Fine for a single night

It was the only place available in Edinburgh for a single night for £30, in a dorm of twelve beds. In other words, expensive. A drab place but the receptionist made it worth it.

Cramped rooms and small bunk beds that you can't even sit up in. I did not see any evidence of the rooms, bed sheets or bathrooms being cleaned during my 4-night stay at all. The bathrooms were freezing cold as they had no heating. Also, the keycards for the front door and rooms did not work (despite keeping them away from mobile phones). Would definitely not stay here again - this has put me off booking other hostels in the future. Would not recommend.

You get what you pay for!

If you're looking for a cheap stay and great location this is it. Do not expect good service, a clean bathroom or a clean bed. The laundry service is awful, did get done after the second time I asked for it, didn't fold it, just shoved everything into a bag. The hostel was so bad that I booked another stay even though I lost everything I payed at this hostel. This was by far the worst hostel I stayed in, in over 6 countries.

A hostel that looks like a homeless shelter.

A very functional shelter like hostel that provides just the basics. The condition of the mattresses, duvets and pillows were poor (they were old and filthy)in rooms crammed with bunk beds (and an annoyingly loud bathroom door that kept banging loudly). The bathrooms faucets had not hot water but the showers were reasonably clean. The common area was restricted to the hours between 8am to 11m which was a bit of a drag. The only highlight of this hostel itself was the clean kitchen and the staff. Overall, not the best hostel I've been to in the UK!

The manager was rude and aggressive. He cannot answer any enquires and handle any situation. All he can say is “Check in 2pm. Check in 2pm.... on and on ... Working as same as a Robot. There is no lift. If you have a suitcase, they would not be happy to help you....no humanity.. avoid except you are homeless tonight.

Disgusting place, avoid.

Where do I even start. 1. Smells like mold and sweat. 2. No hot water in the showers 3. Nasty bathrooms 4. 3£ for a halfassed cereal/toast breakfast 5. Dirty beds/bed linen/towels 6. The cleaning staff really didn’t care about the cleanliness of the place. Very sloppy job of them. Overall I just felt really uncomfortable here since I had to shower in ice cold water and smell sweat and mold. Why even bother running a hostel if you’re not gonna do it properly? Tidiness shouldn’t be a luxury. I payed 40£ for 3 nights, the least I deserve is hot water and clean beds. Booked another place after the first night.

화장실이 불편했던 숙소

Haymarket역 근처에 있어서 에딘버러 유명 관광지까지 걸어서 20-30분 정도 거리에 위치해 있습니다. 3층침대 맨 밑칸을 사용했는데 간격이 낮아서 머리를 자주 박게 되었습니다. 3층침대가 6-7개 정도 한방에 있어서 합숙소 분위기가 납니다. 화장실은 남녀공용으로 층마다 있는데 부족하다고 느꼈습니다. 처음 들어간 샤워부스에서는 찬물만 나왔고 다음에 들어간 곳은 수압이 매우 약했습니다.

Just to let you know I’m contacting the better business bureau about this hostel and you Expedia for charging me for the 21 of July as there was not the accommodation we asked for and we had to go elsewhere and pay for another room because of your incompetence in relaying the message that we requested a room for 4

You Expedia for not passing on messages that we needed a room for 4 that night on Sunday and the Hostel was no help and we had to find another place next door that was clean and cool we were offered a mattress on the floor of the sweet box of the hostel no sheet no pillow no service not at all as advertised!

The room smells bad. I know that it is a budget hostel and I am staying with other guests, but the management should do a routine check of the room to ensure the cleanliness of the rooms.

Kitchen &lounge too small, but serves a purpose

Very convenient, righ across the street from train station and all buses/trams to Airport and city. Small, but still very limited space for relaxing, not enough seats or table spaces to eat, bare. Very small kitchen, especially as people hanging round chatting (which should be able to!). Otherwise clean, up to date, convenient and served a purpose for a few hours sleep before flight

No contact

The hostel itself was as expected, small but completely as advertised. My concern is their lack of customer service. I was requested to pay upon arrival, which I did assuming their records may be more correct than my memory, however after checking my hotels.com account, I realised my memory was not deceiving me and I had already paid- being no big deal and an easy mistake I spoke to the reception and was told the manager would contact me the following day (after I had checked out). I was not contacted, have not received a refund and have now emailed twice and I haven't even received the decency of an email back. Very unprofessional, and quite frankly rude- if I wanted to pay double the price I wouldn't have gone to a Hostel.

The place has improved BUT they don't follow instructions re disabled guests as was put in the information about my disabilities with my booking and 10 foot high bunk beds faced me and power failure meant that I could not check in for 2 hours meaning that I could not GET A BOTTOM BUNK BED to help with my disabilities as the lower bunks were already taken and so a struggle climbing in and out and so a woman with a disability was forced to climb 5 feet into a bunk that wasn't
