"My partner and I spent three nights here for the festival, and it's a clean student accommodation. The good thing is the reception is 24 hours, and the room is clean. Also, it's a walking distance to the most sightseeing spots in Edinburgh. However, the twin bed is difficult for two adults even though I am small. The window is not easy to open, so it's a bit warm in summer. There is no soundproofing in the room, so that you can hear a lot of noise from people slamming the doors all night and...

"The staff of the a&o are excellent. They are the reason why I gave this place a 5 star. For a hostel, it was also very clean and well taken care of. I appreciated the restaurant and bar that was on the ground level. It was a nice place to relax and wait for our room to be ready. It was minimal amenities and the front elevator was out, so we had to climb stairs or walk around to the back of the building for the other elevator. However, this was a small inconvenience. The location was great! We...

"Great location for city. Really terrible cheap mattress, you could feel every spring digging in your back or side. I feel sorry for the students staying at this uni. Everything else was good, but if you want to sleep well, go elsewhere. "

"Staff friendly, helpful and responsive. Room and facilities clean. Parking secure and convenient. Breakfast convenient and plentiful, great to have so many options, including traditional Scottish. Canteen style works for the setting. Rooms basic but as expected, as is the overall stay. Would stay here again for the value and practically. "

"It is not a Hotel, it is a Student Accomodation "

"The place is okay and conductive "

"The dorm and washrooms were clean. Staff was helpful and warm. Almost everyday there was a social event in the hostel. "

"One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. Period."

"This was the first Hostel I have ever stayed in and i was pleased with it. The staff was great which I was very thankful for after a long day of travel. Would definitely recommend."

"The room was tiny, but lovely & clean. The window was fantastic, so large, looking into a courtyard so it was very quiet. The bed was a bunk, my daughter & I shared the room. There could have been more clearance between the bottom & top bunk, it was very low. Overall, I would recommend & stay again if overnighting in Edinburgh."

"Set in a beautiful area of Haymarket, clearly signed, outdoor benches upon arrival for relaxing, garden outside behind hostel for quiet moments, large rooms with lockers and en-suite facilities. In-house bar serving multiple refreshments, kitchen facilities in basement for self catering, lounge area with large bay windows to watch the world passing.."

"Very good value for money "

"Pretty decent hostel. "

"I have stayed at this hostel many times but always before with other people-= so it was especially great to have a room to myself - with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The buffet breakfast was good and coffee was too .The last time i stayed the road outside was being converted for the tram lines-but now that the tram runs almost to the door from Waverley station and the airport it is excellent. The room was clean modern and a lot better than the hotel I stayed in for the rest...

"Very convenient, friendly and accommodating staff. Common areas and rooms clean. Bathrooms built in a way that might be hard to keep floors clean, recommend pool/shower shoes. Friday night brought an element of rough sleepers hanging by the entrance hoping to be buzzed in — not a big deal, but it’s necessary for the guests to maintain boundaries since staff is sometimes not present to help if a non-guest trying to work their way in."

"Very cool aesthetic, friendly staff and great location "

"Excellent location and friendly staff. Lounge area is a fun place to hang out and the kitchen is big and well-resourced."

"A great historical property which is not too far from the main roads. A converted church, so voices tend to carry. Great for solo travellers because you can get a room for one person. Bathrooms have all amenities, but could use a larger floor mat outside of shower, floors were a little slippery. Inside main quarters, beautiful stained glass and ceiling features. Front desk was very helpful. "

"Nice and clean room better than some hotels I’ve stayed in. No tv in rooms but ok for the price and bed was warm/comfortable "

"Very modern and spacious. Amazing location!"

"Great location! Friendly staff Clean rooms Classic place to stay walking distance to train and the Castle "

"Well appointed hotel conveniently located on the Royal Mile. "
