Customer review

01 January 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I liked the design of the place with the colourful murals on all the walls.The staff were really helpful with any requests that you may have. They're forthcoming with suggestions on places to eat or problems with checking in / out. Room is relatively spacious compared to the other hostels. The room is tall and a little wide. Room is well heated.There were lockers in the room to allow you to lock away your belongings safely.Just about any amenities that is required is either provided on available on rental so there were no worries about having missed a certain item.Kitchen facilities were decent. Same for shower facilities.

21 December 2009 fiona would recommend this property

Liked: great modern kitchen with heaps of space for everyone to make food, ovens stove kettles toasters knives and chopping boards - basically all you would need to cook most things. rooms were huge and bed lights and shelf was a plus. Staff were friendly and efficient, only downside was that there were a lot of serious long stay residents which spoil the traveller vibe a bit. Great location!

Liked: Situated in a very central position, not far from Edinburgh Castle and from the central station, this hostel offers good looking rooms at an absolutely fair price. I also appreciated Victoria's Street, a picturesque street very close to the hostel, where you can find several rare and particular shops. The staff is young and friendly.
