    The worst hostel I've ever stayed in. If I could give zero stars, I would. The whole place smelled of cigarettes, it was dirty everywhere, alcohol and glasses on the floor. One girl told me to make sure I lock my valuables in the locker as people steal there. I only stayed there as I had nowhere else to go, from midnight, and left as soon as the sun came up. Please, spend a few more pounds and have a good night sleep somewhere else. Saving a few pounds is definitely not worth the stress of this whole experience. The only good thing of this whole place was the location.

    I booked a private room with 2 single beds online. Upon arriving I was told there were no private rooms left. Another couple were having the same issue. The only available room was a mixed 8 bed dorm. I asked if we could have a discount as we were promised one thing and given another, the worker refused and said he couldn’t give any discount despite the issue. As all other hostels were booked we had to stay in the mixed dorm. The worker did provide a personable tour of the facilities before showing us the room. The room smelled awful. There was garbage on the floor, it didn’t look like it had been cleaned in days. The bed sheets looked dirty. The bed was pretty comfortable. For the price the accommodation was as expected. £12 flat rate during the week and £14 during the weekend no matter what room type. Very close to city centre, pubs and night clubs. Not very good security. The front door was locked and we were given a key but all room doors were left unlocked throughout the night. There were lockers in the room but they did not lock (even with the lock I brought). If I was given the private accommodation I booked and payed for it would have been better. Facilities were not very clean at all.

    Clean, affordable. A place to lie your head, which is all you need in the end. Friendly staff. My only complaint would be that, even though I informed the receptionist I was leaving before 5:30am, I was assured he would be on duty "all night". On my departure, he was nowhere to be found, so I was forced to forfeit my key deposit. I was tempted to keep my key just to be a d***, but in the end, what good would it have done?

    Quite honestly one of my most dodgy hostel situations. I was traveling alone. I had been to Edinburgh once before so I wasn’t entirely estranged about places I wanted to visit. The staff was nice to me. But I ended up sharing a room with some people who came in and out of the room at odd hours of the night and some others who were forced out of the room by the staff. The smoke from people smoking outside the room reached the inside. I didn’t feel too safe all night. However that being said, the bunkhouse is ideal if you’re on a budget and not traveling alone. Perfect location since it’s close to the castle and is central to other tourist locations.

  3. Prateek Kakkar ★★★☆☆

    Sizes of the rooms are too small. Location is near castle (walking distance), but the entry is shady and goes through a dump place (stinky). Heater was not working in my room but owner took care of it by bringing in an oil heater. It's good for an overnight stay but not if you plan to stay for a prolonged period.

  1. Sean McKenzie ★★☆☆☆

    Mediocre cleanliness, saw a mouse and a fair number of insects, and there's a dude that's been staying here a year and was drunk and yelled at my wife when we stayed here. Beds are bad even by hostel standards, and the room never gets dark because there's a mirrored window into the hall. Great location, though, and the showers are oddly nice.
