Friendly staff, clean facilities
27 May 2008
Really friendly staff, homely feel about the place. Good kitchen. Guitars and keyboards to play, TV and videos in lounge. Would look after bags for us. Really nice, laid back people running it.

calm, clean

I really enjoyed all the facilities - TV room, access to the internet and outside sitting in the garden. This was the best hostel I have been to so far, and I have been to a few!

We had a double room, and it had a nice big window, really comfortable, and the bathroom is a proper bathroom, with a tub. That's pretty nice. Our double was in a house a few doors down from the house containing the reception area.

The staff were very friendly! I also liked that they had community kitchens, which were a good place to both eat food and meet people.

The location is great, in summer you can either sit in the garden in this nice area or just walk 2 minutes and sit in the meadows. The staff is really nice and gives excellent advice on where to go! The hostel is very nicely decorated with big livingroom and kitchen, not one of those hostels which look like hospitals.Can't think of a better place to stay in edinburgh.

The location was brilliant, just a short walk to the royal mile and the room was lovely. Although it was small, it was very clean as were the bathrooms.

14 April 2008
The room was really pretty. and the bathroom was quite clean.
13 April 2008
Easy walk to the city, nice lounge and kitchen areas, clean, bright, but small rooms. The only negative thing was that reception closes at 10pm! Meaning it's not the best place to stay if you're on a short weekend trip on a flight arriving after you've done a days work.
13 April 2008
Location and private room was lovely - like a hotel.
11 April 2008
This is an excellent place if you're looking for a relaxing, quiet atmosphere that will make you feel at home. Definitely clean (they even changed our sheets after the first 3 nights), and the equipment was pretty amazing (both oven and microwave, TV in the room, towels provided, very good cutlery in the kitchen, little things like labels and boxes for your food, etc.). Also, crossing the Meadows every day to go into town was really nice in good weather - otherwise, there's a bus stop just around the corner. I would definitely recommend this hostel.
