Edinburgh stay
It was great!! My only issue was the location. I know it was really close to the Train station and was easy once I knew where it was but I was told it was directly opposite and it wasnt!!
I spent about 10 mins looking for it in the dark and was getting really worked up :( I had to ask for directions and only then found it was a minute down the road.
Why wouldnt I be told this when asking?? Being told its directly opposite when you have to walk down the hill slightly when coming out the station is quite misleading for people like me who have no idea where it is!!

Great convienent location right next to the train station and close to the Royal Mile along with a short walk all the other main attractions. Quiet rooms (bar some inconsiderate guests) and decent facilities. Staff were lovely and helpful.

Great facilities and location but with more popular hostels comes less tailored service. Some organised activities but lacked a friendly family quality. Still a great stay. 8/10 would recommend.

Extremely helpful and friendly front desk! Rooms were perfect, bathrooms / toilets were kept clean, excellent location close to everything (I didn't even have to take public transit!).
The only con is the common areas aren't big enough or nice enough given the number of people the hostel.

Great location, friendly staff, good selection of bunk/room options & optional breakfast.
Only 2 toilets/showers for many bunks. Clean from first glance, but dirty walls in bunks & bathroom floors.

A bed is divided into three layers, and three people can live on it,So each floor is very short, and people sitting on it can't seat up straight,we live together with men and women.
