シャワーがざん

施設自体は新しく清潔でシステマチック、スタッフも感じが良いので、「シャワー」さえ改善されれば1週間くらい泊まりたいと思いますが、このシャワーでは私は1泊が限界です。

We booked a double room but on arrival were given bunk beds. I think we should have been offered money back.

A nice hostel to visit and within walking distance of everywhere. We had a private ensuite, which made our stay great and the breakfast and cheap drinks were value for money.

Perfect Stay in the Heart of Edinburgh!

From start to finish, our experience here was absolutely wonderful. We booked an ensuite double room, and it was spotless, comfortable, and great value for money. The location couldn’t have been better, everything in both the Old Town and New Town was within easy walking distance, which made exploring Edinburgh so convenient. The staff were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast buffet was well worth it, with plenty of options to start the day right. My wife and I truly enjoyed every moment of our stay, everything was perfect. We wouldn’t hesitate to book here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh!

Super cool experience for a first time hostel stay with my family. Very nice! Wasn’t sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and welcoming this place was. We are staying again next week.

Accueil très sympathique. Chambre spacieuse et propre. Seul problème : le double vitrage ne ferme pas bien, donc la nuit a été bruyante . Dommage...
Peggy, 1-night trip

Clean. Friendly. Right on the heart of Edinburgh. Highly recommend.
Philip, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great spot right in the centre of old town. Buses and trains super close by which is convenient. Rooms are reasonably clean, but the chill zone needs a bit of TLC as it has an interesting smell. Shared showers are really clean for what I expected, a little small but for a hostel it's expected. Would stay here again
