Needed to cancel 5 of our 12 places due to drop outs, gave over 48 hours notice but the bloke behind the reception part is one of the rudest, ignorant person i have ever met. He weren't going to cancel for us but thankfully some strangers turned up needing a room so we gladly offered ours. If i had a... more

When my partner and i check in i noted that our room and bathroom (ensuite) had not been cleaned properly at all - the bathroom was filthy and the sheets were folded correctly but it was obvious they were not washed! We requested another room which they did not have, so she brought the cleaner to the room so sort... more

A big group of us booked to stay here during the Fringe Festival, booked well in advance of our arrival, and confirmed the booking more than once on the phone as the time of our arrival got closer. We arrived on the day, found the dirty dingy little kip, and were met with the news that they had no record... more

I have stayed in a lot of hostels in my time, all over Europe, and my partner in Africa, and this is by far the WORST HOSTEL we have ever come across. Apart from the appalling hygiene i.e. sheets had not been changed since the last occupants, dirty floors and toilet, stench of sewage and fish throughout building, there are... more

I've stayed in many hostels around the world and never experienced such a terrible stay as I did in this hostel in Edinburgh. We arrived late to find we had been booked into an all female dorm (there was a male travelling with us)! they told us to stay in there anyway! Very cramped room, big enough for 4 beds... more

The only good thing I can say is that it's a great location. Other than that there are no other good things to say. Very cramped rooms with no floor space to move. ONE toilet per floor( 30+ people per floor) and its with the shower so if your in a rush or desperate in the morning you need to... more

I booked the City centre guesthouse and hostel for a short break in Edinburgh recently. I had stayed in hostels before so I wasn’t expecting much. We checked in on a Friday morning and paid in full by credit card. On Saturday we went out in the evening and returned at 10pm to discover somebody else in our room. When... more

While the price and location were pretty good, the facilities themselves were only average at best. The room was OK, but the bathroom was less than desirable. Overall, however, for the price it was adequate. more
