Liked: Very friendly staff. SImple and nice, value for the money.

Disliked: When they say they have 'plenty' of showers, they really just mean two for each bathroom (female and male). Can be a bit hard to use the toilets and showers.

Liked: Its a terrific location, offers really great discount tours and has a great staff that is always willing and able to answer questions.

Disliked: The common room is tiny and is overrun by a long term group of people. There are only about 5 rooms and a tleast one is completely filled with long term occupants, people who live there. They are nice but stick to themselves and take over the common rooms making it uncomfortable for single travelers to hang out in the common space and meet others.

Disliked: one bed is too close to the door, basicly you cannot fall asleep before 00:30 on that bed because people go and come!

Liked: We loved our stay here. Staff was very friendly, beds were clean and comfortable and being right on the Royal Mile was excellent!

Disliked: It never actually gets quiet since you're on the Royal Mile. Have a few pints before bed and you'll sleep through the noise.

Liked: Sheets provided. Secluded to an extent, meaning not any outside traffic going through. Staff was extremely helpful suggesting places to eat and working with us and the airport when the airline misplaced my travel mate's bag.

Disliked: Luggage room was just an open closet, not locked.

Liked: the room was huge, the kitchen's also a nice place to hang around. and what i love the most is the location. it's easy to find, and even easier to get around.

Disliked: only 2 showers and two toilet. if you like to take a shower at night then that's not a big problem, but if you're the kind who take shower in the morning, that'll be a bit of a challenge for the queue.
