No spaces for socialization. Only three toilet cabins

Location is good, friendly staff, clean room and facilities.

The staff is very unfriendly and grumpy. It's amazing that with this kind of attitude, she prefers to manage a hostel. I didn't even get the code for the door and even tho I rang the bell a couple of times, they were just in front of the door and didn't allow me to come in or at least check the door. They don't provide the information in the hostel profile that some bunks have 3 levels and the hostel is on the top floor with lots of stairs and no elevators too.

The location is great.

I appreciated good location and quiet place. Short distance to the city center, to the bus stop of AE (Airport Express) and to Edinburgh bus station.

The toilets have limited space for the amount of people in the hostel.

Lovely kitchen, and the showers were really good too! Good location!

The location was awesome, all the most important and beautiful places are easily reachable on foot :) And the stuff was amazingly nice, they help me truly with finding myself in the city - and left the key for me even though I arrived after midnight.

As a woman solo traveller, I would definitely recommend this hostel. I felt safe, the hostel itself is very cozy and clean, also perfectly located near to the main attractions of the city. Staff was absolutely amazing and welcoming! Even if I was in a 12-bed dorm, privacy is guaranteed. Had the chance to meet a lot of other solo travellers!

Curtains over the main windows in the room would help to block out light.

Really well situated hostel so close to the train station and bus stops, very safe and secure but also clean and sociable. The 12 bed dorm can get a bit noisy especially with lockers and creaky floor boards but the beds are super comfy and the way there are arranged gives privacy and personal space.

Stayed in April 2024

The bed was uncomfortable for me and the distance between the beds in the 12-bed shared room was too small. As a result, I couldn't sit properly on the bed. Moreover, some of the girls were snoring and talking on the phone late at night which was quite disappointing.

I appreciate the location of the hostel. I find it to be very convenient as everything is easily accessible within a short distance. The hostel is situated in a great spot that allows me to explore the city with ease. I love the fact that I can easily access different modes of transportation, like buses and trains, from here. Additionally, there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, shops, and other attractions nearby that I enjoy visiting. Overall, I think the location is one of the best features of this hostel.

great location, clear instructions from staff. It was safe even though I was late on arrival after midnight. It's near Airlink 100 the YY stop.

Amazing location!!

Too many stairs to get to the hostel A more cozy hangout room/dining room would’ve made the place perfect Also in my room there were bunk beds made for 3 people, so you can imagine how squeaky out beds were and how each girl’s movement affected the others

Good location GEEAT staff The CLEANEST and BIGGEST showers I’ve seen in a hostel! Linen&towels looked clean and new

The loveliet staff, who always seemed invested in ensuring I had a good stay - and a good time in Edinburgh overall! Clean, comfortable facilities where I felt safe as a solo woman. Really nice shared kitchen, good showers that stayed hot the entire time. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend the place to a friend! The only thing I would note is that the hostel is up a very long staircase. I managed it with a hefty suitcase, but it was a bit knackering! In addition, the lockers require a specific kind of lock - the one I brought was too thin and the hostel was kind enough to lend me one (though typically you have to purchase it). If you want to bring your own instead of purchasing, perhaps check with the hostel about the kind of lock they use.

Maybe just a little bit cold in the shared space

One of the best hostel I stayed in. Everything was perfect, the staff is really nice. The space was calm and quite. I was working there and it was really nice. It's really clean and I had the best sleep ever ! The kitchen is also perfect. I love the fact that they are thinking about the planet with the lights, heating...

Nice, stylish and thoughtful decor well done

The stairs, but they tell you about them before you go.

Very friendly and helpful staff, the cleanest hostel I've ever stayed in, I ended up getting a private room paying the difference and it was a very good experience.

Bunk bed was very uncomfortable, it felt I was laying on the floor. The room was very smelly too, I couldn’t sleep on the first night. The room I stayed was for 12 people in 4 bunk beds. Common areas was quite nice and clean. The building it self was not very clean.

If this wants to be an eco hostel then it needs double glazed windows. You could feel the wind through the cracks and with the radiators pumping out heat it’s quite wasteful of energy! It would be nice to have at least one notice as you go up the stairs to tell you that you are in the right place! The toilet door could do with something to stop it banging as you go out. Sone noise of bottles being disposed of from the pub next door but I did expect that in town. Hooks for coats and towels in the dorm would be good. And a place in the shower to put your soap other than the floor!

Super clean, friendly staff and excellent location. Nice hanging area and kitchen with big table.

It was above a pub so slightly noisy, but this wasn't terrible! It was on the forth floor so if you pack to much you'll struggle to carry up the stairs- but not an issue for me personally.

Can't ask for a better location directly opposite the train station, good sized private room with towel provided. Good kitchen facilities & bathroom and toilets kept clean daily. Wifi working and friendly check in staff

These are triple bunk beds so very low ceilings, you don't have to be claustrophobic

The perfect location, cleanliness of the premises, the kindness of the staff

Tiny room and noisy place.

Good price. Individual bathroom.

There were maybe not enough storage with coat hanger for example and the bunk beds move a lot when the upper person move a bit

It’s well located in the City, really clean ans calm with a cocooning lounge

The seating area was very uncomfortable - just a bit more padding would help!

Great location, very comfortable and clean, and good to have use of such a well-supplied and spotless kitchen.

Stayed in November 2023

The doors of the room wouldn’t always close well, so you had to mind that. There were 3 showers but only one had a dry place to put your toiletries on so the other two only had hooks to hang your clothes.

The location was amazing and you couldn’t be closer to the city center. The staff was super nice and helpful.
