Positive Reviews

positive:

Award Winning Staff.

The staff is very friendly, informative, and helpful. They provide fantastic suggestions of things to do in the vicinity.

positive:

The Location Tops The Cake.

The hostel location is directly off the Royal mile with many attractions, different foods, and shopping.

positive:

The Layout Works.

The communal kitchen is a huge area and works perfectly. It's really needed, as the area residents are very expensive. Overall, it's good value for money. The WI-Fi is decent too.

Negative Reviews

negative:

Part Of The Bed Is Missing.

The bed is a bit on the uncomfortable side. The mattress is too thin. It feels like a piece of mattress foam.

negative:

Getting To The Bathroom On Time.

Getting To The Bathroom On Time There is only three toilets and three showers for each floor that everyone can use. An extra bathroom would be great or an en suite. It's a problem if the hostel is crowded.

negative:

Rooms Can Feel Cramped.

You have heard the term "three is a crowd," well, what about six! Sharing a space with strangers can be difficult enough; however, it is a hostel and you should expect some bizarre situations.
