8/10 Very good

Well positioned, clean, friendly staff. We stayed for one night in a private room, well worth the price.

Comfortable well run hostel

Staff were so friendly and helpful. About as comfortable as a hostel could be. No toiletries in the showers but not a problem.

Very satisfied customer

Staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. Location terrific, bed was super comfy and breakfast basic but super value for money
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect Stay in the Heart of Edinburgh!

From start to finish, our experience here was absolutely wonderful. We booked an ensuite double room, and it was spotless, comfortable, and great value for money. The location couldn’t have been better, everything in both the Old Town and New Town was within easy walking distance, which made exploring Edinburgh so convenient. The staff were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast buffet was well worth it, with plenty of options to start the day right. My wife and I truly enjoyed every moment of our stay, everything was perfect. We wouldn’t hesitate to book here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh!

A nice hostel to visit and within walking distance of everywhere. We had a private ensuite, which made our stay great and the breakfast and cheap drinks were value for money.

Super cool experience for a first time hostel stay with my family. Very nice! Wasn’t sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and welcoming this place was. We are staying again next week.

Good location only

The location is excellent but the service at Reception was horrible and I the curtains from my bed/pod were initially missing.
Honie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I'd stay again, but I had the usual gripes

Lovely place, BEST CHEAP BREAKFAST I'VE EVER HAD, in the posh bar across the street. PRIME LOCATION. Kind staff. I wish hostels would check people in throughout the day instead of forcing a long queue at 3pm. With today's tech they could issue a key card that allowed no access until 3pm, and they could text you your room number then. The 4-person room was very tight, had no ventilation or AC, and had zero usable storage space because underbed lockers did not allow for larger items that otherwise could have been shoved under the bed. As there are lockers available in the nice hang-out room, underbed cages are silly. There was no paper toweling in the guest kitchen after midnight so I had to swipe a roll of TP from the common WC to dry my dishes.
Ronald, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I passed my backpacking era, but since I was curious to see how hostels are these days, I decided to book a top bunk bed at st christopher. I must say I’m glad I only have to maneuver that top spot and narrow ladder for one night😅 The bed and mattress was clean. Bathroom was ok since there are 6 female sharing. There’s no AC; so on hot summer days you must open the windows which mean you can hear all kind of noise from outside until dawn. Location however is very strategic and close to all attractions, good food and transport. Staff was friendly and helpful. There’s a chill out room with simple kitchenette. It was my last night in edinburgh so I can loose one night of sleep no problem. But if I still have to continue my trip and need my energy, I will book in a hotel to get a better night of sleep. I guess it depends on what your trip purpose and your noise tolerance level.
Yeni, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great spot right in the centre of old town. Buses and trains super close by which is convenient. Rooms are reasonably clean, but the chill zone needs a bit of TLC as it has an interesting smell. Shared showers are really clean for what I expected, a little small but for a hostel it's expected. Would stay here again

oluwandara, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

We booked a private room and were surprised that it was a tiny bunk room with hardly any space to walk around. The en-suite bathroom reminded us of a campground bathroom. Even though it had a private bathroom, we still had to pay for towels. WiFi in the room was so slow we couldn’t even book tickets for sites the next day, much less stream a movie. We checked out after one night, even though we paid for three. Would NOT recommend the private room unless you plan to use it for sleeping ONLY.
