Each room is quite small, basic and the floorboard creak loudly. The shared bathroom (between five) on each corridor is outdated and super basic. You will need to bring or hire towels and toiletries as they are not provided here. Good think is that there is a shared kitchen with fridge, so if you want to cook and eat on a budget or just have a cup of tea you can with ease, but walking down the corridor expect more creaking. In my room too, the window was open, which made it very cold and noisy during my stay as people talking in the courtyard and arriving early (late am) to check in were often inconsiderate of guests trying to sleep off an early AM return to sleep. On the up side it is fairly cheap most nights, but I would not pay more than £40 a night to stay here. Even at that point is overcharging aka a theft from your pockets. ##### Julian Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### me, Hamburg, Germany 3 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fringe in Edinburgh just awesome. Beautiful city.. Central hostal ##### me Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### SusieQ, UK 18 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Right in the centre of Edinburgh Student accommodation which is basic and can be noisy but is right at the centre of the action for the Festival. Single rooms only. ##### SusieQ Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ella, NZ 25 Jan 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location, everything else not so much I booked this hotel during the Edinburgh Fringe festival at very short notice (only booked my holiday 2 weeks before going) so it won on the price and the location front. Took about 2 minutes to walk from my room to the Royal Mile (via Hunter Square) which was fantastic, and a taxi ride back from literally any of the shows I went to see would cost less than 5 pounds (so cheap in comparison to taxis back home where a similar journey would cost you 3 times as much!) Onto the negatives... This facility operates as student accommodation for most of the year, so keep in mind that you are booking a private room in an apartment with shared bathroom/kitchen facilities. I was aware of this going in, but nothing could have prepared me for the stench in the living room, the crusted on "who knows what this is" on the oven/stove top, and the fact that every time I went to use the bathroom, it looked as though one of my "flatmates" had partaken in a pee party all over the bathroom floor. Pee everywhere, you almost could have opened a public swimming pool there was so much of it. The front desk staff would not send someone up to get it cleaned. The bed itself was like lying on a slab of concrete, with a very sad foam mattress. ##### Ella ### 6/10 Okay #### Erica, London 4 Sept 2016 #### Great location, bathroom wasn't too clean Stayed there for the bank holiday weekend, room was big and spacious (it had a funny smell though). The shared bathroom was cleaned only the first day of my stay, for the rest of the 2 days, no one cleaned it. Compared to the other hostel of this chain, I was a bit disappointed. ##### Erica ### 6/10 Okay #### claudia, Buenos Aires 3 Sept 2016 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Colchón incomodisimo! El colchón tenía una cubierta tan finita que sus resortes me lastimaron impidiéndome dormir la primera de las 4 noches y la solución fue darme un acolchado para disminuir la incomodidad, no cambiarme el colchón! No me avisaron que llevará mi propia toalla, hay que pagar 2 libras por una! Y sacarse uno mismo sus sábanas y dejarlas abajo antes de irse! ##### claudia ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 1 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Good location but noisy The hostel located in a good location, but very noisy as next to the pub Staff are very nice and helpful Facilities are basic but as it's a hostel, I don't expect too much ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Great location in the middle of the Fringe events Excellent location that was in the middle of old town right on the door step of all the different free fringe events. Staff were really friendly and I felt safe while traveling alone. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 31 Aug 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Pratique et abordable mais peu agréable Chambre en cité universitaire, confort minimal, faible isolation phonique la nuit, nombreux escaliers durs à monter. Tranche avec le charme d'Edinburgh, mais bien situé dans la vieille ville, à une rue du Royal Mile et environ 1 mile du chateau. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### PEI YING 31 Aug 2016 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### PEI YING ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 30 Aug 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Hostel within walking distance to the Royal Mile. Room was clean & staff nice. Location very central. If you have a problem with stairs or staying above a pub this place is not for you. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Davor, Zagreb 26 Aug 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Invest some money I had the worst polyester bed linen ever which nobody changed once in a whole week. It was actually an overpriced student dorm I would not recommend to anyone caring for a good night sleep. The only thing good about it is the location. ##### Davor ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 26 Aug 2016 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 24 Aug 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Shame Wasn't happy that the rooms were mixed, wasn't told that when I booked.

Its a shame as the location was ideal. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 18 Aug 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort Near from city center, which is good, quite loud neighborhood in the middle of the night though. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Village Hotel Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Edinburgh.h9131632.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Edinburgh Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Novotel-Edinburgh-Park.h1781324.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kimpton-Charlotte-Square-Hotel.h571654.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-Centre.h1088215.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh - Leith Waterfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-Leith-Waterfront.h519940.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Voco-Edinburgh-Royal-Terrace.h4895.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Edinburgh.h3516.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Edinburgh Central Queen Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Central-Queen-Street.h4924301.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Edinburgh Fountainbridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Moxy-Edinburgh-Fountainbridge.h64450784.Hotel-Information) > > [Tigerlily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Tigerlily.h1518105.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Edinburgh.h15710648.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Edinburgh The George by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-InterContinental-Edinburgh-The-George.h20436.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h15554.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Edinburgh-Haymarket by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Voco-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h52139644.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Edinburgh Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Edinburgh-Park.h13441598.Hotel-Information) > > [Britannia Hotel Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Britannia-Hotel-Edinburgh.h4533.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTEL Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-YOTEL-Edinburgh.h36667881.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh West End](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-West-End.h19288210.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-Airport.h520429.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-Airport.h84014.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Edinburgh Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Moxy-Edinburgh-Airport.h31718853.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-Airport.h31618511.Hotel-Information) > > [Malmaison Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Malmaison-Edinburgh.h664615.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Marriott-Hotel.h873944.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information)
