Never book this ghetto

Very poor. Looks like a bombing site. I can believe you allowed such a slump be advertised as a habitable place. The owner was very rude and there was a gang hanging round.

I booked for a night but I didn't even bother to sleep in there and I wouldn't let my dog do so.

Lovely little hostel

In a great location and incredibly cosy. The owner is a legend, so friendly and keen to help out.

Kitchen didn’t have any cleaning supplies, but that’s an easy fix.

Short term stay is alright

Small house but cozy

Not greatly cleaned but manageable

8.0 / 10.0

Host is a very lovely man, and welcoming. It was worth the money.

I loved the fact that it had a kitchen and I was able to make something when I wanted.

8.0 / 10.0

Satisfied

Very clean, large kitchen, and the beds were comfortable. Had a very laid-back family-type atmosphere with a happy, friendly guy running it. It's about a half hour's bus ride from the city centre with bus stops right outside.

This is not a typical travellers' hostel, with young tourists coming and going etc. It's more of an old-fashioned dosshouse with only three other people staying there, which is actually okay if you just want somewhere to spend a night or two with no fuss. Like I say it was very clean and I was made to feel very welcome.

8.0 / 10.0

Amazing stay, everyone was so friendly and felt safe the entire time

The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you’ll need for cooking and space in fridge to put your food

Squeaky beds and duvet cover didn’t fit on duvet properly

8.0 / 10.0

Overall great experience and great value for money.

Really friendly and helpful staff, facilities were great (kitchen, shower, etc.). Beds nice and comfy. Location is fairly far from the city centre, but there is a bus stop directly outside the hostel so easy to access at all times (even late at night).

8.0 / 10.0

Give it a try

It's a great way to meet new people, great value for money, 2 shared bathrooms and a shared kitchen, roof top seating and a pub and takeaways literally 1 minute for the place and free parking

While walking around I think it is a slightly rough area

2.0 / 10.0

I do not recommend it.

The location was nice, but that was the only good thing about this hostel.

There were no wardrobes in the room, and below the hostel there was a bar where music played until the morning. Until around 5 a.m., people were still talking loudly, and everything could be heard. The price reflected it – the weakest hostel in Edinburgh.

9.0 / 10.0

Good location, nice and clean rooms, cooperative host!

The host communicated properly in advance my accommodation and was waiting for me. The room was very quiet. There is a large kitchen with all necessary equipment. The location is perfect - close to the Airport and the owner arranged for me a parking lot behind - very convenient. The bathroom was clean and very convenient as well - attached to the bedroom. I could relax very good.

Value for money

Everything is fine and value to money if you compare to other properties .

Its not their fault but bunk beds make noise and moves when there are two people up and down one will move other will wakeup . But overall its value to money

4.0 / 10.0

What I paid did not worth it

Outside parking found. Good communication with the host. She told me that if you are late the keys and mentioned the room

Towels were dirty. Tea facilities was not proper

8.0 / 10.0

Good value for the price and watch out not to lose your keys

It has everything you need such as towels, cookers, hair dryer etc. Transport is convenient to both Heriot-Watt University and city center. Several big supermarkets are within walking distance as well as a 24h convenient store. The kebab shop (Mr Shawarma) on the other side of the street is superb. The toilet and kitchen are quite clean and WiFi is good.

Sometimes the loud music from the pub downstairs would last until midnight. But it didn’t bother me too much bc I was very tired. Also it only happened for 2 nights out of my 6 nights stay. The door and the bed were a bit squeaky. Luckily my roommates were very nice and kept the noise at minimum.

Stay was enjoyable safe and comfy. Just the thing you need to rest your head.

Beds were very comfy

Perhaps having an ear plug dispenser for those guests who snore. Also there’s didn’t seem to be any normal instant coffee just decaf.

Great last minute stay

Very good place to stay. We booked last minute and were very happy with the room/facilities. Parking is available for free and owner is lovely!! Uber into city centre is not expensive either and 10 minute drive from airport.

Terrible never again

Worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in.

Share beds with strangers, 2 bathrooms for everyone to use, doesn’t match the description

8.0 / 10.0

Loved my roommates, manager was very nice.

It was a safe place to keep my things and room didn’t feel over crowded when full. Many bathrooms for use so that was really convenient! Many towels and bathmats available so I didn’t feel like I had to keep using the same ones/ I knew they’d always be clean.

Can’t think of any negatives.

7.0 / 10.0

Good

Clean, comfortable and nice staff - perfect for a short stay (we were there just one night).

Location was a bit far, but there's a bus directly to Princes St. The hostel is above a pub so can be a bit loud. To get to the entrance it's behind the pub and up the stairs - it was a bit unnerving arriving at night, I was glad I wasn't alone.

5.0 / 10.0

Could have get better options.

It's a good place to meet other people and make friends. And the staff is nice.

It's overpriced for what it is. And the bed are not stable if you're staying in the upper bed. No change of the bedsheets and no room cleaning during my five days there.
