08 March 2010 Shelley would recommend this property
Liked: It is in a great location, just one street over from the royal mile, and the staff were nice. It feels a bit like staying in a college dorm. It has many kitchens, which made it a little hard to meet people. But there is a central dinning room and free walking tour and free pub crawl.

20 February 2010 Customer would recommend this property
Liked: The rooms were a decent size.The toilets were pretty disgusting in the mornings-more due to fellow travellers than lack of cleaning. The sheets/duvet covers are pretty old and worn.Its not up there with the best hostels I've stayed in but it's not the worst either. I didn't feel that it deserved a rating as high as it has.

Liked: I imagine it was a great place to meet people, but it was really way too loud. The quiet hours were not observed at all, and in our three nights there, we had trouble sleeping for each one of them. Definitely a "party hostel", so if that's what you're looking for, go ahead and have a great time. If not, maybe not the best bet, though it is a great deal.They jack the rates up a lot on weekends...but otherwise it's very cheap.Awesome staff too...extremely helpful in many ways.
