Hotel très sympa, plein de vie, et plein de bonnes surprise. Le seul bémol est la taille des chambres, c'est vraiment trop petit par rapport au nombre de lit qu'on y met dedans.

Me and my boyfriend paid £10 each for a bed in a four bed dorm. The staff were friendly and helpful; they called us taxi's, suggested good places to eat and gave directions. The room was fine; clean bedding and a locker each to keep our belongings in. We ended up sharing with a young couple from Belgium and became good friends :) The building had lovely stain glass windows and winding staircases. Some of the hostel is a bit shabby but we got what we paid for.

It is a pity that lack of sanitary because 2 wc and 3 showers per floor for approximately 50 people it is null.

He misses the breakfast included in tariff.

Otherwise the nice home and well positioned hotel.

stephane, 03-01-2012

Disappointing, very disappointing, too expensive for what it is, especially after having spent the night in front to the Backpackers Calédonian (excellent and cheaper).

It is turning back to the entered for arriving 15 minutes before the time... provided it waited in the street... If If! The Manager is not sympathetic, not evil, but almost it apologize of the disturbed.

The rooms as Choco: "Small and uncomfortable rooms (pathetic mattress)".

Everything is small, the kitchen is the scuffle and he did there not really space meals except small round tables next to the pool and under the staircase in the hall entered. It is very badly fired (showers, toilets and space dry hair give in entered the hall, and therefore to the table where we eat). The Deco is non-existent or rather sinister, ducoup, it is without step comfortable and has a view it is quickly leave and it is the opinion of several people gold of my stay.

Last point: 2 TV screens are on non-stop in the entered and the hall of stairs with a clip of music of m * running loop.

No thanks.

Positive points: room small but quite clean - own shower - fairly well placed: just before the stop bus to the Airport (3.5 £ every ten minutes including night) negative Points: 1 single shower for man to our floor and very little toilet sink - expensive to benefits.

The place has perfect location (literally in the heart of the city centre) and the staff were really nice and helpful. the rooms are quite clean. the only thing i would say was causing discomfort was the lack of hot water in the morning. Nevertheless, will recommend the place.

Conveniently located in the city.

Home not nice theany. Entry into the slightly seedy hostel rooms.

Bedroom and kitchen relatively clean. In our "apartment" (together), to 30 beds, only 1 room bath/toilet + 1 independent toilet.

Why advertise in the site "towels and breakfast included"?

Perfect hostel for partying, pub and boxes just in the face! Comfort and amenities very acceptable.

math, 03-03-2012

We came more for a rugby match, and the hotel is very close to the centre.

Was very hot because the heating was difficult to resolve but otherwise very well for a youth hostel.

For those who want more luxury, choose a hotel rather than a hostel for youth but otherwise very good report quality/price.

nice hostel, cosy, comfortable, great location. just one down side i found, there were no sockets in the dorm, you had to use plug sockets located in the halls. Other than that i would definately recommend it.

Staff were so friendly and helpful! Rooms were large and spacious and each bunk gets their own free locker with key and lock! Beds are already made up which means all you have to do is fall into it after a hard day of travelling!

They have a pool table with competitions - a great way to make some friends!

Defiently enjoyed my stay here. It is a very large Hostel but everyone was very considerate and quiet during the night. I slept like a log :)

The rooms look lovely. The communal space with a stage and hamock and really high ceiling is top notch and welcoming and the location of the hostel is great. But I had a hard time sleeping with the noise of the boiler, really loud making a noise every 15 minutes. Make sure you don't get the same room, it's next to the smoker's area. The kitchen wasn't looked after well, no cups in the morning.

とても素敵なホテルです。エジンバラ城にもすぐ行けます。アートな装飾もとてもいい雰囲気を作り出していて、リラックスできました。ただファミリー部屋はグラウンドのため、外の騒音が部屋に響いてきます。また、上の階からの水漏れもありました。

MOEKO, 11-16-2011 - Rating: 60%

unfortunately I can not even rate this hostel.

seeing the photo gallery I was expecting a cool,clean hostel.

But when we arrived-only seeing the reception, I was shocked!

dirty, dark, messy,staff seemed nice but we havent been given any warm welcome or useful information e.g. whether there is a kitchen area/lounge or the doors are stiff so pay extra caution etc.

I remembered from their site there should be a kitchen but I thought let`s get rid of the luggage 1st.

Arriving to the 8bed dorm i was even more terrified: crowdy,filthy, painting comes off from the walls and the floor,mouldy bath,yuck,yuck.

BUT! the most shocking was: the window was facing to the smoking area,horrible horrible.

i just couldnt clear clearly afterwards, i didnt know what to do, I dont have any OCD and wasnt expecting 5star hotel of course but the state of hostel wasnt facing at all the photos etc on their site.

I sat down on that thingie in the room-some kind of `tresure chest` (i certainly didnt want to know what filthy,rotten tresaures could have been there), was sitting there 10`.

my friend already packed out but i didnt dare to touch anything-there was a mattress cover but was absolutely filthy-yellow and brownish stains.

other dorm mates had the same opinion but there were too tired too to make any fuss.

seeing the staff at the reception I simply gave it up to ask her to swap the room-I honestly do not know why i was being shy?!!

probably because i thought it was a lost case anyhow??

but after another 10` pathetic sitting on that thingie i ve pulled myself together and went down to ask for extra bedlinen -likely got them without any further explanation. I simply told her the mattresses/-covers are disgusting. There wasn`t any apologising or any questions though how could they be more helpful. ANd I was stupid again and didnt ask where the kitchen etc. is or the cool sitting areas from their gallery.

I just was so shocked I gave it up or i dont know -my brain froze in that filth??-I certainly didnt want to wander around in that filthy,smelly staircase either-or probably my underego was scared to have a look at their kitchen??...

i did book the en suite to make our stay more comfortable but as i didnt dare to use that mouldy,yucky shower i ve choosen the groupie one-was slightly better but 1 chair for 10places??(dirty as well). no hooks??

and we happened to have met the cleaner being up as early-though i dont know if i acn call her that: no gloves and not having cleaned the actually showers/taps/tiles/doorhandles-only the cubicles tray??what sort of cleaning is that??

wiping the water off with her hand from the sink and that is hygienic??!!

her cleaning cupboard in horrible state-dirty cloths,some maintenance leftover tools/stuff,unorganised,pile of ...#'@!!disgusting

the en suite made an extremely loud pumping/flushing noise, we kept the window shut as smokers were outside constantly,had to check door during the night as other mates havent closed it properly.

so there was hardly a sleep for us-we were happy to leave as soon as we woke up-never mind nothing was open yet in the city and was raining...

i did like edinburgh but this experience certainly wont bring me back there...

so i certainly dont recommend this hostel to anyone or if u do dare to book it, be stronger to make a fuss. gd luck!

We were also not told about luggage charges and since the check in was at 2 pm the next day at Merrill house . We left our luggage there and went out, only to be told later that luggage charges apply,
