Highly recommended ”
Very happy with our stay - we booked the triple room. Room was very clean and newly refurbished. Temperature set for room was wonderful and provided us with good warm night's sleep from the cold outside. Bathroom was more than expected - very clean, good hot water flow, thick toilet paper, puffy thick towels. Location right in the smack of city. There was no kettle though. Happy customer.

Strategic location and great facilities. The hostel is clean and has good application of COVID-19 precautions. The time is also very flexible as the receptionist opens for 24hr. Definitely worth the price. I highly recommend this hostel if you come to visit Edinburgh!

Ideal location and good value for money ”
We had 4 night stay in this hostel. The room was pleasant with a good sized bathroom. There are plenty of facilities on site such as a lively bar and good washing facilities. The only downside to this stay was the difficulty in parking. However it is do able by alternating between street parking and paid car parks. We will be back!!

Great value for money, I was quite disappointed in the breakfast, all I got was a bowl of cereal, orange juice one cup of cold coffee and there was no bread, definitely not worth £7.50
