I am not sure what some people reviewing this site are expecting from a hostel.....I stayed here with 12 guys on a stag do (we were split up across 3 rooms) and from start to finish we found it to be in an incredibly convenient location and the staff were extremely helpful! The decor isn't fantastic and the rooms are... More

Disgusting, filthy place. The sheets are not changed from person to person. The bathroom facilities are gross and toilets are broken. Our group ran out of here our first night. We weren't refunded our money for the three nights we were booked into but we didn't care! You're honestly better off bringing a blanket and sleeping on the side of... More

My Friends and I (12 altogether) had booked two rooms in this hostel as we were seeing a band at the corn exchange on the 17th of March. We arrived at the cowgate which was a block of horribly painted flats; we entered the lobby to find it full of Yobs and Neds who were using the facilities. We booked... More

If mold, damp, dirt and dust are just what you're looking for do visit this hostel or else RUN..! Never again will I set a foot inside this hostel.

A group of friends and I stayed here. The hostel is in an extremely boring building with poored cement walls. The beds are basic, but comfortable and there is no secure storage for your belongings. Showers are hot and overall the hostel is very clean. Price was ok, but not a great saver.

The most disgusting place I have ever set foot in...and I've stayed in some pretty cheap and grim hostels around the world! The bed was broken, the sheets were filthy and stained, the window didn't close, the heater was broken, the bathroom was filthy,shower didn't work and the toilet was blocked. The apartments are entered down a side street and... More

Across the street is Budget Backpackers Hostel. 180 from this place. Beautiful hostel... 1) THEY DO NOT CHANGE THEIR SHEETS. They're febreezed. Used towels are folded for the next guest. 2) TOILETS - EVERY ONE OF THEM on the second floor were broken. Would not flush. Absolutely disgusting 3)None of the toilet doors shut 4) Heating broken 5) Lights broken... More

When we arrived our booking wasn't recorded apparently due to a bad computer booking system. The guy on reception was apologetic and clearly under pressure working in such a poor and neglected hostel. The room cleanliness was questionable, the electrical sockets didn't work and the heater appliance sparked when we switched it on. The hot water didn't run from the... More

Our apartment was very clean but basic. Bunk beds, wooden floors and kitchen with cooking facilities but no frills. Mattresses were brand new and comfortable. Bed linen was clean but towels which we hired for £1 were a bit worn. Bathroom had just been painted so no complaints. Walking distance to castle and greyfriars bobby. Our group had a lot... More
