Liked: Had a private double - big room that used to be a 14 person dorm but the staff had put an extra heater to warm the room up as it was so big. Thumbs up. Free tea and coffee.

Disliked: Brodies have another building across the road which we were in and the washing facilities there aren't too good. Four showers which is OK but only 1 pokey sink and nowhere to put down your stuff. Thankfully it wasn't busy. No sink in the room so the only one you can use is in the shower room or the toilet. Floor boards and bed frames are mega squeeky.

Liked: The location is excellent, but it is a little bit hard to find, it hides in the shops in royal mile. The double room which gave us is big, and the kichen is not bad.

Disliked: When you first visit this hostel, you should go to there by taxi, if not you may be never find it!!!! It is difficult to find.

Liked: Double room was clean and cosy, spacious enough, comfy bed, close to showers and toilets, good door locks, great view with window overlooking the Royal Mile.

Disliked: Only downside to the great location and view was the noise through the night of people walking down the High Street all through the early hours. Floor was also very creaky when other guests were going back and forth to the toilets.
