Чудове розташування, але погана звукоізоляція.

Розташування просто супер. Персонал теж.

Звукоізоляція дверей номеру нульова. Було трохи брудно в номері. Не було навіть мила на умивальнику.

Good youth hostel if you don't have a large suitcase.

The location of this Youth hostel is a very good point. You can visit all of Edinburgh by foot if you want and can.

The space between beds in the room is not large enough. And I didn't like the system of cages to lock our stuff.

3 noites em Edimburgo

Está muito bem localizado e tem num restaurante e um café perto com descontos

Não tinha uma sala comum com cozinha, nem mesas, apenas um microondas junto a zona dos cacifos e um frigorífico minúsculo. Deveria ter uma pequena banca pelo menos para podermos lavar loiça e um frigorífico maior, também algumas mesas para quem quisesse comer no espaço comum. Para 4 beliches, tinha 4 cabides um para casa, mas nenhum sítio para deixar alguma coisa pendurada, como uma toalha por exemplo. No beliche não havia uma pequena estante para colocar nada, nem sequer o telemóvel. No chuveiro tb só tinha um pequeno cabide para pendurar algo, se fossemos vestidos para o banho não tínhamos onde deixar a roupa. Hóspedes extremamente barulhentos, não havia regras de silêncio.

Excelente para unos pocos días

Ubicación perfecta. Buena calefacción. Camas con cortinas para más privacidad. Personal amable

Las duchas son un poco incómodas y podría mejorar un poco la limpieza del baño

Nice stay for a good price with amazing location.

The location was amazing. In the city centre everything was close by and i did everything by walking. For this price it was really amazing.

Nothing really about the hostel but a few ladies in the room were quite loud in the evening. They were talking loudly to each other and also making loud phone calls when it was clearly written to please do that with earphones or outside of the room. Also when they were making ready to go out in the evening they were coming in and out of the room a lot, and with that loud and of a door that shuts close automatically it was really annoying hearing it open and shut like 20 times in 10 minutes every night while i was trying to sleep. Even the earplugs didn’t work for that. So i would recommend to or change the door lock to a quieter one or make sure the guests know the rules and ask them more clearly to keep in mind that they are not alone.

Great place to stay and central location

Great location and feel to it Staff were super helpful and welcoming

3 story bunk beds, no kitchen or cooking facilities or tv area Hand dryers outside rooms so noisy when people are drying their hands at 3am and 6am Unfortunately the girl in the dorm were bringing back men and arguing and switching on lights and playing guitar early hours when people trying to sleep but this is inconsiderate people and not the Hostal

Отлично разположение и съотношение цена/качество

Закуската беше в спортния бар непосредствено до хостела, което беше интересно разнообразие от обичайния начин за сервиране на закуска в хостелите, които съм посещавала преди. Имаше избор от различни продукти за закуска, но през различните дни не забелязах продуктите да се променят.

Нямаше шкафчета за багажа, както очаквах - пространството за багаж бяха метални кошници под леглага, за които трябва да си купиш (или носиш!) катинар, иначе няма голям смисъл от тях.

Thank you to all the staff for all the support and hospitality.

Closeness to the train station and city centre. Great value for money. Very clean place, freshness of the rooms, spotlessly clean bathrooms and toilets and comfortable bunk beds. Housekeepers doing a great job. Fabulous staff and great hospitality. Thank you very much. Will definitely be back again.

Sufficient for needs, helpful staff

Very clean and enough room.for myself in a shared space.

Had the top bunk (number 1 in B12) and it had a top which i hit my head one a few times. Other top bunks did not have The shower rooms had a lot of water pressure which made the whole room wet (also seemed counterproductive to save water) and the shower rooms really need mirrors please.

Great

The location was GREAT! The staff were super friendly and helpful and great value for money for the breakfast

The only thing that was a pain was participating in dry January and having the live music at Belushi's until 1am that sounded like it was in my room.. Though if I wasn't doing dry January I can imagine this would have been a lot of fun to join in on!! Great songs

Worst hotel stay in my life.

Description on your site mentioned room size as 193 sq.ft. But actually the room size was hardly 80 soft including room, bathroom, sitting area. One 5'x7" space. There was not a single inch space more than that. One has to enter on to the bed through a 1'6" vault door. One by one. The room was so small, which I never came across in my lifetime. It was a vault room in appearance. Very uncomfortable. In the sitting area (2'x8') space, there's a small table with an uncomfortable chair. The bathroom was kneat and clean. Bed and linens were clean, too. The room was very, very small. Most disturbing and disgusting was that one has to jump on the bed through a small opening. Booking. Com should have a mechanism to verify descriptions provided by the properties. Information should be factual. It's totally misleading. If I had known the room would be like this. I would not have booked it. It's a nightmare for us. It appears the property is a hostel, actually. Moreover, on your app, it was mentioned that breakfast is available at the property for £5.00 per person. But the hotel charged us £6.00 per person. So, the information given on your app was totally misleading. I have to think twice before booking any room through Booking.com in the future. Because, in recent times, twice, I have been subjected to hardship, most uncomfortable stay by Booking hotel room through Booking. Com. In April, the first time was in Darjeeling and now at Edinburgh.

The room, if one calls it a room. One has just jump on to the bed thra 1'6"x 5' door. It's only 5' wide and they have fitted a bed in that space. There's not a single inch extra space. And for getting down from bed was the same. Jump off one by one through that small opening.

good if you check in and out at the allocated times

location was very central. curtains, bed light and plugs in the bed

you have to pay to store your luggage (and have cash for it) before check in and after check out which is bizarre - it’s a service that should be included for guests. none of the usb plugs throughout the hostel worked that i tried, had to go and buy an adapter just cause of this hostel

Everything is nice for a solo traveler like me😊

It’s location…very near to everything

The colored hair receptionist (female)last October 7,2023 on morning shift is rude..I was trying to check in but just look at me and told her (male) colleague to attend on me..Atleast she could say she is busy but the attitude is so unprofessional (sorry but she really gives a bad vibes for a person going for a holiday) and thank u to her colleague who came to me

Nice bathroom good private beds with curtains

The bathrooms were cleaned mostly everyday day, the bed had curtains so a lot of privacy, each for a locker. Discounted drinks and food in bar downstairs

The bathrooms bins weren’t emptied and they got very gross! The people coming in and out of the room weren’t mindful at all and there should be more signs on being a bit quieter!! Also the dryer hand machine was constantly used and was extremely loud all hours of the day. Also lady who was vacuuming decided to vacuum at 6am and was aggressively slamming it against the wall.

Limpio, muy bien situado y con todo lo necesario.

Las habitaciones no estan nada mal. Las camas cuentan con una luz individual y enchufe para cargar el movil. Disponer de una cortina para tener intimidad esta muy bien, cosa que no hay en todos los hostales.
