Check in was easy with the 2 staff members that I had touch points with being super friendly and helpful One downside was parking, the closest car park was Blu Radison From 5pm to 10am was £30 ##### Melvin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Sep 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stayed in a double room… it was excellent staff with friend and helpful staff. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jazz Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Stay Perfect location, spacious room, clean, hard beds lol, not so comfortable for me. Very loud at night, well the room we had which was right on the street. Staff was ok. They did their jobs and that's it. ##### Jazz Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica Jul 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The hosts were great! They swapped our room out for a lower level due to us underestimating the stairs and even helped us get one of our suitcases up the stairs. They were super friendly and helped us navigate the town! Good for a simple over night place to sleep. ##### Jessica Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### brenda Jul 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property was in a good location and the room was clean. ##### brenda Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Darci Sep 20, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort It did the job as a crash pad for a couple of nights. Not much sound insulation, room also had a very stale/dusty/damp smell when we first arrived and we couldn’t open the window to ventilate. Perfect location for everything we wanted. ##### Darci Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica Feb 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location and clean, well organized.

I wouldn’t have wanted to stay any longer because it was so noisy. We could hear everything from the street below all night long. Also a few security concerns given the key used to unlock the main shared door is the same key that opens the key to your bedroom. Theoretically anyone staying there has access to your room with their key. ##### Katie Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katharine Aug 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent stay! It’s right in the middle of everything. It’s clean and safe. I would stay here again, easily. ##### Katharine Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anastasia Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We needed a stay for one night in Edinburgh and it was perfect! We had a private room, which was spacious and the bed was very comfy! The amenities were updated and very nice. We shared a bathroom and kitchen with another private room. It was in the center of a lot of great spots. Good bars nearby and great shopping. Would definitely go back if we stay in Edinburgh again! ##### Anastasia ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marina Palomer Mar 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were amazed with the room and the apartment-like that we stayed in. Everything looked new, it was very clean and very silent. We stayed in a twin room and would definitely book it again. ##### Marina Palomer Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Helle Jun 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Really nice for a hostel. The location was great, close to the train and right in the middle of a very popular area of town. It felt very safe. The room was incredibly quiet at night. The place is very worn down though. ##### Helle Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Laura Jul 23, 2024 #### Great spot for the price. Our room was very sufficient. A fully equipped kitchen with a kettle and coffe and milk in the fridge. The beds were a bit uncomfortable but for the price it was perfect. Nice to see the street view from the window. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/467EAE6F9514258EB5E116F99FC213922E66B4621721725466339.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I would come back (for a short stay) Pros: excellent location, super clean, comfortable room, value for money. Cons: thin walls (can hear other guests speaking at normal level), lots of stairs if on third floor. With all that said, I would highly recommend for a short stay. ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa W Jul 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had the private room, which had a kitchen attached. Everything was spotlessly clean. The room was very cute and usable ##### Lisa W Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Heather Mar 1, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service So the location is fantastic being a couple of blocks from everything - the main train station, Edinburgh castle, and right on the royal mile. All of the private rooms are in a separate building without any communal facilities, which was a drag. Very clean. ##### Heather Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Eleven Stafford Street Townhouse](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-Eleven-Stafford-Street-Townhouse.h101526281.Hotel-Information) - [Malmaison Edinburgh City](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-Malmaison-Edinburgh-St-Andrews-Square.h38786208.Hotel-Information) - [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Royal Mile by IHG](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-Royal-Mile.h1897366.Hotel-Information) - [Badjao Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-Badjao-Bed-And-Breakfast.h18957907.Hotel-Information) - [East Claremont Guest House](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-East-Claremont-Guest-House.h83622757.Hotel-Information) - [Murrayfield Park Guest House](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-Murrayfield-Park-Guest-House.h6124303.Hotel-Information) - [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information) - [Intercontinental Edinburgh The George by IHG](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-InterContinental-Edinburgh-The-George.h20436.Hotel-Information) - [Martin's Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-Martins-Guesthouse.h4819113.Hotel-Information) - [Brewdog DogHouse Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-DogHouse-Edinburgh.h72942233.Hotel-Information) - [The Resident Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Resident-Edinburgh.h100619545.Hotel-Information) - [The Salisbury Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Salisbury-Hotel.h1857300.Hotel-Information) - [B+B Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-BB-Edinburgh.h888356.Hotel-Information) - [Moment George IV Bridge](https://www.expedia.com/Moment-George-IV-Bridge.h114415893.Hotel-Information) - [Abbotsford Guest House](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-Abbotsford-Guest-House.h5416322.Hotel-Information) - [Dorstan House](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dorstan-Guest-House.h6344033.Hotel-Information) - [100 Princes Street](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-100-Princes-Street.h74521691.Hotel-Information) - [Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Edinburgh.h115987.Hotel-Information) - [Culane House Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-Culane-House-Hotel.h6251354.Hotel-Information) - [Edinburgh Regency Guest House](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Regency-Guest-House.h2302027.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.com/Cheap-Flights-To-Edinburgh.d6069845.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Edinburgh Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh.d6069845.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.com/Car-Rentals-In-Edinburgh.d6069845.Car-Rental-Guide) - [Edinburgh Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Edinburgh-Vacation-Rentals.d6069845.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) - [Things to do in Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Edinburgh.d6069845.Travel-Guide-Activities)
