"Ni loco volvería"

2.0

Nada

Estaba muy sucio.. Dos baños con la ducha dentro, todo junto para unas 20 personas. Cuando querías ir al servicio había alguien duchándose y no podías entrar y si había cola te esperas. Baños completamente sucios y sábanas que olían a puerco. Me tocó en la habitación con una persona que de lo mucho que roncaba despertó a los muertos de todo Edimburgo. Horrible. No había limpieza ni de habitaciones ni de aseo. Ni un mínimo de limpieza de verdad. El personal del hostal inexistente, el precio muy alto para lo que era. Otro compañero de habitación borracho y haciendo ruidos sin parar. En fin, dos noches que estuve y una sin dormir ni 2 minutos. Por lo menos te dejaban las toallas, que es un puntazo pero daba asco meterse en las duchas realmente.

"Excellent accommodation for a short stay with friends (8 males)"

8.0

Perfect location & excellent accommodation exactly what needed for a day & night at the rugby at Murrayfield. Accommodation was very adequate and the pub downstairs had a great karaoke - lots of fun was had!

Was perfect for our needs as a group of 8 travelling together

"Perfect for the money and great location from the venue we needed. Everything we needed and paid for!"

10.0

Really comfortable bed for a hostel, Dougie was quick to respond and really helpful. The room bathroom had shower gel and soap. The pub was great to pop in for a drink on a night and great bus services locally.

Bathrooms could really be cleaner especially the communal one which we needed to use when our room was occupied. No hand soap, hair and I’m assuming pubic hair all over, dust and grime. Felt really horrible using that bathroom and shower and the guests in the main room were in the bathroom for a long period at a time. Pub was really loud until midnight at the weekend but managed to get to sleep after that. Wasn’t shown where to get towels but figured it out!
