It was a nice experience staying at your hostel. The bed was well-equipped with lights, sockets, and curtains. The breakfast was really nice, and the friendly, talkative receptionist was especially praiseworthy.

Great location and the staff was really nice. However, we were disappointed that they only give one key per booking, there was not enough bathrooms and there is no female only bathrooms, which we found uncomfortable. Appreciated the curtains in the room, however it was a bit crowded with stuff, as not everyone could

We stayed here for five nights because it was a decent price and location but mostly because it was the only one left that had a decent cleanliness rating. Pretty expensive for a hostel, but I understand everything is expensive in Edinburgh. Sink in the "kitchen" that wasn't a kitchen (only cooking appliance was a

'Hi there,
Thank you for your detailed review. We're really glad you found the dorm clean and the staff friendly. We'll be sure to pass that along to the team.
Just to explain, we don’t have a full kitchen, but we do provide a small area in the chill-out room with a microwave, kettle, crockery, and cutlery for light use. The sink in that area has now been fixed.
We appreciate your feedback on the luggage storage and shared bathrooms and will keep it in mind.
Thanks again for staying with us and sharing your experience.

Room was clean, other guests were respectful and friendly. Staff were all very helpful, welcoming and accommodating. All corridors/rooms required room keys for access so felt very safe, and cages under beds kept all belongings secure.

Bad stay. Noisy because of the bar under the hostel. The sleeping rooms are to hot or to cold. Not very fancy sleeping rooms. I won’t be back.

'Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations.
We understand that noise can be an issue for some guests due to our central location and also being above a bar. For future stays, we do offer complimentary earplugs at reception and have staff available around the clock to help with any concerns, including room temperature adjustments.
While our rooms are simple, we aim to provide a clean and comfortable space, and we’re always working to improve the experience for our guests therefore, we appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration as we continue to make improvements.
Wishing you all the best in your future travels.
Best regards,

Convenient spot! Showers weren't super clean, and there was a 60+ year old man in my room, which made me quite uncomfortable.

'Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your feedback.
We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed our central location and that your overall experience with our team and facilities was positive. It's great to know you had fun and felt the value lived up to expectations!
That said, we're truly sorry to hear about your discomfort in the shared room and the cleanliness of the showers. Your comfort and safety are incredibly important to us. While our dorms are open to guests of all ages, we understand that everyone has different preferences and comfort levels when it comes to shared spaces. If you ever feel uneasy or encounter anything that affects your stay, our team is available 24/7 to help — whether that means exploring room alternatives (if available) or addressing any immediate concerns.
As for the showers, we’ve passed this along to our housekeeping team. Please note that we also have QR codes in every bathroom that guests can scan to request additional cleaning at any time — we want to make sure everything stays up to standard throughout your stay.
Thank you again for your honest feedback — it really helps us improve. We hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back again for a smoother, more comfortable experience.'

Great location and clean. The lights in the bathroom and shower are automatic and flick on if anyone in the nearby beds moves, as well as off constantly whilst you’re in them, so that’s the only annoyance worth mentioning.
