Brilliant place to say. Only notes of complaints are that the bracket for holding the shower head up was broken. It was more an inconvenience than a problem. Also the shower drain never seems to be properly cleaned so the water doesn’t drain away quickly.

I couldn't get a refund for a booking I didn't use. Ended up booking a new one again. It's annoying

A great hostel for being central to everything in Edinburgh. Room was small but clean with basics for a stay, the bed were very uncomfortable as you could feel ever spring in them but for a few nights it was okay to bare. If you’re looking for a cheap stay this is a great location.
