I did not see any evidence of the rooms, bed sheets or bathrooms being cleaned during my 4-night stay at all. The bathrooms were freezing cold as they had no heating. Also, the keycards for the front door and rooms did not work (despite keeping them away from mobile phones). Would definitely not stay here again - this has put me off booking other hostels in the future. Would not recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Pieter 27 Jan 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### You get what you pay for! If you're looking for a cheap stay and great location this is it. Do not expect good service, a clean bathroom or a clean bed. The laundry service is awful, did get done after the second time I asked for it, didn't fold it, just shoved everything into a bag. The hostel was so bad that I booked another stay even though I lost everything I payed at this hostel. This was by far the worst hostel I stayed in, in over 6 countries. ##### Pieter Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marcantonio 8 Jan 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### A hostel that looks like a homeless shelter. A very functional shelter like hostel that provides just the basics. The condition of the mattresses, duvets and pillows were poor (they were old and filthy)in rooms crammed with bunk beds (and an annoyingly loud bathroom door that kept banging loudly). The bathrooms faucets had not hot water but the showers were reasonably clean. The common area was restricted to the hours between 8am to 11m which was a bit of a drag. The only highlight of this hostel itself was the clean kitchen and the staff. Overall, not the best hostel I've been to in the UK! ##### Marcantonio Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan, Paso Robles, CA 13 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Exceptionally nice staff and decent conditions.

He cannot answer any enquires and handle any situation. All he can say is “Check in 2pm. Check in 2pm.... on and on ... Working as same as a Robot. There is no lift. If you have a suitcase, they would not be happy to help you....no humanity.. avoid except you are homeless tonight. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Adrian 11 Sept 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Disgusting place, avoid. Where do I even start. 1. Smells like mold and sweat. 2. No hot water in the showers 3. Nasty bathrooms 4. 3£ for a halfassed cereal/toast breakfast 5. Dirty beds/bed linen/towels 6. The cleaning staff really didn’t care about the cleanliness of the place. Very sloppy job of them. Overall I just felt really uncomfortable here since I had to shower in ice cold water and smell sweat and mold. Why even bother running a hostel if you’re not gonna do it properly? Tidiness shouldn’t be a luxury. I payed 40£ for 3 nights, the least I deserve is hot water and clean beds. Booked another place after the first night. ##### Adrian Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 25 Aug 2019 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 화장실이 불편했던 숙소 Haymarket역 근처에 있어서 에딘버러 유명 관광지까지 걸어서 20-30분 정도 거리에 위치해 있습니다. 3층침대 맨 밑칸을 사용했는데 간격이 낮아서 머리를 자주 박게 되었습니다. 3층침대가 6-7개 정도 한방에 있어서 합숙소 분위기가 납니다. 화장실은 남녀공용으로 층마다 있는데 부족하다고 느꼈습니다. 처음 들어간 샤워부스에서는 찬물만 나왔고 다음에 들어간 곳은 수압이 매우 약했습니다. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 2 Aug 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Just to let you know I’m contacting the better business bureau about this hostel and you Expedia for charging me for the 21 of July as there was not the accommodation we asked for and we had to go elsewhere and pay for another room because of your incompetence in relaying the message that we requested a room for 4 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 2 Aug 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities You Expedia for not passing on messages that we needed a room for 4 that night on Sunday and the Hostel was no help and we had to find another place next door that was clean and cool we were offered a mattress on the floor of the sweet box of the hostel no sheet no pillow no service not at all as advertised! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 31 Jul 2019 Thank you all staff for i stayed one night here .
