I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this hostel. I stayed here for 6 nights and wish I would’ve stayed longer. The location was great! Close enough to the city center (easy walk or short bus trip) but also far enough to not feel like you’re in the middle of the city. The owners and staff are INCREDIBLE. Huge shoutout to Laura who is one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met in my life. Also was one of the cleanest hostels I’ve ever stayed at. 10/10. I already want to go back!

I loved the "ladies only" dorm, it made things easier. The industrial design is modern and fuss free, very relaxing. I've been looking forward to trying a pod for a while now, and I've not been disappointed. I'll stay again if I ever have to come back to Edinburgh.

I haven't been in the common areas but I can say that it is one of the best hostels I've ever been. The room was spacious, steady bunk beds with comfortable beds and large locker (the hostel gives you its key). The toilets were spotless. I guess it helps that the people who stayed in the hostel at the time were very clean and responsible. I was amazed by the shower - it had a curtain inside so it protected the towel and clothes hanging on the door. It was genious!
Great location near the station, cheap hostel but comfortable. Reception was 24/7 which was great because I had to leave early for my flight. There were hair dryers in the corridor.
Absolutely EVERYTHING! Best hostel I've ever stayed at hands down, would revisit again for sure! Great location, the hostel itself is clean, beautiful pods and nice bathrooms, the staff are awesome, and the general facilities were superb (I didn't realise that many hostels didn't have their own laundry facilities and/or were super pricy, this was like £6.50 for both washing and drying including detergent!). Can't recommend enough, thanks for the great stay! :-)
The hotels in Edinburgh are usually expensive during summer. But this hostel is cheap, it could be a good choice for travellers with little budget.
Prompt check in and streamlined departure. Liked the direct taxi booking service. We had stayed before so knew what to expect. Budget hotel so priced accordingly. Very basic but very clean. Great for a one night stay, suits young groups a bit like a youth hostel and older independent who don't require usual comforts. basic menu but ok one night. A certain ambience nevertheless
A budget backpackers on the edge of the city, it meets all expectations. The building is old and seen many travellers, but I wasn't expecting much more from the backpackers. The kitchen was spacious and had all that was needed. Bathrooms were as clean as would be expected for communal bathrooms. Area was safe and about a 20-30 minute walk from the Edinburgh sites.
Nothing, it was a cheap backpacker hostel rinsing us a family £330 and not even making two bunks beds up- I had to go back down at 11.45pm after arriving with my wife and kids. I liked nothing it was rubbish l, Hugely expensive, Noisy and not nfelt thoroughly Ripped off.
Great location, super friendly staff, lots of activities available, really great vibe to this hostel. They have a super cute kitchen area + lounge area and it is only two flights of stairs to reach the lobby/rooms. Oh and despite what I said below about what I didn't like, it was very cheap and cheerful and I would still go back!
Great lounge area, very comfortable to work and chill out. It's in a great location, and the let you leave your bags before and after check-in. Simple breakfast is available for 3 pounds which is much cheaper than other hostels in the country. I think there is a big group of volunteers living in the hostel, so the environment is very friendly and they keep everything very clean for hostels standards.
I’ve stayed in a few backpackers’ hostels around the world and this was by far the best. Great location, very clean, approachable staff and they really look after your safety, especially if you are female. They provide wonderful cooking facilities and affordable breakfast, as well as complimentary personal hygiene products. I couldn’t have asked for more.
