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.)
Very good, clean, welcoming staff
