Absolutely awful. They have bed bugs. It’s dirty, loud, and overall awful. The location sucks, the staff are useless, and I would never recommend staying here to anyone who values quality of their stay. BED BUGS. And refused to refund me even after I checked out two days early.

This hostel is filthy. I think I caught bedbugs there. The staff doesn't respect you. These people were repairing their van that was under our only window in the middle of summer. A young man was using a welding machine until about 11 p.m. and the fumes coming out were literally suffocating us. That single night traumatized me, it's a nightmare and it's very expensive! Run away from this place, it's horrible.

Had an average sleep and the check in lady was really nice and friendly for how late in the night we checked in at. No bed bugs

Habitaciones diminutas, olían mal, paredes de papel que eschuchabas hasta los pasos y a rebosar de camas incómodas, casi ni se puede mover uno por la habitación y te llega incluso el aliento del de al lado durmiendo... Había chinches en mi cama, tuve que cambiar de hostal y no me devolvieron ni parte del dinero, solo un "I'm sorry" (más lo siento yo que sigo con las picadas y con 100 euros menos en mi cuenta). El personal educado, pero sin muchas ganas de trabajar. Se podría decir que es uno de los 3 peores hostales que he estado en mi vida, y he estado en hostales de 1 euro en la India...

I had my reservation cancelled last minute, on arrival day from.overseas,as I had complained a year before. The stocky manager just decided she did not want me and lied that she had banned me on my last visit. I had complained about bed bugs in my bed at night. No apology was given, I was simply moved to another room. Avoid this place.

I've used this hostel a few times over the past couple of years but I tend to avoid partly due to location but also because the showers are far away from the dorms and also tend to be unclean in the morning. People complain it's cold in the winter probably due to the building being old and poorly insulated. Anyway, on my last visit woke up with a bad case of bed bug bites, my body is red and sore all over with bites and I've had to use medicated body power to stop the itching. This is due to poor cleaning standards. Other hostels do it better. Much better!

Old-church Edinburgh hostel with a strong location and decent communal space, but the rooms are tight and the building can be noisy.
