The place felt safe and comfortable, and I truly appreciated their flexibility. ##### Sameern Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Divas Sep 10, 2024 Liked: Amenities Really good for a short stay ##### Divas Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### olga Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Stayed for 3 nights in the all-women room. Everything was clean, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. If I could suggest a few improvements, it would be to add some extra shelving in the bathroom, a full-length mirror, and shelving or a hanging area/locker space in the bedroom itself. ##### olga Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jordan Sep 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good place to stay on a budget, very friendly staff and clean rooms. ##### Jordan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Garth Nov 19, 2024 Very friendly staff nice area ##### Garth Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy excess to Edinburgh city centre ##### William Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ricky Feb 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing staff & brilliant location ##### Ricky Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Razak May 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Great hostel and friendly staff, thank you. ##### Razak Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ana Aug 8, 2024 One of the cleanest hostels I have been so far, just a half an hour walk from the old town. ##### Ana Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raidah Dec 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very comfotable and clean!!!

The manager, Lucas, was very helpful and welcoming, and I am sure that I'll be returning because I have tried nearly all budget accomodations in Edinburgh and find that this one offers the best value. Anyone who uses hostels knows that part of the experience is determined by the people who happen to be there as well, but at this place there is a very nice bar and a kitchen for guest use, so no need to spend all of your time in the room itself. The location is ideal: very close to the Leith walkway and the two Modern Art Galleries. If you are travelling light, it is possible to walk to the West End from Waverly, enjoying the beauty of Edinburgh all along the way! ##### Laurie Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mégan Jun 2, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The room wasn't like showed on the pictures, no lockers inside, not the cleanest too. But luckily the staff was very nice and accommodating. It also was really hot because the heating was broken so overall not the best. ##### Mégan Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ankit Jan 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was quite and clean and also spacious. ##### Ankit ### 8/10 Good #### Maarit Oct 16, 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### All good A decent hostel, I think for the price it was just as you would expect. Service in the reception/bar was great, I enjoyed my stay and I think the location was pretty good too. The beds are a bit flimsy, but overall I have no complaints. I would definitely recommend. ##### Maarit Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lily Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities The lack of communication I give them 2 out of 5, other than that the place was nice and clean. I have sent them an email requesting may I have for the lower bunk bed, but I Heardnothing back so I called them. They said they were gonna return my call but never did. communication bad ##### Lily Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mirela Sep 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I loved the area whee it was situated and the feeling of the building. The guy from the bar was very nice to check me in very late. ##### Mirela Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yakubu Jun 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Absolutely 💯 Got nice room.

In-house bar serving multiple refreshments, kitchen facilities in basement for self catering, lounge area with large bay windows to watch the world passing.. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mouna Jun 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Lockers for your bags under the bed would go a long way cause it’s not like there’s anywhere to put your bags on the floor either. Plus, the pillows weren’t actual pillows but rather pouches filled with something squishy and the sheet on my bed were ripped at the top. The staff tho are absolute angels, I would give each one of them a million out of ten if I could. So nice, so willing to help. Over all, you get what you pay for. For the price and the location, it wasn’t that bad overall. ##### Mouna Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hostel is great, one manager Sam is a very good manager, helpful, professional and friendly, the other manager is not good, not professional and should not be a manager or staff. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Travelodge Edinburgh Central Queen Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Central-Queen-Street.h4924301.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) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h4270.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Waverley Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Old-Waverley-Hotel.h24919.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) > > [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) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh West](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Edinburgh-West.h19218414.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [Market Street Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Market-Street-Hotel.h29507352.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) > > [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) > > [Eden Locke](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Eden-Locke.h17859332.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) > > [Holyrood Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holyrood-Aparthotel.h561406.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) > > [Apex Waterloo Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Waterloo-Place-Hotel.h2278092.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-City-Of-Edinburgh-Hotel.h800968.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Collection-Hotel.h2775480.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kimpton-Charlotte-Square-Hotel.h571654.Hotel-Information)
