Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel

It's a youth hostel! However, for £66 a night for a double room I expected more, a TV in my room, a kettle, a double bed without a bunk bed on top of it, carpet on the floor, and breakfast included.

I had a private room at the hostel. The room was very basic, which is fine, but the biggest issue was the drains in the bathroom. The shower drain did not flow and I had to turn the shower off for shampooing to avoid water flowing out of the shower room. The water stayed on the floor for most of the night. Also, the bed was very small, which was fine by me (I'm 5'2"), but a taller person might struggle. The floors were also not very clean. It felt like a stripped down version of a school dorm room, so even for a hostel it was a bit bare. Location and staff were great however!

Shopping centres , eating places in the nearby vicinity, staff with readiness to help. Happy stay. Enjoyed the stay in short.

Disappointed with my choice of hotel. Better suited to younger people which I should have known!

Basic rooms but Overall clean and well presented, Staff excellent and well mannered, couldn't have asked for better service. However blinds didn't close properly in room and outside traffic very noisy when trying to sleep, but as it is Edinburgh this was expected. Hostel close to all amenities and just a short walk from the play house, and a half hour walk or 5 mins in taxi to botanic gardens. Recommend this location if you are looking for a cheap, basic room, which is clean and central to surrounding attractions.

Generally good standard. Overheated, but lots of traffic noise if you open windows. Unusual that taps in room don't provide drinkable water.

Needed somewhere to stay for one night and booked here for myself, daughter and grandson. It's about 15 minutes walk from the railway station. Room very clean but small. Had been led to believe we would have a room with three single beds but were given bunk beds and one single bed. Not much space for three people to move around and nowhere to sit except on the beds. Thought it was expensive for what we got especially as breakfast was not included. But area was nice and plenty places to eat nearby.

Ok hostel, central, but definitely a little overpriced​ for what you get. The shower was very tight and awkward and there is not enough room for 6 people to stay comfortably.

In terms of cleanliness the room and beds were fine, as were the toilet compartiment. The shower thing was disgusting though, flooding and dirty. Wifi was very very slow, and there were no plugs for the top beds. Employees were friendly.

It shouldn't be advertised as a hotel since it a hostel. We slept in a room that was supposed to be double but had bunkbeds, not comfortable at all. On top of that they did not provide towels, even a 1 star hotel gives towels, they charged quite a lot for a night, very expensive for the quality of service
