Location was perfect for the Fringe Festival. Staff were generally lovely. Good facilities.
The beds were not comfortable and the bathrooms were not always clean.
3.5 / 5.0
Die Lage: sehr gut, da sehr zentral, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt anzuschauen. Auch zum Busbahnhof günstig gelegen. Direkt in der Altstadt, nah an den Pubs.
Die Matratze für uns etwas zu weich. Die Duschen klein aber sauber.
Wir waren zu zweit und das Bett war gross genug.
Das Personal sehr freundlich.
Die Fenster ließen sich nur schwer bewegen. Alles, was man im Hostel angefasst hat (Türen, Tische) war schon irgendwie klebrig. Die Lautstärke auf den Gängen, aber dafür gibt es Ohrenstöpsel.

There were many bathrooms available even though they might have been on a different floor.
The room had lockers available for each guest, which is very convenient.
The hostel is in a very convenient location, right around the corner of Victoria st!

Staff go out of their way to help, they were amazing. Great hostel overall. Laundry machines really effective and easy to use. Perfect location.
Minor thing. I like the push button shower - turns off after a few mins - but did not like the floppy curtains as much.
4.5 / 5.0
Exceptional location and good facilities. The bar downstairs was fun with lots of event nights.
Staff members were a little under experienced, making check in/out confusing.

Bunk beds for older person could be an issue but to be fair you know that when booking up and down that ladder 3/4 times in night is tiresome. The price even booking late was very reasonable and to have a breakfast helpful for again a good price continental but good. Staff on reception and throughout building always helpful been before will return again. Had a late train back and was able to leave suitcase while went out exploring cost at writing £1.00 good value.
Must remember to get bottom bunk next time otherwise vgv.

Die Lage der Unterkunft ist sehr zentral und liegt direkt am Greyfriars Kirkyard und der Victoria street. Die geteilten Badezimmer waren sauber und das Frühstück in Ordnung.
Die Betten waren nicht sehr bequem und es war hellhörig.

Lo mejor, la ubicación y la relación calidad-precio. Estuvimos en una habitación privada de 2 y era bastante cómoda. Los baños compartidos (no hay privados) estaban bastante limpios

Boa localização, próximo dos pontos turísticos no centro da cidade
Cama desconfortável, quarto sujo, não tínhamos toalhas, as casas de banho e balneários não são limpos com a regularidade necessária e o pequeno-almoço era fraco

La ubicación y la atención que nos dieron antes de hacer check in, pudimos guardar nuestro equipaje en uno de los lockers
Las regaderas, no tienen un area donde podamos poner nuestros productos, ropa o celular, deberian tener una repisa, tuve que regresar al cuarto a dejar mi teléfono y dejar mis demás pertenencias al lado de un lavabo

Ottima posizione!camera ampia e comoda.Bagni sempre puliti.Molto comodo l’angolo cucina (spazio comune) dotato di micro e bollitore (portatevi dietro l’acqua per il
Bollitore sennò dovete riempirlo nei bagni,spezie e posate a disposizione).molto comoda anche la
Reception 24/24 (specie per chi come noi ha avuto un ritardo al volo di 18 ore)
Bagni freddi,troppo freddo che rendeva difficile farsi una doccia.colazione troppo misera conviene non farla in struttura ma nei locali poco lontani (soprattutto per Vegan e celiaci e spendi uguale)

Hostel rooms are nice and tidy
Bar is very nice and staff are friendly
Showers are clean
The double bed in the triple room is a bit tight for two people.
Also noises from the hallway are easily heard inside the room. If you sleep there on the weekend, prepare to wake up from other guests in the hallway at night.

Emplacement 10/10, juste derrière le château, les employés de ménage passent très souvent dans les sdb, les hambres sont propres et il y fait bon. Ambiance très sympa dans l'auberge de jeunesse, ils proposent tous les soirs des soirées à thème.
Il faisait froid dans notre sdb, et les pommeau de douche ne sont pas réglables.. Un problème pour les petites personnes. Le reste c'est parfait !

El hostel muy limpio, el personal fantástico, las duchas súper bien y las camas estaban hechas al llegar 👏 Además la ubicación es perfecta cerca de absolutamente todo. Mención especial a Albert, muy muy agradable!
No había cocina… creo que con esto debería tenerlo un hostel para que sea de 10👌 Otra pega es que el baño de hombres solo tenía un wc…

Top Lage und für britische Verhältnisse eine akzeptabler Preis.Was mich sehr erfreut hat, war das das Zimmer Ann sich (abgesehen von denn anderen Gästen) ruhig war.
Das Bett war "durchgelegen" und muss dringend erneuert werden. Die Duschen und die Toillette drei Türen weiter waren fast nicht beheizt.

Ambiente bem moderno e limpo, boas instalações. Bar e comidas do bar boas e bem servidas. Locker depois da estadia ajuda bastante tbm.
Só tive problemas que o banheiro apagava a luz sozinho durante o banho e tbm não tem controle da temperatura, estava 3 graus lá fora e como bate um ventinho no box tava mais morna a água do chuveiro

L’emplacement.
Grand casier de rangement dans les chambres
Auberge vétuste, la literie est inconfortable. Le nombre de sanitaires et douches pour les femmes insuffisant et dans un sale état. (Propre mais vétuste) Les portes coupes feu font un bruit monumentales, tout l’étage est réveillé à la moindre ouverture. Les fenêtres qui ferment à peine (je n’ose pas imaginer en plein hiver) mal insonorisée
3.5 / 5.0
Gute Lage, Freundliches Personal, Möglichkeiten um Sachen wegzuschließen, viele Aktionen in der Bar/Unterkunft
Die Sauberkeit lies manchmal etwas zu wünschen übrig.

The bed is not comfy and small, I am a 185cm guy and struggled to sleep.

The location was really good, the staff was friendly.
It wasn't that clean and the rooms were really noisy, too expensive for what you get tbh.
