The hotel was clean, the staff were kind and friendly, it was located in the city center, the bar was very cozy, and the breakfast was good. I would definitely stay here again. Behnaz from Danmark☺️

Location is as good as it gets, and the price was fair. The bathrooms were new and cleaned though the hostel has two online listings since it is split into two unconnected buildings on either side of the road. The Belushi part of the hostel has 0 common spaces and the common spaces in the original building where the main reception area is located are tiny. There is no kitchen of course and breakfast isn't included. Laundry was £4 per wash and £4 per dryer which is fair, though there are only two machines for each, and each cycle is in excess of 1 hour. The staff were friendly and professional though I wouldn't return again since this is more of a commercial hostel and frankly the interior is very drab and clinical. reception area a

Beware that there’s no kitchen but there’s a microwave. The chilling room for travelers is often crowded and small so if that not your thing, I don’t recommend. However, everything else was great.

I honestly love this place, cut through the train station, across the road and 2 min walk, perfect. The staff are always there for whatever you need. The breakfast might not be a hot one, but definitely worth the price, and the cartoons are hilarious - I’m a big kid at heart. I know hostels aren’t for everyone, but if ya’s are in a group, it’s a lot easier… Bar across the road serves breakfast and has awesome prices with the wee deal card. Apart from one other place I’ve found, this would be my choice!

I saw someone cleaning the toilets and showers every day which was nice to know was being done. Bottom bunk curtains only cover about half of the actual bunk, so they don't offer as much privacy as the middle and top bunks. Just something to be aware of. Bring your own lock for the lockers if you don't want to have to buy one from the front desk.

4.0 / 10.0

While excellent location and friendly staff, bathrooms were smelly, toilets often didn’t flesh, no garbages in them for women, no simple hook on the wall for belongings. No kitchen, only a mini fridge to accommodate the masses. The reception area was cute but that was about it. Expected a bit more for the price

6.0 / 10.0

The toilets barely worked. It’s a cheap option for a night or two but wouldn’t want to stay any longer. Just a place to rest your head at night, despite the bed being too hard for my taste. I spent most of my time sightseeing so I only needed the room late at night and early morning. Wish there was a better, private area to change

6.0 / 10.0

Nothing new, but I always check the bag and put on the lock while I go to the toilet, shower, or breakfast. Like I pick locks and unlock, repeat. However, the local travel is very good area for gardens, castles, shopping and museums.

6.0 / 10.0

The primary down side is that there is no noise curfew. Also not really a common space to hang out and the toilet and shower closets are quite cramped. Otherwise, super helpful staff and fantastic location. I was grateful for air-conditioning in the room. I would consider staying again when under 18's are at school.

For a hostel St Christophers is decent in terms of beds and facilities. My stay was okay-ish but would have been good if the people from the breakfast kitchen were friendlier and caring or possess some kind of customer service. I wasnt expecting a spectacular 5 star hotel service but at least have the decency to treat customers right. I woke up late and went down at 930am for the breakfast which I had paid extra for. There was hardly any food left - just a couple of bread slices, ham and cheese. I think they had more had I come down earlier. They also ran out of orange juice on the juice bar and asked if I could have some - the young lady answered in a slightly rude way saying they were closing in half an hour and they are not putting out any more. Come on, you advertise that breakfast is from 7am-10am, then at least have the decency to offer breakfast and not left overs and at least give me a glass of orange juice. goodness, I paid for it and not asking you to give me breakfast at the kindness of your heart. It was humiliating. Because of that, I did not even bother to go the next day though had already paid for it. Management should look into this and train their staff for customer service skills.

I stayed in the newer building do everything was very new and updated but that meant if i needed to speak to staff about anything, use the laundry or hang in the chill out room i had to walk across the street. Not much head space in the bunkbeds but they were stable. Lockers in room were convenient. Both dryers broken when i tried to do laundry. Easy walking distance from train and royal mile.

It probably worth the price. Poor mattress and pillow, constant in and out from people until almost midnight, craking bed. You must be ready for company, strangers from anywhere around you all the time. Located downtown so you are near of every touristic attractions in Edinburg. Additionnal fee for a towel (3£), padlock (4£), morning breakfast (5-6£) Small showers and toilets. (~1m2)

It was great!! My only issue was the location. I know it was really close to the Train station and was easy once I knew where it was but I was told it was directly opposite and it wasnt!! I spent about 10 mins looking for it in the dark and was getting really worked up :( I had to ask for directions and only then found it was a minute down the road. Why wouldnt I be told this when asking?? Being told its directly opposite when you have to walk down the hill slightly when coming out the station is quite misleading for people like me who have no idea where it is!!

This hostel is basic but clean and very central. There are not many showers and toilets for the number of guests but if you get up early or shower in the evening you can avoid queuing.

It's in the city center so most of the sightseeing places are in walking distance. Close to the Waverley train station. My room has two floor which gave good separation with 10 people in the room. Room was warm. My building did not have any break room, so I had to go out to the different building for water. Bed was clean, though height was too low to sit straight. Toilet was a bit smelly, but overall, okay.
