Great spot for inexpensive traveling. Location is fairly central. Easy walking distance from most amenities in the city. Staff was helpful. Room was clean and organized.

The property was very nicely located for Murrayfield Stadium. Staff were super helpful and the rooms were relatively clean. Only thing I’d say is that I didn’t feel the kitchen was too clean so I wouldn’t be comfortable making food there.

Stayed for one night. Cheap and cheerful for what we needed. Other than the shower leaking all over the bathroom floor everything was fine. Bed was comfy and it’s a convenient location for the city and the Airlink/transport system

6/10 Good

The place was relatively clean but there was still quite a lot of filth. There was no toilet paper on the first day. The staff seemed lazy (scrolling phones on the sofa), the AI posters on the wall tells you everything about how much thought has been put into running the place. How lazy can you be not to have posters about Scotland and you AI slop instead. The beds were ok. Pillows were like potato sacks. There could have been a microwave and a kettle in the reception/common area. It seemed like they cared more about having a bar which no one used during our stay. The location was excellent and the rooms were decent, although there was some noice from other guests (which is understandable). The lockers worked well and were spacious.

6/10 Good

Bed was comfortable, lockers had enough space for my carry-on and backpack, and facilities were great. That being said, the location is pretty out of the way and the room was super overpriced relative to other hostels in the city center. We came a bit early to drop off our luggage before check-in and no one was at the front desk, so we called and got the hostel's AI on the phone. After about 30 minutes of trying to get a person on the line and explaining that no one was at the desk, it finally connected us only for the phone to start ringing in the other room which was also not staffed. Fortunately, someone heard it and came down to help us, but the "luggage storage" we were directed to was just a corner of the reception area which, again, had no one working in it to keep an eye on anyone's belongings. I wasn't too worried about someone coming in and stealing our stuff because I didn't have much to take, but it would have been extremely easy for anyone to just walk in and take someone's luggage. The place is also filled with these huge ugly AI generated pictures of (computer-garbled) famous quotes that really added to the uninviting atmosphere of the whole place and honestly made me more mad than anything else that happened there.

I stayed at Revolver for four days when I visited Edinburgh for the first time and the location was, in my opinion, the best thing about it. I booked a bed in a "premium" room, but upon arrival, the bunkbeds looked nothing like they did in the photos, and my bed had clean sheets on but there was a very dusty-looking decorational cushion on top of my pillow, which I didn't appreciate. There was a kitchen in the basement with a fridge, stove, etc. which I never stepped foot in and can't comment on. The showers never seemed to be cleaned the entire time I was there because the same towel and empty soap bottles were lying on the floor from the moment I arrived until I left four days later. The floor in my room was also quite dusty and dirty - never saw a cleaner during my stay. A nice plus was the vanity room with hair dryers, a hair straightener, good lighting and sinks. I received a key card for my room but almost never needed it because the door was barely ever closed, which felt a little unsafe. I probably wouldn't stay there again unless I booked a private room with its own bathroom since the location is fantastic.

Night view of the main entrance
Broken curtain hanger that leaves part of the bed uncovered
Three-layered bunk bed which is difficult to get onto the bed
Unnecessary cushion on the bed that customers usually put the cushion onto the floor rather than leaving it on the bed

I stayed here from September 25 and checked out Sept 26. The bed sheets seem did not changed. My arms, legs and hands have been bitten with bed bugs. I couldn't sleep for all night. I will have to throw out my clothes and see doctor when i get home in Canada. In order not affect other people during the night. I reported this incident early in the morning at 8am and show my arms and hands. I asked my refund but was rejected by reception. I would like to investigate and return my payment. Thanks

I was led to believe I had booked pods for 2 people. Upon check in we were given 1pod. Which is the same size as single pods with 2 pillows.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Definitely could’ve been cleaner, the bed was sloppily made and there was trash from the previous person left in our cubicle. The floors and the cubicle could noticeably use a vacuuming. That aside, the staff were wonderful and the building was quite nice. The location is good too.

Our lockers in the room didn’t work, so we had to sleep with one of our bags. The temperature of the room was unbearable to sleep in with no fans.

2/10 Poor

Cold room, bed bugs, only 1 shower, 1 toilet and 1 tiny sink for 12 people. Never hot water to shower (I stayed there for 5 nights and never had hot water). The only thing that worked was the Wifi. It was relatively clean as well, so thank you to the cleaners, but everything else was bad.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Late check-in fee of £5 (not clearly disclosed in booking process). Major works being carried out during stay (again not disclosed prior to booking). Bed bugs in the pods. Pod beds uncomfortable. Bathrooms/toilets filthy. Overpriced. Needless to say I shall not be returning.
