Liked: Good location, cheap, safe. Nice, pretty big room.

Disliked: Extremely loud banging doors wake you up anytime someone on your floor leaves, no large common area to meet other travelers. My window was broken and would not close (I wanted it open anyway, though).

05 August 2009 Elizabeth would recommend this property

Liked: This was perfect for me, as I was traveling alone and wanted a clean, nice, quiet place to rest, and it was perfect! I loved how i had furniture and a nice desk for my laptop computer, too. It was very comfortable, and so close to the Royal Mile and the center of town. I definitely would want to return here again.

05 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The cleanliness of the bedrooms was above expectations and even the bathroom's was acceptable. The hostel is located in a nice location near the Royal mIle which made it easy to discover the city, that's a real plus! Due to the private single rooms, it is rather easy to get to know further travellers.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Customer review

15 July 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This is a university residence re-purposed as a hostel in the summer. Rooms are private, with 6 in a group that shares 2 bathrooms and a large kitchen. Rooms were large and had a desk (with lots of power outlets) and a wardrobe and dresser. Hot water did not work in either of the bathrooms on my first morning, but was fine after that. Not a great place to meet other people because there's no common room for the whole place, just the ones for individual groups of rooms. Very comfortable, close to the Royal Mile and the train station, and great value for the money.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
