Was here for only one night but had sooo much fun. Lots of activities going on, staff were so lovely and friendly (vini and santi), very clean, breakfast options weren’t my favourite but would 10000% come back again and probably will

Perfect location, comfortable stay, lovely staff, included me in the most fun experience - Ceilidh dances. Big kitchen for keeping your food and cooking, complementary tea, loads of places to charge phone around the common areas. The only thing I didn't like was weird smell in some of the rooms.

all the staff were welcoming and helpful! the whole place was kept very clean, beds were sturdy and comfortable. bathrooms were all gender and had private stalls for everything, showers were good and had shelves and hooks which was awesome. location was impeccable right on the royal mile and made getting everywhere from the castle and train station to good pubs and restaurants very easy on foot. i would absolutely stay here again!

Endroit très sympathique et très bien situé. Nous n’avons pas utilisé la cuisine pour nos repas mais elle est très bien équipée et on sent un belnesprit de solidarité. A recommander!

I was slightly anxious, having never stayed in a shared dorm, but I had two fantastic night's at HSH. Comfortable, clean and a great location. Only two showers and toilets for the two dorm room on my floor, but there wasn't a problem and they were clean and showers, hot. I needn't have worried. My dorm mates were tidy and respectful. And no snoring, unless I did, which of course, is totally acceptable. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Amazing hostel that you will love, beds are okay at best, mats are worn in and beds are close together but the atmosphere and everything made up for it, thank you to the staff because they made everything so lovely

This hostel is great for someone who wants to be centrally located and have easy access to most of Edinburgh’s attractions. They also offer nightly activities so you can meet other travellers which is really nice. And they have a great breakfast deal for £4. The only thing I didn’t love was the fact that shower is entirely a wet space and so you have to end up getting change in a wet and humid space which can be uncomfortable.

The staff was very friendly and helpful and the location was perfect (5min walk from train station and in the middle of the old town). Bedrooms were okay, there were lockers which were really practical. The kitchen was a bit of a mess and it was rather hard to find cutlery and stuff.

Établissement très bien situé Le personnel est génial et très accueillant !! C’est propre même si la bâtisse est vieille et que cela donne un aspect un peu négligé c’est très propre ! Les douches de notre étage ont été refaite récemment, il y a tout ce qu’il faut ! Seul petit bémol nous avons trouvé qu’il y avait une drôle d’odeur dans toute l’auberge : la moquette ?

Although this hostel is well-located and clean with whimsical room decorations, I was a bit disappointed. I had booked for my friend and I so that we could be together in a four bedroom room. We were split up as aparently the booking configurations meant that it was not possible for us to be in the same room. Although this would not ordinarily be an issue, this was her first hostel experience and she was quite anxious. She had a weird guy in her room, and although both rooms were full on the fir...

This hostel is a unique vibe! Staff is lovely, very nice people The atmosphere is magical and the space is super cool! Rooms and bathrooms are very clean, position in the city is optimal. Only small note is that the beds seem small and bathrooms are small too but it really doesn’t matter compared to the rest. I loved this hostel so much, if you are travelling to Edinburgh you MUST book this place
