"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. "

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

"The place is okay and conductive "

"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 "

"Great location"

"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."

"Pretty decent hostel. "

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

"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 "

"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...

"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. "

"Helpful Manager"

"I loved the ambiance of this place. It was in a convenient spot as it was only 5 min walk from many of our tour meeting spots and sights we wanted to see. Check-in was a breeze, staff was friendly and let us store our luggage. Only negative was the size of our private 4 bed room. It was the smallest hostel room I had ever stayed in. Very little space to open our suitcases "

"Although i wasnt well acquainted with the staff as I tend to keep to myself, they were very accommodating and helpful. "

"Brilliant idea letting out students rooms at the summer break, beautiful settings and loads of amenities locally. The “Scran”restaurant brilliant,tasty food and great staff and prices. There is a shop and a chemist on grounds. Scenery beautiful.rooms basic and comfortable.communal area for making lunch,tea etc My only criticism would be maybe too basic rooms,no hand towels or anywhere to put your shampoo etc in shower. Nice and peaceful accommodation I’ll be back time and again. The reception...

"Great size room. Quiet. Staff were lovely (no matter what time of the day - even with jetlag)"

"Nice place and location"
