8.0

Perfect for spending the night before an early flight out of Edinburgh. Arrive by bus or train, take the tram to the Hostel, (the tram passes right in front of the hostel and stops a little distance farther) then the following morning, take the same tram to the airport.

everything was fine. The kitchen and reception open only at 8am. No coffee if you depart earlier!

"It was a nice experience and it's worth what you pay for."

8.0

The location is excellent and the staff are helpful. The travellers are staying there like we are traveling in one group. Love it.

Some travellers don't wash their plates or kitchen utilities after use and left them on the work service. It makes us a bit hesitate to use the kitchen.

"Good hostel, overpriced but it is edinburgh"

8.0

The location is fab for using the train, its a very quite hostel and people seemed friendly

The showers were not the cleanest and the temperature did not stay the same at any point. Had to fill my waterbottle up in the bathoom sink which wasnt the easiest.

Está cerca de la parada de bus para ir al aeropuerto.

Es muy viejo, las camas suenan mucho, no hay enchufe al lado de la cama solo en un lado de la habitación.

A 15 minutes du centre

Tout Très sale. Autant la chambre ( 18 lits), les toilettes et douches, la cuisine, le coin réception, le hall d'entrée. Aucun entretien. Les draps pas changés. Le lit sale. Draps déchirés. Lits superposés sur 3 étages, pas stables. Si un des droits bouge un petit doigt, tout l'ensemble bouge. Un cauchemar. Sans parler du bruit. Autant dedans que dehors. Les portes qui claquent, 18 lits dans 20m2, imaginez comment dormir entre ceux qui bougent, qui écoutent de la musique, ceux qui ronflent, quand les lits sont à touche-touche Et dehors, Juste sous la fenêtre, il y a un pub !! 😫. Quand on est là pour dormir... Ben PAS possible !! Le coin cuisine (2m2) dégueulasse bien sûr. Ceux sont des étudiants qui font l'accueil de cet établissement, seulement 1 ou 2 à la fois, alors, comment bien entretenir et faire respecter un minimum de propreté ?? J'ai pourtant l'habitude d'aller dans des auberges. , toujours satisfaite, mais celle ci est un attrape nigaud. Une honte !
