- “ The bad thing is the wifi, that just works at the reception and sometimes doesn't even work. But the staff is great and the rooms are good too. ”

- “ It is a very nice hostel, every evening there are things going on in the common area. It is particularly good for people who would like to hangout in the evening. it locates on a hill, so be prepared if you have a lot of luggage. ”

- “ Great hostel, staff were fantastic and awesome location. The hostel offers free pub crawls and walking tours of edinburgh which were great! There is also a cafe in the hostel with cheap meals which are good quality. Only downfall was in the 30 bed mixed dorm the lockers didnt actually lock.. even if you put a padlock on them they were still able to be opened by simply turning the handle. Other than that- great hostel and would recommend! ”

- “ Very nice staff, and all the activities were great. Just the lockers were kinda strange, even if you get a lock on it, it would still open. ”

- “ I had an excellent experience here! It was a very friendly and fun environment! They even had organized activities in the evening, like Movie Nights and Bar Crawls, to encourage the guests to meet each other and the staff. It was really a lot of fun! The only complaint I had was that you had to pay for the towels- not a lot, but I just don't think this is something you should have to pay for. ”
