We had booked two nights, we left at the end of the first because we could not find another accommodation at the last moment.

Nauseating smell throughout the hostel, moldy carpet, non-functional shower, lack of practicality in the sanitary facilities, dirty toilets

A 30-second walk from the Royal Mile, the High Street hostel met all my expectations: clean, pleasant welcome, you feel safe (entry check, locker that locks, etc.)
