It's a great location with friendly staff that are helpful with any questions that you might have. The 2 bed rooms were smaller than expected and ours had a bad smell but the showers, toilets and kitchen were kept very clean. more

If you're not looking for a place for comfort, but rather just a small room to rest your aching feet after exploring the city (which by the way was really the highlight of our trip) this is definitely the place for you. Location is superb since its right smack in the middle of the Royal Mile. Won't say much about... more

This hostel is in a great location about a 10 min walk from Waverly train station, and literally just off the Royal Mile- so you can walk to all the attractions within minutes. There is also a great company called Haggis Adventures which does day tours to the highlands, a 10 second walk from the hostel- I would def reccomend... more

Ok so, you get what you pay for (or a little less than that...). High Street has an amazing location, right in town just a few steps away from the bars and everything - 5 min walk from the train station which was good as well. However , beware of steep, windy roads - definitly not easy with suitcases! People... more

Do not stay here! This hostel was awful. It was unclean with cockroaches in the kitchen. They didnt change the linen from one group of travellers to the next and the rooms were tiny and dirty. (oh and breakfast was stale). To top it all off we got bed bugs and the hostel shrunk all our clothes in the wash.... more

Great hostel, with suits of armour and decorative touches to give it character. I stayed in a Quad Room, which was clean and comfortable. There were lockers in each room, one per occupant, large enough to keep your handbag and valuable, but not large enough for your whole backpack. The room was mixed sex though. The bathrooms are also mixed... more

I stayed two times in this hostel: in 2001 and in 2007. Overall, this hostel is in an incredible position in Blackfriars Street, at the corner with the Royal Mile right into the centre of the Old Town. As far as position is concerned, it may well be the best hostel in world. Now to my first stay, in 2001.... more

If I ever visit Edinburgh again, I would definitely go to this hostel again: excellent location, friendly staff and a very good atmosphere. The mattresses are a little bit hard, but apart from that I would highly recommend this hostel. more

This hostel was in a great location for exploring the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. The hostel itself wasn't the cleanest place but the atmosphere was wonderful. The room we had was up 4 flights of stairs which was murder on the knees. Our twin room was so tiny we could stand in the room and touch both sides. The bathroom... more
