Liked: This is one of the best hostels i have ever stayed in. They let me check in at 11am which was great because I got to shower and have a rest after my flight. There are computers with fast internet access that you can use anytime for free. There is free breakfast from 6am-12pm which is absolutely great. I could not speak more highly of this place.

Disliked: Nothing to complain about

Liked: Several cool features: home cinema (the beanbag cinema), laundry room, bar inside the hostel, huge kitchen area, many bathrooms, great wall decoration.

Disliked: Many large groups of people that tend to be very loud. Overall, not a very friendly or cozy place. Not very clean kitchen.

14 October 2010 Michele would recommend this property

Liked: It's very friendly and artsy - every surface was painted a bright color, and every thing was obviously well taken care of. The bathrooms were SO CLEAN and the showers were hot and wonderful. The staff was extremely helpful, even after I asked a million questions. It's in a very well-lit and safe area of the city - you can see the castle from the front door. Great access to bus stops (even though you can walk everywhere), restaurants, shops - The Grass Market. Really the best place you can stay in Edinburgh - and a wonderful free breakfast!!

Disliked: Michele left no negative feedback.
