This hostel has all amenities you would expect at a hostel. It was quiet to sleep in the "pods" and I appreciated the hot water! (as most travelers do). This location is close to attractions and is walkable to National Art Gallery, National Museum, and even up to Edinburgh Castle. The staff were excellent. A real plus that you can leave your luggage before you check in, as well as after you check out, so that you can benefit of a full day of your visit without dragging your stuff around.

Comfy but noisy

The hostel is clean and comfortable. We did however have lots of noise from nearby building work from 6am onwards. Several guests in the shared dorm did not respect the hour quiet hours so unfortunately quite a broke night's sleep.

Great little hostel with all the bells and whistles that you might need. Minimal staff, but everything is clear for check-in and check-out. This is an excellent option if you are a solo traveller looking for something a little more quiet than a rowdy party hostel. The bunks and bathrooms were very clean! The only downside is that there is only one toilet for ten or so guests on the first floor, but I understand that space is limited in Edinburgh. All in all, it is a great hostel with everything you might need for a great stay in Edinburgh.

What I liked was it’s location to shopping and transportation. Also it’s cleanliness. What I didn’t like was the thermostat was locked 🔒 and not ajustable. Also, it’s location was neat to a noisy pub. But overall a nice experience.

This is my first experience at a hostel. It was great. I was comfortable and felt safe. Staff is hardworking and helpful. The only thing is the bar next door. You will hear beer bottles being thrown out a few times a day. They do give earplugs so it helps to block some of the noise.

Great location, clean, loud at night (from outside

Great location. Clean. Easy to access. My only complaint is that it was loud. Not so much inside (just snoring and ear plugs were kindly pre-provided) but outside. It was Fringe festival time, so some folks were out until all hours … and deliveries to the nearby Restaurants start early. If you sleep deeply, it’s no big deal. If not, it may not be the right place for you.

When arrived in my room late in the evening after a long and happy day in edinburgh visiting a relative, I was confronted with an unmade, apparently already slept in pod. This was most distressing and annoying. With no reception to complain about this, I decided to sleep in the adjacent, unslept in pod. However, then in the morning I awoke to find my locker had been locked out during the night and I could not access my clothes and belongings! All of this hassle and stress meant I didn't get a win of sleep. On the plus side, when I called the helpline via Whatsapp, the problems with my locker were fixed quite quickly by the support worker, who was also very patient, polite and kind. So it's hard to give an unbiased report on my stay due to those issues - might be ok for someone else. In conclusion, this hostel will not be my first choice for somewhere to stay when I'm next in Edinburgh.
