Located close to the tram line, which gave direct access to the airport.
Staff were friendly & helpful.
Didn’t use the amenities too much, but the kitchen area looked well stocked with equipment.

It's a youth hostel, so expect some loud kids, but beyond that it was a pleasant first glimpse into Edinburgh. Close enough to walk to the Royal Mile and by trams if not

It was very easy to arrive, public transport is 2 min walking distance, facilities are good, mattress, linen and towels were clean and staff is friendly (just not the girl that speaks Spanish, she is a little bit rude).

It was a great place to stay and in a great location being a 10 min walk from old town. I would recommend this place to everyone. The only thing to complain about was the price was a little high for a hostel but everywhere in Edinburgh is expensive to stay.

Comfy and basic
Beds were comfy and rooms were clean, perfect for a one night stay if you're not looking for any too fancy. Communal areas were comfortable too and they have a room with a ping-pong table etc.

I enjoy every time I use youth hostels in Scotland. They are affordable with nice and modern decor. The Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel was just what we needed for a weekend break, just minutes away from the city center, restaurants and shops. Plenty of parking and this is free on weekends. Staff were very nice and excellent customer service. Would definitely come back.
