Liked: Great location and very clean! There's also a great bar in the basement with REALLY cheap food! Great value for your price! Great hostel, I would definitely recommend it!
Disliked: One drawback is there aren't any lockers with padlocks in the rooms, there are only lockers for rent on the ground floor. It would be nice to have had them in the rooms.

Liked: It has a very nice structure and facilities. Very Good location at old town.
Disliked: it's so big it almost doesn't feel like a hostel. It does have a nice atmosphere but it sure lacks character. I think it's probably a good idea for longer stays (nice facilities) but if I ever come back to edinburgh (i sure hope so, what a beautiful city) I may try someting smaller with more character.

Liked: The location is great!
Disliked: The lock in the toilet in my room is very problematic. I was locked inside the toilet once. There are no rubbish bins in the room, and no hand washing gel in the toilet. The cleaner never refill the empty washing gel box.
