I absolutely loved staying here! The location was fantastic, whether I wanted to explore the city centre or venture out to the outer areas of the city. Everything was within walking distance, including the station, which was right here. The staff were so helpful and friendly, and I really appreciated the housekeeping and laundry services, which made my stay even more comfortable. The terrace was a great place to relax and unwind, and the shared kitchen and dining areas were perfect for preparing meals and meeting other guests. I especially loved the leisure garden area and the free Wi-Fi in public areas.
I would highly recommend this place to my friends.

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The location is unbeatable. It is literally right across from the tram station, making it incredibly convenient for transport to and from the airport. The hostel is also close to the main attractions, and it only takes 10 minutes to walk into the city center. The window views from the rooms are fantastic, giving you a great sense of the city's beauty. The cleanliness of the hostel was impeccable, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made me feel welcome throughout my stay.

My recent stay at The Hostel in Edinburgh was a pleasant experience. The staff were friendly and the value for money was great. The location was convenient, just a short walk to the bus station or a quick tram ride away. Despite some minor inconveniences, I would recommend this hostel, especially for short stays.

I had a great stay at this hostel in Edinburgh. The location was fantastic, right at Haymarket station, which made it easy to get around the city. I loved how close it was to the castle, and the Haymarket train station was just a short walk away. The room was comfortable, and the bathroom was fairly clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The simple breakfast option for £2 was a nice bonus, and the equipped kitchen was convenient. it was a good experience.
The lack of functioning hot water in some of the showers was a disappointment.

Well-located for sightseeing and work activities. Spacious, clean room with comfy bed. Quiet and good quality sleep. WiFi and TV channels worked well. 25% discount on food in nearby restaurant. I would return if in the area again.
