Liked: Very clean and helpful staff. It didn't get very noisy and the location was very close to the city centre!

Disliked: We were required to give a 10 pounds deposit but it didn't state that anywhere on the site. The breakfast was also rather poor considering we paid 2 pounds for it; it was only some cereal and toast.

Liked: This was my first time staying at a hostel, i tend to book hotels, However i was travelling on a budget and i will definately book a hostel again. Obviously i had my concerns as you do when staying at a hotel. However the staff could not have been more helpful and the building was clean and tidy.

Disliked: It was a little far from the royal mile. However the hostel is on a main bus route and buses are very regular and cheap only £1.20 for a single journey no matter how far you travel!
