Really enjoyed my stay here. The staff are very cheery and welcoming and will do anything they can to accommodate you. Very clean and central to everything you’d want to see in Edinburgh. Beds are self contained so you can have privacy and other guests are generally cool. They have live music in the bar below Thursday

Cannot comment on the fun side as it was not a benefit I was seeking. I simply needed a bed for the night in Edinburgh. It was opposite the train station and super close to old town. Under £30 on a weekend and the breakfast was really good. What more could you ask for? Thank you!

Slept superbly well in an 18 bed dorm, great value for money especially considering the very central location. The curtains on each bed is a great touch for added privacy. I arrived an hour later than planned due to flight issues, but even arriving at 1:30am was no issue! (Some hostels I've been to charge you upwards

My private room was poorly sound-insulated, and my door kept banging even when closed and locked - suggesting it was poorly secured. Both the toilet and sink were coming away from the wall. Only two washers and dryers for the whole hostel - which seemed to be in use for regular facilities cleaning. Great staff, good

We were there as a family of 5 and had a room for 6. The location of the hostel is perfect to explore the city - new and old town. The hostel itself really isn't anything special, the rooms are ok. But the staff are very helpful und also the breakfast is nice.

we stayed for one night, the facilities where clean and very accommodating to our basic needs. we stayed in a 9 bedroom mixed dorm and unfortunately we got put with 6 disgusting, farting, snoring, burping men. we did not sleep due to these men and will never stay in a mixed dorm room again.

We are really sorry to read that your roomies were not the best behaving ones and hope that our friendly 24/7 reception team were able to help you at the time, we are always happy to offer a room move option (may our availability allow) and/or free earplugs. We got also a mix of lovely female dorms and private double/twin rooms at both our Original and Old Town sites in Edinburgh, which we hope you may find more enjoyable in a future stay with us. Wish you all the best! The STC Edinburgh Team.'

Lift not working Got room on 5th floor Tiny suffocating rooms, not worth the money. Even the private room is expensive and claustrophobic .

The website says that the Edinburgh location I booked has a lift and is more accessible. Turns out that this was actually the case for the HQ location across the street. I would have been extremely unhappy and complained to staff if I were placed on a higher floor or had more difficult accessibility needs.

Felt more like a cabin on a ship, especially the toilets and showers. Fruit salad and yogurt at breakfast are disgusting, think it was that cheap kwark you can buy and fruit was fruit cocktail from a tin. The saviour at breakfast is the toastie maker.
