the location was very good for main sites and for a tour booking agency ... as the hostel offered no service with tours

It was very clean and tidy, not crowded at all and the layout made everything easy to find. It was also very quick and easy to check in and check out.

The location is brilliant for Fringe (as well as regular visits), the 5 quid breakfast is good value, the room was clean, the mobile phone recharging booth was a great idea. It would've been better is the self catering kitchen had a better range of pots and pans and perhaps an extra fridge (for a 600+ capacity there are 2 mini fridges...). Also, access to print from the web and use USB ports would have been better

clean rooms, cupboard for everyone in the room to put luggages, maybe access to internet is a little expensive for people who does not have a laptop computer, good hospitality, possibility to eat at the bar in the evening, good breakfast

The only thing I can complain about is its price, but 28 pounds per person is already a quite reasonale price during the festival. The room is spacious and clean. Shower gel and shampoo are provided for free; hair dryer can be borrowed with refundable deposit when you check in;. The Internet in the lobby is not free, though. Generally speaking, the facilities and services provided are simple but convenient enough for every tourist. Would recommand if you think the price is ok.

The hostel is close to all the good night life spots. The cafe and lounge is a very nice place to hang out. The rooms where clean and nicely furnished. Would definitely stay there again.

For those who go there as a couple, be careful, there are only 3 rooms with double beds, the others are room with four separate beds that you cannot bring together. I would say that it seems to be a great hostels for backpackers or for singles, but a bit too expensive for private rooms.
