We stayed there for 10 days and expected a great time! The location is very nice, directly nearby the Royal mile but the Service was really bad there. The shared kitchen which everyone can use was always dirty and the sponges looked like 10 years old. The cups in the morning at the breakfast were most of the times dirty... More

I stayed here this past weekend. The hostel is in a great location just off the Royal Mile. We had a private room for 3. It was of excellent standard for a hostel, very clean and good facilities. I think the room we stayed in was a bit overpriced but from what I gathered while looking for somewhere to stay... More

Stayed at Smart City Edinburgh on a stag do for the weekend. Pleasantly surprised at the level of comfort and amenities that was on offer at the location. The bar area was fantastic excellent range of drinks available and the breakfast on offer was just what the doctor ordered after a heavy night on the town. I have stayed at... More

I stayed one night in Edinburgh and could not be more pleased with the amazing value I got for my money at Smart City. We were two adults and four kids, so we booked a room with six beds, three bunk beds, and an en suite bathroom. It cost less than half what other places would have charged, and at... More

Traveling in a group of six meant that every accommodation we had looked at meant two rooms and £300+ per night to stay in the centre of the city. We choose Smart City Hostel because is was going to be £100 a per. It is very basic accommodation, like you would imagine a hostel to be. We had three bunk... More

Seriously, ive stayed in hostels before and ive stayed in hotels aswell but this is in my top 5 for both. Probably top 3 to be fair. We went on a stag do to edinburgh, and we stayed here, there were 5 of us and we had a 6 person room to ourselves, i think we ended up paying roughly... More

I organised a group of 11 for a victorian themes stag do in Edinburgh. I was recommended smart city as a friend used to work there and she raved about it. Smart city was located right in the heart of the Edinburgh nightlife. Which more then catered for our indie/rock needs! The building and facilities are all brand new and... More

The Hostel is perfectly located. It is just next to the Royal Mile, and it takes 5 mins walking to get to the train station. Apart from that the Hostel is probably the best I have seen in my life. It is clean, the shower is very good, as well as the toilets. The reception is nice and the staff... More
