"It's a youth hostel, so expect some loud kids, but beyond that it was a pleasant first glimpse into Edinburgh. Close enough to walk to the Royal Mile and by trams if not"

Located close to the tram line, which gave direct access to the airport. Staff were friendly & helpful. Didn’t use the amenities too much, but the kitchen area looked well stocked with equipment.

It was very easy to arrive, public transport is 2 min walking distance, facilities are good, mattress, linen and towels were clean and staff is friendly (just not the girl that speaks Spanish, she is a little bit rude).

Booked a room for one night for a family of six. Great with option of one room. You have to ask for towels. Three bunk beds. Toilet and shower separately. The mattress especially in the lower beds where a bit wore down. Only a small chair and three chairs. Couldn’t sit in the bottom beds.

Location was brilliant, 5 minute walk to central Edinburgh. Great transport links, buses and trams to get out and about at good value for money. Hostel was more than adequate for our needs with only one negative, being on a main road, it was noisy but not much can be done about that but will ask for room on other side next time i visit. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, service was good. With regards to food, we choose full breakfast which include both options making it expensive and given the two choices a little unfair as i personally would not require the cheaper option when selecting the cooked breakfast option. Maybe you could look at offering two options with one price for the selected rather than charging both prices just because someone prefers a cooked breakfast. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definately visit again and will also recommend to friends.

Nice Hotel. The Room was big enough. The Hotel Staff helped us. It´s only some meters to the City Center. The scottish breakfast was very nice.

I enjoy every time I use youth hostels in Scotland. They are affordable with nice and modern decor. The Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel was just what we needed for a weekend break, just minutes away from the city center, restaurants and shops. Plenty of parking and this is free on weekends. Staff were very nice and excellent customer service. Would definitely come back.

I have stayed at this hostel many times but always before with other people-= so it was especially great to have a room to myself - with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The buffet breakfast was good and coffee was too .The last time i stayed the road outside was being converted for the tram lines-but now that the tram runs almost to the door from Waverley station and the airport it is excellent. The room was clean modern and a lot better than the hotel I stayed in for the rest of my holiday near Loch Lomond. I will be back but for a longer stay next time
