Customer reviewThe residents of the hostel mostly seem to be long term (working and living on the Royal Mile) but they are friendly and welcoming to the other residents who are only there for a night or a week. The rooms are a decent size, although the beds themselves aren't very comfortable. The breakfast was meager, but the staff was very nice and quick to help. |

Garth BrownGreat place for what you pay. Right in the heart of the city, good security (lockers available), very clean and comfortable. Seemed to have a lively atmosphere if you wanted to be a part of it - veryu welcoming- but not forced upon you if you wanted a quiter stay. bathrooms were small (2 showers for guys) which could be a problem if it was very crowded, but had no problem with it myself. would highly recomomend it. |

Emma OrrThe phrase - "you get what you pay for" springs to mind. It is fine for a quick stay, VERY small but does say this in the Ad. Full of long term aussies staying and working in Edinburgh. Felt a bit like their house really, bit off putting but all friendly enough.. Showers are good, bed was good, slept well even if I did have to share with a load of smelly boys!! |

Customer reviewFriendly atmosphere. I have to say it's a "typical" backpackers place, so there are lot's of young people (students). When I was there they behaved pretty civilized though. It made it easy to meet people to hang out with. |

Brooke HerringtonWow! What a good stay. Having just come from the Bus Station Hostel in the New Town, this was such a welcome change. The location is great just a few blocks down form the Royal Mile, tidy and the staff were friendly and there was plenty of information to be had about Edinburgh and Scotland. Free tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, and included in the price was a large storage locker in the room. Just really great. Go. |
