“ Really enjoyed staying here just wish it was a little closer to the old city. Also, the vibe was great, I was able to sleep at night because it never got loud and my room was next to the kitchen. Highly recommend if you don't mind walking our figuring out the bus system! ”

“ I LOVE THIS HOSTEL! Seriously, the attention to comfort and detail here made it extremely hard to leave at the end of my time. Being slightly (maybe 10 min walk) off the beaten path is an asset, the neighborhood is lovely (have breakfast at the King's Pantry!). I appreciate the "shoes off" policy - this is the first hostel without a noticeable foot smell issue - this place is amazingly clean! The beds are warm and the mattress is great. The wifi works really well in common and private spaces! ”

“ Nice hostel, good location: close to the big streets, but in a quiet neighboorhood. Shop in 2 minutes walk, railway station in 20 minutes walk (or 25) ”

“ Friendly staff, close to the Meadows and the University of Edinburgh, well-located right beside two good bus lines. Friendly environment and probably the cleanest hostel I have every stayed in. ”

“ Quiet street with easy access to anywhere you want to go in Edinburgh. My first hostel experience, I really enjoyed it. Laid-back and relaxing after being out at the festivals. Bright and airy, comfortable lounge, en suite's nice, but other bathing/toilets available, too. Kitchen a little small, but definitely workable. Friendly staff. ”

“ A bit far from the city centre, but you can still walk from there. Its a clean hostel with good facilities. It is the hostel with best kitchen among all palces i've stayed in this summers trip. You can easily cook anything by yourself. But they sometimes dont open the reception desk on time. ”
