Stayed for a weekend visit in Edinburgh. A lovely little hostel at the south end of the Meadows. Off street parking in the area is available (with some luck/persistence) and are free of parking meter fees from 5.30 pm on Friday till Monday morning. The staff were very helpful and informative, the rooms and bath/toilet areas were very clean, and the kitchen facilities were superb. A very quiet and friendly hostel providing great value for money within a 10-15 minute walk of most of the city centre attractions.

good: location by the meadows, nice backyard (how wonderful it must be in summer), most of the staff very friendly, not so good: the beds, a very narrow room for four people, cleanness of the bathrooms

It was a good place to stay - though small details stopped it being outstanding- tv in room didn't work, nor rthe one in the kitchen/ sitting room. There was no bath plug - the skylight into the bathroom would not close - chilly. Small details perhaps , but took a bit of the edge off .

We booked a double room and had a lovely attic room on the top floor. In the room was a big double bed, bedside tables, a wardrobe, a chair and even a TV. Sharing bathrooms was not a problem as there were only two other rooms on our floor, and had a powerful shower and was totally clean everywhere. We didn't really make the most of the other facilities on offer, outside seating area, downstairs kitchen and communal living room, but it was a lovely cosey homely place that I'd recommend to anyone, whether you're a backpacker or not.

Decent but far from outstanding. Showers weren't working properly during our stay and the whole place is a little bit run-down although staff seems to be doing its best to keep it clean and friendly. Probably ok if your are used to youth hostels and are looking for a cheap stay in Edinburgh.

Although it's not right in the city centre, you get there crossing the Meadows in 5 minutes. Very advisable.

A building with great character (two old town houses joined internally). Quiet and comfortable, very relaxed with a little back garden to sit out in. The shower on the top floor was excellent (clean with a great big shower head and lots of hot water). A very enjoyable stay

Comfy, quirky rooms and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Big kitchens. However, one of the showers was very low power!
