On sunday nights someone cooks for everyone at the hostel. Nice way to meet people!

Staff was really okay, and location just couldn't be better. The only thing - the beds were just dirty, I was really happy I had my own blanket that I slept underneath. Also, it was a bit too loud - I didn't mind but my friend did. But it was so cheap and in such a good place that I think it was really worth it.

I did not like the property as architetural properties and the inner design...All the walls painted some terrible animal figures..I felt myself in the cave of Satanists...

In a nice central location. The beds are a little uncomfortable, and sqeaky, but all in all a good stay.

Alicia Murphy's (I hope I remember her name) murals. The hostel would have been great because of them, except that just about everything else conspires against the warm fuzzy feeling you get about the place because of them. The place is centrally located, but so are most other hostels, including one much nicer below this one. The price was good but nothing much was included and for the same price you could be staying at a nicer place.

If I went to Edinburgh, I'd definitely choose this hostel again. I mean the location and the stuff is great, the cleanliness is also good. There wasn't anything I could miss in a hostel and I've met many interesting people. What else could you possibly want for that value?

Really amusing decor and "themed" areas, cool tv den, free coffee/tea all day, multiple kitchens, and awesome location. Check out the great pub downstairs!

It was exactly as promised ; quite close to the station and a fun place to be in. The dorm was clean and the toilets also was ok (as expected of a dorm). there is kitchen to make some basic breakfast (yourself ofcourse). Staff were friendly and helpful. only draw back its on top of a building and u have only stairs to get there (74 to be exact)

Amazing artwork, it has to be said. Definitely fun and friendly staff who knew what they were talking about, and the hostel itself a complete warren that was quite fun to explore. TV room pretty cool. Useful to have the use of the kitchen too. Very enjoyable stay.
