El Hostel está ubicado en un lugar excelente, el personal es amable y organizan giras por bares muy buenas. Lo negativo es que el baño estaba bastante sucio y se escucha todo lo que pasa afuera de la habitación y cada vez que la puerta de abre y se cierra. Igualmente volvería

Had a great time staying here. Lots of social events and perfectly located in the heart of Edinburgh so everything is walking distance. Lots of bathrooms available and all well maintained. My only suggestion would be that it would be nice if there was curtains on the beds to just give a little bit of privacy when sleeping. Great stay overall!

Would have loved to have a kitchen and access to a fridge but the staff solved that by letting us use the grassmarket-hostel’s facilities. The toilets on our floor didn’t flush sometimes. But the location is perfect, close to everything and the bar served good food and beer. All staff was really helpful and friendly:) And the rooms where clean and the beds comfy

James on reception is a star. He has impeccable customer service skills, and did everything he could to make our stay the best it could be. He was a wonderful friendly face, and very welcoming and chatty. Thank you James! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Très bonne auberge, personnel au top. Emplacement parfait et on se sent en sécurité. Le lieu était très propre. Seule point "négatif" il manque une cuisine.

Great hostel right at the bottom of Victoria Street so very central. Friendly and helpful staff, shoutout to Alex on the pub crawl! Stayed in a private room which was big and comfy beds, hairdryer, towels. Bathrooms were clean, common area was fun with free pool table and 10% off at the bar would deffo stay again if in Edinburgh
