a&o Edinburgh City

Clean and well-maintained place with a pleasant atmosphere. A wide variety of games, food options, and a fully stocked bar are available, making it enjoyable at any time of day—from breakfast through dinner. The living spaces and common areas are comfortable, spacious, and nicely designed, perfect for relaxing and socializing. Overall, a great place to stay.

I stayed in a 6 people room with a private bathroom and shower. The room was very clean. Although I needed to make my own sheets, it wasn't a problem. The bed and sheets were very comfortable and there were no unpleasant odors. My family and I had a very pleasant stay, especially the bathroom, which was exceptionally clean.

We booked a twin-private room. The room was small, so we had to put the luggage under the bed. If you want your room to be cleaned, then you have to book the room cleaning by scanning a QR code, 1 day before. We did it, but then no one cleaned our room. We told the reception, and they said they didn't receive our request. Hence, we had to re-book for the following day, and we told the reception as well. Only then, our room got cleaning. They cleaning was the basic one, emptied the trash bin, and refilled the toilet tissue. They wouldn't make up your bed. The hostel is strategically located, but to shorten the length, you have to take the stairs step (around 300m only). If you are with heavy luggage, then it will be around 700m from the train station (wheel-chair access street)

Very happy to have found this place when availability was very low in the city. Room was clean, staff courteous, and amenities were more than adequate.

Travelled with my sister to Scotland on our first cross-country trip across the UK. The hostel was good, fairly clean, and accessible. Great location and good vibes. Would recommend.

Great location and staff, but room was in a terrible condition for the price…

The location is great. The shared kitchen is clean and well equipped. The staff are friendly. The only problem with the room is the toilet lights. It is automatic lights so there is no light switch. The lights turn off every 30 seconds, and I need to wave my hand to turn it on, which is annoying. Other than that, everything was good.

Booked twin en suite room. Room was spotless, great location and excellent service. Nice bar and beer garden area too.
