The room was small , but very clean.
All the staff where very friendly and helpful.
Breakfast for £2 unbeatable.
The location is set in the centre of Edinburgh.
Lovely weekend thank you.
1staff member (male) great worker, good for the hostel, sorry cant remember his name.....
great eclectic hideaway, lovely and cosy, comfy beds, easy check in, deposit of Drivers licence or £10 or passport-returned to you upon check out.
kitchen, lounge downstairs and an abundance of everything the city can offer.
It's a big hostel. The room was nice but lack of storage space. The kitchen and lounge were spacious but pretty crowed all the time. If you prefer quiet place, probably here is not for you. But overall here is nice and reasonable price.
Wonderful location! Fun and quirky. My only issue was the showers. They need better drainage and/or a place to put clothes - especially if the shower rooms are mixed sex

Great for location
I booked a private room. It was very small and bed was hard pillows too. It was noisy but doable. The shared bathroom is coed with two showers and three sinks. No amenities and for the price I paid I would not recommend.
