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 #### 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 #### Divas Sep 10, 2024 Liked: Amenities Really good for a short stay ##### Divas Stayed 2 nights 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 #### 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 #### 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 #### 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 #### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Razak May 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very good thank you for all work in hostels ##### Razak Stayed 3 nights 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 ### 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret Mar 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities ........... ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Room with a view Set in a beautiful area of Haymarket, clearly signed, outdoor benches upon arrival for relaxing, garden outside behind hostel for quiet moments, large rooms with lockers and en-suite facilities.
