  good stay for nice price

  Liked: I had my own room, there was also a garden and common room and stuff was super nice! I loved to stay there. I also liked the bathroom.

  Disliked: My bed was a bit weird and I had some issues with getting into house after 5pm, but everyone was helpful. It is not in the city centre, but the locality is still so nice.

  Great place to stay

  Liked: Quite spacious, clean property and having a basic and mirror in room was great being female. Besides toilets and showers were exceptionally clean. Staff was friendly and best they have locker which helped me to put my luggage and explore city on last day before boarding train in evening.

  Disliked: Property is little far from city so couldn’t go in between for rest and then again walk back to royal mile for exploration. But it’s okay I left hostel in morning explored everything and return in late evening or night only.

  Liked: Awesome staff, very friendly. They were willing to keep our luggage after check out with no charge. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to make meals and refrigerate perishables. The location was great, very quick access to the city center.

  Disliked: A bit more expensive than other hostels but reasonable for the area.
