10/10 Excellent
"It was my first time staying in a hostel, and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this property was. The pods were quite comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean. The restaurant in the front area was very good. The location was absolutely amazing! Located right on the Royal Mile in a quiet back corner. Would stay here again and recommend it to others!"
