Liked: proximity to things, clean and new
Disliked: they MUST lower the temperature inside its ridiculous. I could barely sleep for being so hot and everyone in our room said the same. the heating must have been set at at least 30 degrees, it was really very uncomfortable.

Liked: Excellent location at the city center - airport buses and the Waverley rail road station are really nearby. The room was in my opinion clean enough, I guess. The bathroom was spacious.
Disliked: We had a private twin room: there was a bunk bed and it was so small that we couldn't really open both of our suitcases at the same time. The lamp of our bathroom didn't work at first. Room wasn't really cosy.

Family Holiday

Liked: It was in the city center.
Disliked: When we open the door to the room smelled very bad. The furniture was broken. The shower was next to the toilet bowl and when we showered it was all wet. There was a door next to our room every time someone passed, it gave a strong bang, that also happened during the night. The breakfast was not very good and we had to pay separately.

Liked: key card entry to rooms, nice reception area.
Disliked: wi-fi service wasn't much. It would be better if when you book the options show if you are booking into a co-ed room. Because it didn't say that and when i arrived I felt uncomfortable being in that situation. The price was terribly high for a hostel but it was in the middle of the fringe festival so I suppose that is to be expected.

20 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property
Liked: Location is handy to Royal Mile and to venues
Disliked: Considering the relatively high cost of the accommodation (during the festival) the cost of the breakfast SHOULD be included. The £4.95 is far too high when you are already paying a high amount per night. The shower cubicle floor is poorly designed and keeps large puddle of water at door rather than drain it away
