one of the top 10 hostel's I've ever stayed at 🤩🏡🦜

It was splendid

Pros: No breakfast, unfortunately. But for the price, it's bang for buck

Cons: The fact that I couldn't go to the kitchen from 11pm-8am. I'm a night crawler so I'm typically hungry most nights.

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Pocket friendly and very nice location! Was in the middle of the town most locations are 30 mints walk like the Edinburgh castle, Victoria market street etc! Tram station in 3 mints walk.

Cons: Washrooms should be a bit more clean. Prese try to have an air apart or something in the washrooms!

Highly recommended

Pros: I love how convenient it was They have everything I need for a solo travel The kitchen is complete to cook The common area is comfy I stayed on the upper bunk, and there were no creaking sounds at all. The space between the bed and the ceiling was high, making it feel very spacious. The room is warm enough during winter. The toilet and bathroom are clean and as a Muslim traveler, to have a sink in the toilet is absolutely perfect for a portable bidet. The location is perfect to visit most of the places.

Cons: There's no lift for 3 storey hostel Not suitable if you bring heavy luggage I forgot to take any pictures of the hostel
