They said they'd look after my bags but then got called away from the desk for 2 hours. I wasn't comfortable leaving my stuff unattended. Bathrooms and shower area was gender specific which was nice. My bed too and bottom was very creepy so everytime either myself or guy on the top bunk moved...it was very loud. There was no ventilation so we kept the window open which meant the screaming seagulls and alley arguments also woke me up. Staff were very friendly. I had been in another Hostel and had a much better experience on my stay. ##### Christine Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marco Aug 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect. Everything perfect for hostel. ##### Marco Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tommy Jun 1, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 2nd time i stay and rhe same like first time, other guests who stayed are very noisy on the corridors, also when they come inside the room or leaving, all of them totally careless. In yhe kitchen even there are signs , they don't follow, left light on, dirty crockery, as well inside the living room and inside the bathrooms. The last time i came Saturda31/05/25, i called in advanced i will check-in 10 pm, nobody at the reception, so i need to call the emergency number to go out to collect my key fob from nearby pub ##### Tommy Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lara Sep 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really enjoyed it and was pretty clean, however the showers were dark and the toilets didn't flush properly. ##### Lara Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Joanna Jun 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The shower can be improve, the toilets can be clear more regularly clogged toilet and sink is not good ##### Joanna Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Xiaoyan May 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities N/C ##### Xiaoyan Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin Sep 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hostel was in a great location and the price was great, however it took me by surprise that the 6 bed rooms were coed with both sexes. I did not like that fact, nor all the stairs that had to be climbed. Not the best option for older travelers. ##### Kevin Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### David Jul 13, 2024 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Vomit on the hall carpet. Dirty bathroom. Destroyed toilet seat. Its filthy clients poor behaviour ##### David Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica Jul 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service It was great although the toilets need some sort of fixing most of them were difficult to flush even with nothing in them. Just not enough preasure or something ##### Jessica Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Elsa Sep 6, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities if you were in rooms under maybe 15 you got to be on the bar side which is cool and has a secret garden. I was not, so just on the regular side. the lounge was good and social, but the kitchen was small and had no oven, just a couple of hot plates. the bathrooms felt like you needed jandals to use the showers but otherwise all good. the number they put up to call if you needed to drop off luggage didn't work until. you tried without the area code which locals might know but tourists didn't, but figured it out ##### Elsa Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Oct 8, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Fine for one night and only one night Didn’t expect much for the price beyond a place to sleep/eat/shower for a couple nights. The day I got there, 3 of the 4 toilets in the female restroom were clogged beyond use and the other had no toilet paper. This was early afternoon when staff were first alerted. The next day, all 4 toilets were completely clogged and could not be used at all. Staff were again informed of this. I had to leave early the next morning and they were still clogged. You literally could not use the toilets. The bed itself was fine, as well as the room. The common areas were not the cleanest, and the entire place could do with a good clean. Would not recommend for more than a single night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kingsmills Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Inverness-Hotels-Kingsmills-Hotel-Inverness.h536509.Hotel-Information) > > [Fraser Suites Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fraser-Suites-Edinburgh.h2278102.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Edinburgh Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Novotel-Edinburgh-Centre.h982662.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Grassmarket Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Grassmarket-Hotel.h62750.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h4270.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Glasgow](https://www.expedia.ca/Glasgow-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h894917.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Marriott-Hotel.h873944.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Aberdeen](https://www.expedia.ca/Aberdeen-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Aberdeen.h3744586.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h15554.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Edinburgh Carlton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hilton-Edinburgh-Carlton.h1648.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel One Edinburgh - Royal](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Motel-One-Edinburgh-Royal.h5333965.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-Centre.h1088215.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile – Hunter Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-Royal-Mile-Hunter-Square.h200875.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scotsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Scotsman-Hotel.h570820.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Edinburgh-Royal-Mile.h16281979.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Town Chambers, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Cheval-Old-Town-Chambers.h6175181.Hotel-Information) > > [Ten Hill Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ten-Hill-Place.h1535542.Hotel-Information) > > [Market Street Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Market-Street-Hotel.h29507352.Hotel-Information) > > [Ness Walk](https://www.expedia.ca/Inverness-Hotels-Ness-Walk.h29344961.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kimpton-Charlotte-Square-Hotel.h571654.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Edinburgh The George by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-InterContinental-Edinburgh-The-George.h20436.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Edinburgh Centre St Andrew Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Edinburgh-Centre-St-Andrew-Square.h7841147.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-South-Bridge-Royal-Mile.h6793484.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED Glasgow](https://www.expedia.ca/Glasgow-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Glasgow.h22384544.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Collection-Hotel.h2775480.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Blythswood Hotel & Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Glasgow-Hotels-Kimpton-Blythswood-Square-Hotel.h2705235.Hotel-Information)
