Positives: - good value for money - rooms are clean - staff is amazing - more than one kitchen which is a nice change Improvements: - not all the showers/hand dryers are working - the hostel shouldn't use the one washer/dryer that is available to guests for hostel laundry - does not have wi-fi

Simply the best hostel we've ever stayed in. Cheap, modern, clean, quiet, with a very nice and helpful staff. Very well situated too, we could visit the whole city by foot. Oh and the breakfast for only £2 is indeed a real deal. I'd definitely recommend this place to people who want to spend a few days in the beautiful city of Edinburgh.
