"Good"

4.0

Nothing not for me.

It’s quite loud as the hostel is literally next to a busy road. Had to park on an awkward space.

"Parfait pour un court séjour, parking et lignes de bus à foison."

8.0

Gérant très accueillant. Il m'a attendue jusqu'à une heure du matin (problème d'avion en retard) alors que le check-in ferme à 22 heures. Il suffit de le prévenir. Salle de bain dans la chambre. Parking (très important). On se gare très mal dans Edimbourg. Mini terrasse dont je n'ai pas pu profiter pour cause de météo mais existante. Emplacement facile à trouver et bien desservi par les bus, y compris pour l'aéroport.

Les ustensiles de cuisine. Les lits qui grincent et qui réveillent la chambrée au moindre mouvement, mais je comprends qu'il soit difficile de tout changer. D'autant plus qu'ils sont à peu près confortables. La cuisine sert de salon et comme il n'y a pas d'accueil permanent (c'est plein de boîtes à clés), la petite pièce d'entrée dans laquelle se trouve un comptoir pourrait être transformée en petit salon, ce qui éviterait de se coltiner la télé dans la cuisine (ou inversement...).

"Expérience mitigée mais globalement satisfaisante compte tenu de l'emplacement."

10.0

La disponibilité du gérant, vraiment gentil et joyeux, de l'auberge. Check-in limité à 22 heures mais il m'a attendue jusqu'à une heure du matin parce que l'avion avait du retard. Il suffisait juste de le prévenir. Chambre de six avec salle de bain en-suite propre. Tous les autres sanitaires dans le couloir sont très propres. Cuisine ouverte 24/24. Parking gratuit. La seule auberge proche du centre (très accessible aussi avec les bus) qui propose ce type de service. Inestimable dans mon cas.

Comme l'auberge est petite (trois chambres, toutes mixtes évidemment), le gérant est seul, il ne peut pas être là 24/24. Malheureusement, certains en profitent pour laisser la vaisselle sale, les bols de riz puants dans le micro-ondes et la vaisselle propre (rare) sur l'égouttoir, pas rangée. Micro-ondes moyennement propres et mieux vaut être grand pour les atteindre. Obligée d'aller acheter des allumettes à 7 heures du matin pour allumer la cuisinière à gaz. Ustensiles de cuisine vétustes mais utilisables (on ne demande pas le luxe non plus). La cuisine sert de salon avec télévision. Donc tout convive qui cuisine est forcément envahissant. Lampe individuelle manquante au-dessus des lits . Obligée d'utiliser la lumière du téléphone.

"Felice, ripeterei il soggiorno nello stesso posto"

Posizione ottima vicino ai servizi pubblici per il centro, atmosfera tranquilla e accogliente

Purtroppo non era molto pulita anche se si è fatto del proprio meglio, la pulizia era settimanale

"Satisfied"

8.0

Very clean, large kitchen, and the beds were comfortable. Had a very laid-back family-type atmosphere with a happy, friendly guy running it. It's about a half hour's bus ride from the city centre with bus stops right outside.

This is not a typical travellers' hostel, with young tourists coming and going etc. It's more of an old-fashioned dosshouse with only three other people staying there, which is actually okay if you just want somewhere to spend a night or two with no fuss. Like I say it was very clean and I was made to feel very welcome.

The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you’ll need for cooking and space in fridge to put your food

Squeaky beds and duvet cover didn’t fit on duvet properly
