United KingdomYHA not far from Edinburgh station and can go to by bus no.22 from Edinburgh station .
ThailandGood budget accommodation, generous space especially for a single room. Convenient location, lovely staff, good breakfast. The view out to a busy roundabout was made up for by a window you could open, which is so much better than air con. The staff were very friendly and helpful and there are nice touches like bedside lights.
United KingdomThe Hostel it's just 15 minutes walk from the city center (Princess Street) and from the Waverley train station, 15 minutes from Calton Hill and about 20 minutes walk from the Royal Mile. The bedroom are very clean and comfty and the staff has been very kind, if you need information or tips about things to see just ask them. The breakfast was very good and, you get off as full as an egg. Recommended.
ItalyCheap, clean, modern, great shower, only 20 min walk to the royal mile, hard to fault for basic no frills accommodation. We were told before hand there was building work going in to the bar area, so we couldnt use this facility but didbt impact our stay
United KingdomIt was a great budget private room with shower for 3 Asian friends to visit Edinburgh
United KingdomHelpful Staff. Location was fab. Would recommend to anyone
