Traveller reviews

“Handy location for city centre and a stroll down to Leith harbour. Great staff and secure premises.”
02 Sep 2025
The hostel is just a few minutes from Princes street and around the corner from Calton hill, which gives great views of the area. Initially when I checked in, it seemed like I wasn't on the system, but eventually that was sorted. I was informed that I would need to change to another room on my last night, that really wasn't a problem. Just happy to have a stay, as the Fringe was happening and a big concert at Murrayfield ..... so it was busy in the town. The rooms were good and had its own toilet and shower.

“Amazing staff, great location, value for money”
01 Sep 2025
The location is spot on, easy walking distance to everything. It is great value for money, clean, and comfortable. All the staff on reception are amazing, so friendly and helpfull and suggested places to eat, and where to visit. Breakfast is an additional cost, there are two options a Scottish fry up or more basic cereal and toast at a reasonable cost. The lobby area is welcoming with plenty of comfy seating, free wifi, a bar, a restaurant. lounge area with sofas and tables, and a small library and tourist . luggage storage and there is a kitchen area in hte basement if you want to prepare your own food. There is a also a guest laundry which was out of order when we visited. The hostel is centrally located, and is easy to go out sightseeing. Close by are supermarket express shops, bars, restaurants, take aways, Greggs is opposite and there is Wetherspoons 5 minutes away. All in all, great value for money. Highly recommended.
