If you take bus 35 from the airport it will stop in front of the door. So quite easy. There there is a bit noise from the street so bring your ear plugs with you. The kitchen has everything to cook your meal and the location is great. Right in the middle of the city center. You can walk to all the main sights. The staff is very helpfull Not realy a bad thing, but there where a lot of Spanish people arround since the owners are Spanish. Also a lot of long stayers so I did not met people which also wanted go out to see the city or visit a pub or club. But for some people this would be fine.

Reception staff was great. The hostel can use some improvements: Room - Change to new bed. It's a bit too old and I could feel the springs. - Change the pillows. It's rather flat now. - Need hooks for towels in the room

We just stayed the one night in edinburgh and we were coming in on the bus so we didn't want to walk very far so the location was perfect. Right on the royal mile, in my view the best bit in edinburgh. The double room we had was very spacious and because it was december we were provided with a heater, very cosy. The guy behind the bar was very friendly and helpfull. The only thing we were wondering was because the double room was so spacious if you couldn't have fit a toilet/bathroom in. Just for an extra bit of 'luxury'. But maybe the double rooms get used as dormrooms in the summer holiday since it's much busier then. Which I can understand.

Great location and budget price. Can't bear the noise from the street at the night. It is really noisy and made me hard to fall asleep during the night. Shower wasn't so good. The temperature of the water was hard to set.

Good location to access old town,free tea n coffee so u can get a cup of coffee for a break during your walking trip. I stayed initially in a 8bed dorm with 6 other guys,the smell was a little awful to be honest. Reasonale price though,just £10.I spent the last day in a 4 bed dorm which was better but definitely costs more-£19 Rooms sometimes are so smelly No wifi offerred

It's quite near the city centre, and is easy to find it. With the cheap price, I think it's so good. The shower room doesn't divide from man and woman.

I liked the hostel staff and the hostel location. I don't like the facilities one gets there. As a comparison, Formula One (the cheapest Accor hotel) offers some basic facilities (a soap and a towel in the room for example) at half price. If I knew this in advance, I would have chosen to stay in a hotel. Next time I visit Edinburgh I will definitely chose a hotel, not a hostel. I would not recommend a hostel to any of my friends. Nothing particular with Brodies, I guess it is the same with all hostels.

The location is close to perfect. It's a short walk from Waverley Station and from the airport bus. I found the staff very friendly and helpful and fully informed about the city. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable. The number of toilets is limited, however this never became a problem. There was some noise coming from the street but, as I was there during the Fringe Festival, this was to be expected.
