Fantastic City and hostel! Great place to meet others. Breakfast is v. good including vegemite for the Australian backpacker! Bit far from bus station however unlike hostels in old town down need to go up lots of steps to get there and is a direct walk. Near the shops for those who like to. Very accomadating and flexible staff :)

My only complaint was the crappy showers! The water is not warm enough and there is not enough pressure!!

There is a funky smell about the property and it changes as you walk about. Apart from that there are some awesome paint work on the walls which makes it more friendly and looks fun. The best thing about this hostel is the bar, its cheap and i have stayed here twice and on both occation people leave the clubs early to come to the hostel bar. Its great fun and an awesome atmosphere plus cheap drinks always help. Id reccommend Drunken Jenga!!!! Loads of giggles....

Incredible location. Lockers are great size, helped us feel all our luggage was safe. Great kitchen and cooking facilities. Clean. Perfect hostel experience, for a very low price. Would recommend to anyone staying in Edinburgh.

It was a mental mix of people in a comfortabley colourful (well-bared) hostel that was close to everything and well run!

Bar open until 5am. Good breakfast (for what it is). I didn't see Hostel Bookers promoted at the hotel - but then it could have been because I did not look!!!
