It exceeded my expectations! I stayed in a 12 bed room, but for most of my stay we were 2 to 4 people in the room which was really nice. All the beds had their own shelf with a plug which was really handy and also a locker for each person. The room had really nice views of the Edinburgh Castle. The bathrooms were also really clean and nice.
