We would definitely recommend this place to others and already have!!!! We stayed at approx 10 hostels along our travels and would have to say this one was the best. It is walking distance to the main areas of where you want to be, the hostel itself is clean and the staff are super friendly. The internet wasnt working when we were there so the guy at the front desk let us use his laptop at the owners house...that was so nice!!! There are 2 kitchens with everything you need to you can get groceries and cook meals...we saved alot of money doing this :O) There is Tv room to hang out in and laundry service. If you go to Edinburgh, you must stay here.

The location was great a short but beautiful walk into the city was great. I loved the staff, helpful and friendly beyond measure. I will stay here next time and direct all my traveling friends to this great place.

Nice & clean place, much emphasis put on keeping the place rather quiet. If you want a tidy, relaxed hostel for a nice stay with your girl/boyfriend you're in the right place. The party places are somewhere else.

building was very nice but very noisy because of the age of the wooden floors, you can hear everybody as soon as they put a step on the floor. the bed was very noisy too. check out at 10:30 is far too early. if you don't have enough time to clean the rooms between 12 and 2 then hire more staff, or organize it better. I know these check in/out times are becoming more popular, but as a customer it is a pain.
