Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel

such a clean, well appointed hostel, fresh and modern with quality fittings. Really ipressed with the bathroom facilities in the dorm. Nice cafe on ground floor. Also easy to find and not too far from Princes St/bus/train stations. Plus there was no rowdiness from other guests. I highly rate this hostel

there was nothing I didnt like about my stay

Really nice bed :) And after my long day I could find a cup of tee on the 1st floor :)

Three old ladies in my room were snoring all night long :( Was exhausted on the next day of my trip. Next time I will just ask - is there any old lady in the room that I'm going to stay in? If yes, it's probably no hope for a good rest...

good value.

A little bit noisy.

Excellent facilities and location.

Nothing!

The good location, near at all. The cleanliness. The excellent kitchen. The night guardian all the night.

Nothing

Area suited us. It was clean, staff very friendly and helpful

lack of discipline where a party of school children were running up & down the corridors,jumping off beds and were extremely noisy. I don't blame the staff, but the adults accompanying them left them to their own devises. Floor below where fellow companions were, stated it was totally different on the 2nd floor and all quiet. In the morning the children were lined up and quietly walked to the dining room==not the 3rd floor! We did complain and it was dealt with.Can you please fix the venetian blinds?

Quiet at night, even though there was alot of younger people on the same landing. We liked how clean the whole building was inside.

Excellent friendly staff.

Loads of teeenagers!

All mentioned on section 2

As I was put on room 7 in the basement there was a constant noises of furnitures being moved around and footsteps from people walking about in the restaurant area - I am not sure what would be the best solution from the management point of view - but it would be fair to mention that to any would be guest to occupy such facility. I was too tired to ask for another room. That apart, otherwise everything else was excellent.

First time in a hostel and really enjoyed it. Clean room, comfortable bed, close to the city-center and the Royal Mile! Awesome!

Paying £1 for 20 mins of Wi-Fi is quite expensive... This is actually the only negative remark I have.

The room was very comfortable and clean. The hostel is conveniently located about 20 minutes from the center. The kitchen is well equipped.

Wifi costs £1 an hour and is not reliable or fast. I found the staff to be very unfriendly and unhelpful. I had the continental breakfast, which was expensive and not worth the money, especially considering you can go down the road and pay half the price for twice the quality. Finally, and perhaps the worst, you are charged for luggage storage, per hour! Never in my life have I had to pay for luggage storage, in either a hotel or a hostel. Considering this is a hostel and not a hotel, it is not exactly backpacker friendly.

friendly staff..................very clean and comfortable..............

stayed in room 004 on 28th Feb, the front of the handbasin unit in the room, was off, and the tap moved in the unit....... Stayed in room 221 on 6th March, there was a mark on the steps to top bunk, over where i slept.........was it blood? Also the plug under the bed was falling apart! Also the public toilets on the ground floor were dirty........just inconsiderate people using them....

Location staff very clean ans quiet

it was a bit expensive for an early check in

Always good thank you

Taps stay on too long in male toilet ground floor

could not fault hostel location good

I like the kitchen as it is really clean and well-equipped with all kinds of utensils. It's also big enough so that many residents can cook at the same time.

It was clean, close to all attractions

Breakfast is not included, luggage storage available for extra payment, towels are not provided

The reception was very friendly and the room, bathroom and restroom were clean.

The heater did not work very well.

All facilities including the self-catering kitchen and dining room.

No dislikes

Everything is great.

Nicest Backpackers I have ever stayed at! It even smelt good!

The room is clean and tidy and facilities are very good.

Check-out time is so early for me. Tooooo expensive during the new years eve... 70+ pounds for a bed in the 4-bed dorm :-(

I do liked almost everything as customer services were excellent. My roomates very friendly and polite. In general, the atmosphere was great! Cooked breakfast was fantastic

Connection to Wireless was a bit slow and expensive in my opinion. Due a busy time, there was a lack of glasses & mugs difficult to find in the Kitchen.

Brilliant stay, room exceptionally clean, comfy, great location!

Too early in checking out!

Everything was clean and functional. Cozy and warm.
