09 July 2010 Aaron would recommend this property

Liked: Plenty of places to chill/hang out (bar, tv room, lounge). Great kitchen, free breakfast, wi-fi and keycard entry to the rooms. Lots of funky murals all around the hostel too. A couple of noisy pubs across the street but nothing out of the ordinary. It is a big hostel too so probably pretty hectic during mid summer and NYE.

20 June 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It's a really good hostel, there are so many things at our disposal for free (pool, computer with internet access, breakfast, games, ...) and I think it's the cheapest one in Edinburgh.The only thing which was a bit boring : I was in the 32 beds room, and it's not acoustically insulated (the trafic lasts all the night) and there are no shutters (this week the sunup was between 4 and 5am)...But it's just a detail!

12 June 2010 Nicholas would recommend this property

Liked: Amazing location, great artwork on the walls, roomy dorms with HIGH ceilings (this was great!), free wifi, awesome internet room, good kitchen, just about everything you need. SUPER helpful staff, very friendly and worked hard to ensure we got to the places we were going. A sink in the dorms would have been nice but you can't get everything. The price is AMAZINGLY low and makes up for any minor issues you might encounter. Only complaints: There was a scary old man sitting around in the kitchen making random noises (???). A 35-year old age cap would be nice because some older people looked a little out of place, but I guess they have to make money. Also, the noise from the bars outside/traffic got a little loud on some nights. We only had one night when there was a loud drunk person who kept talking but my gf told him to continue the conversation outside and he started whispering.All in all, best hostel so far.
