I would recommend this place to everyone. The only thing to complain about was the price was a little high for a hostel but everywhere in Edinburgh is expensive to stay. ##### Erik Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anja Aug 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice Hotel. The Room was big enough. The Hotel Staff helped us. It´s only some meters to the City Center. The scottish breakfast was very nice. ##### Anja Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Dec 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfy and basic Beds were comfy and rooms were clean, perfect for a one night stay if you're not looking for any too fancy. Communal areas were comfortable too and they have a room with a ping-pong table etc. ##### Catherine Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yan Jun 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I enjoy every time I use youth hostels in Scotland. They are affordable with nice and modern decor. The Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel was just what we needed for a weekend break, just minutes away from the city center, restaurants and shops. Plenty of parking and this is free on weekends. Staff were very nice and excellent customer service. Would definitely come back. ##### Yan Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gillian Jul 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Just the job Just needed a clean, safe room for the night - met three other ladies, nice chat.

But the free Wi-Fi connection was terrible, on and off. The speed without Wi-Fi was also slow for some reason, in the lobby and in our room. ##### Shufen Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Nov 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Clean enough . Very loud doors when they shut so kept up by loud neighbours at times . Could do with a bit of renovation. Overall was alright place. Bed comfortable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann Apr 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### better than a hotel I stayed in I have stayed at this hostel many times but always before with other people-= so it was especially great to have a room to myself - with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The buffet breakfast was good and coffee was too .The last time i stayed the road outside was being converted for the tram lines-but now that the tram runs almost to the door from Waverley station and the airport it is excellent. The room was clean modern and a lot better than the hotel I stayed in for the rest of my holiday near Loch Lomond. I will be back but for a longer stay next time ##### Ann Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Christina Oct 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Booked a room for one night for a family of six. Great with option of one room. You have to ask for towels. Three bunk beds. Toilet and shower separately. The mattress especially in the lower beds where a bit wore down. Only a small chair and three chairs. Couldn’t sit in the bottom beds. ##### Christina Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Wendy Aug 29, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location was brilliant, 5 minute walk to central Edinburgh. Great transport links, buses and trams to get out and about at good value for money. Hostel was more than adequate for our needs with only one negative, being on a main road, it was noisy but not much can be done about that but will ask for room on other side next time i visit. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, service was good. With regards to food, we choose full breakfast which include both options making it expensive and given the two choices a little unfair as i personally would not require the cheaper option when selecting the cooked breakfast option. Maybe you could look at offering two options with one price for the selected rather than charging both prices just because someone prefers a cooked breakfast. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definately visit again and will also recommend to friends. ##### Wendy Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Jul 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location.
