Friendly staff and good location. ウェイバリー駅から徒歩五分。 最初はちょっとわかりにくいけれど、市内観光にはもってこいですな。 In my room, I couldnt have wi-fi connection.

perfect for central edinburgh, only a few minutes walk to royal mile and ideal for accessing edinburgh fringe events yet was quiet at night. Kitchen basic but more than adequate for making own meals. Staff very helpful and friendly. More than happy to store your bags in a locked room at start and end of your stay. Standard university room. Ideal for solo travellers wanting to save money compared to hotel but more privacy than shared hostel.

Location of the hostel is very good, just 50 meters to the Royal Mile but not so interesting place for solo travellers as there is no common room to meet the others. On the other hand having a single room at this price in Edinburgh especially in July was more than awesome.

La ubicación. Las horas de chequeo y salida del hostal me parecen muy inadecuadas. El ingreso es realmente tarde y la salida muy temprano. Entendiendo que se debe hacer limpieza y adecuación para el próximo huésped, debería ser mas equilibrado.

Cheap and cheerful. Clean, organised. Two mins from royal mile - top location. Entrance bit off-putting. Next to pubs and entrance exposed to everyone. Dark in corridors because of energy saving - on other hand, this made it Eco friendly.

Location, close to Royal Mile. Parking on the doorstep. Had to pay extra for towels and we did not know in advance. The mattresses were worn and a bit uncomfortable. The rooms we strayed in needed some refurbishment.

La ubicación yq ue está gestionado por gente joven muy amable. Además, la recepción funciona las 24 horas, lo que en mi caso fue un plus, pues tengía que coger un vuelo de madrugada. Por decir algo, el ruido que hací el suelo, ya que debajo de la moqueta el suelo es de madera. Y también los portazos que daba la gente para cerrar las puertas, pero eso es una cuestión de respeto por los demás, no del Hostel en sí.

Hotel pratique et bien situé pour les voyageurs solitaires et appréciant une certaine intimité. A oublier pour les voyageurs qui cherchent de la compagnie. Manque une salle commune ou tv pour rencontrer les autres voyageurs.

Situación céntrica, ambiente familiar, 4 personas en un mismo apartamento, buen precio, mejor si hubiese 2 baños. Tener que pagar por las toallas:. una sola mediana 2 libras por persona, mejor incluirlo en el precio total o comunicarlo en las condiciones generales.Mucho ruido de los vecinos y de la calle, poco aislamiento.T.V. en cocina-comedor.
