Exactly what's needed in a hostel: quiet rooms, comfortable beds. Showers, toilets worked perfectly. Everything very clean, like a new place. Lift a little slow, so used stairs. If need to will definitely use St Chris again.

We were recently in Edinburgh and the location is unbeatable, the service at reception was super friendly but what I'm going to give it a big extra star for is security, I even forgot my engagement rings and I contacted them super quickly and immediately they confirmed that they had found them and I could pick them

Great hostel! Welcoming staff, clean rooms and toilets, secure (keycard entry). Has privacy curtains which is always a win. Really central location near old town, new town and train station. Only down side is very limited self catering facilities - one kettle, one microwave and a toaster.

'Dear guest, thank you so much for staying with us and for taking the time to write us your kind feedback, we do truly appreciate it and always take it on board to improve wherever needed :) The self-catering facilities have been built as a small station for our guests to heat up and quickly prep some food or/and enjoy the free tea and coffee provided. We do understand they may be busy at times when our hostel is full capacity, that's why we also offer special hostel guests exclusive discounts at our hostel's cafe and bar with a 25% discount in all food items. We hope you had an awesome time while at our hostel and we can't wait to host you again in the near future. Safe travels! - The STC Edinburgh Reception Team'

The staff was super friendly, specially Seth. I liked everything, bedsheets was clean and smelling good, pillow and mattress comfy. The only thing I concerned is about the cleanliness of the bathroom... could be much better. 9/10.

It was our only option in Edinburgh, we paid 100 pound per person and I had the worst night of the trip

I had a very comfortable overnight stay at this extremely nice and clean hostel. The location is perfect, walking distance from the Waverley train station. A great value for money.

Comfy beds and clean rooms, bathrooms also a lil dirty but ig with lots of people it’s predictable. Kitchen small and lounge not social. Free drink was good but overall not a very social hostel tbh (maybe that’s just me). Bed comfy and good privacy tho so would stay again.

The Hostel is clearly designed for profitability and not comfort. It is designed worse than mort prisons. Bunks are three tiers, many doors open into the bathroom. It is a series of narrow halls with no open spaces. The few common areas are multi use and uncomfortable, like front desk/eating area/sitting area and
