Having 24/7 reception, and access to the dining area

The location is very convenient and some eco friendly solutions e.g. saving water in bathrooms were a big plus.

The decor for this hostel is fantastic. It is very stylish and unique. The room was very clean and quiet. The mattress was comfortable and the location is very walkable with less than 5 minutes to the Edinburgh Waverly train station. It is ideally located for shops, pubs, and restaurants. The breakfast was simple but ample to start the day. All of the staff I encountered were very friendly and hospitable.

The Kitchen is perfect for sharing and the rooms are confortable

I liked the bedsheats that were soft and clean, the community that was created,so I could make a lot of friends from different countries, and the location that was very central

Spot on hostel in the heart of Edinburgh, loved the interiors, kitchen and breakfast included. Staff was very welcoming and always available. Totally recommend it for a quick city break, close to all amenities.

Friendly staff, great location, clean, nice rooms and facilities

i really enjoyed my accommodation, the place is small however it is lovely, perfect location, nice environment, good breakfast, the room quiet and beds comfortable, the prices is normal. The staff is so kind and helpful. I really liked it.

The location is great, very close to train station and old town touristic points. The staff was very friendly.

Right at the city centre just next to railway station. Beds weee super comfy. Hosts were really good. In fact they even taught me some hacks on using European charger in the UK ports here. They allowed us to keep our bags after checkout, even allowed to use their facilities to heat our food even though we checked out in the morning. Really appreciated.
