Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Great location, plenty of dining choices and close to tours and walking distance to the Edinburgh Castle. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Great activities to meet others. The room was too small for 2 people, outside noise all night (not within the accommodation building). There is no quiet space to go to and the common area is a restaurant. Worst hot chocolate I have ever had and I have them a lot.
First it was a hostel bed and I was even kept in the up bunk. The room wasn’t ready until 3:45pm and still wasn’t clean.
I couldn’t sleep there had to look for somewhere else to sleep only came back this morning cos I forgot my charger head. It the worst hotel experience I have ever had

Liked: Staff & service
The room smelled like wet and the restroom are not throughly clean. The male still came in without acknowledging themselves in the women restroom. The staff downstair were helpful and caring!
Legit built out of an old prison so so cool in there! The staff was so helpful and the coffee and restaurant was yummy! Also. . . You really can’t beat the location. Right behind st Giles? Come on
The staff is fantastic. The bunk beds are comfy & clean. They have daily activities in the common room (beer & whiskey tastings). The hostel is in the middle of many important historical sites. Right on the Royal Mile & close to Edinburgh Castle.
This hostel couldn’t be in a more perfect location for exploring Edinburgh’s Old Town. The staff were incredibly friendly and personable. The Court room is great if you’re looking for affordable sleeping space and don’t mind sharing space with other visitors.
This hostel hotel was so inviting fun and clean… It was also very safe… Love the options of food and drinks right in the lobby and everyone was so kind and nice
