This place is what you can expect of a hostel - basic. If all you need is a bed and perhaps somewhere to hang out for a bit in between whatever you're doing, this is a good place for you. The location is perfect, right off the Royal Mile and so close to everything you can visit. Join the pub... more

I needed a hostel at the last minute as one of my day trips was canceled, it was pouring rain, and I was soaked with nine hours to kill before my bus was scheduled to leave. From a block away, I booked a single room at this place for £25, walked over five minutes later, and was able to get... more

The hostel has both private rooms with a TV and a shared kitchen and toilet. The room and the kitchen were very clean and the beds comfortable. The same is true of the dormitory rooms in the main hostel. The location is perfect, right around the corner from the Royal Mile. There are shops and bars in the vicinity too.... more

If you're looking for a sociable environment this isn't it (we only briefly saw the other guests) but it is near nightlife and restaurants. The bed deserves comment for being so comfortable, the kitchen and bathroom were kept... more

Well I suppose I can't complain too much ! Got the nights sleep and made it out in "one piece" although when I saw my "dig's" I wasn't sure if that was going to be the case ! Took the single with "shared bathroom". Staff where good, helpful and friendly :) Location is excellent right on the Royal Mile in... more

It was a little rowdy in the public areas. There wasn't enough hot water for the showers and the bathroom almost filled with water while people tryed to shower and it was dirty. And the toilets would be out of toilet paper. The bed was comfortable and clean. There was some noise from a bar which didn't bother me but... more

We stayed in a twin private ensuite for 5 nights in May. Our room was in another building, so much of what is written about the dorms don't apply to the private rooms. The room itself was tiny, with two big beds (wider than the usual 80cm-90cm) and a 1x2m space over for bags etc. But it was sufficient for... more
